Francis Joseph Spellman was an American bishop and cardinal of the Catholic Church, and one of the most powerful figures in the Catholic Church in North America.
Support for Ivan Illich
He was impressed by Ivan Illich and "saw him as a key figure in the American Church's future".[1] Illich was permanently attached to his diocese.[2] He gave his influential support to Illich's 1956 appointment as vice-rector of the Catholic University at Ponce in Puerto Rico.
Spellman died in December 1967. He had protected Illich against those in the Roman Catholic Church who were upset by his radical ideas for social reform; in 1968 Illich was summoned to the Vatican and called to subjected to an inquisition.[3]
VIPaedophile
Spellman attended blackmail parties at a Manhattan hotel, arranged by Roy Cohn, where young boys were always present. The journalist Michelangelo Signorile called Cardinal Spellman not only "an active homosexual" but "one of the most notorious, powerful, and sexually voracious homosexuals in the American Catholic Church's history."[4]
Spellman also actively condoned pedophilia in the Catholic Church and ordained known pedophiles, including Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. McCarrick was friends with both Presidents George H.W. Bush and Joe Biden.)[5][6]
Curt Gentry, a 1991 biographer of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, said that Hoover's secret files contained "numerous allegations that Spellman was a very active homosexual."[7]
Censorship
When Signorile wanted to publish the VIPaedophile information in a book, the publisher, Times Books, forced him to reduce the four pages of bombshells about Spellman's sexuality to a single paragraph. The published book contained these two sentences: "For years rumors abounded about Cardinal Spellman being a homosexual. As a result, many felt—and continue to feel—that Spellman the public moralist may well have been a contradiction of the man of the flesh."[8]
