Interesting life, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration of the period. I just love sentences in the sources such as "He came of good Irish stock, in whom the faith was strongly implanted." I am not happy with the hook because it doesn't say too much about what he stood for, and the move to Boston teaching might be more surprising, but as you wish. I'll watch for other suggestions. Perhaps at least add "Jesuit" somewhere to the hook? Woodstock could be any college. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
