I believe Cardinal O’Connor was a Red Sox fan. One year their opening day game was scheduled for Good Friday at 3:05 PM.

Cardinal O’Connor was a man of unbending principle.

One time a member of my parish, which like many parishes needs gobs of money weekly, said that Pro-Life petitions were not read at Sunday Mass in order not to offend the Pro-Choice parishioners!
