James John Hogan (October 17, 1911 – June 14, 2005) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, Pennsylvania (1966–1986). ==Biography== Hogan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and moved with his family to Camden, New Jersey, at a young age. After graduating from Camden Catholic High School, he studied at St. Charles College in Catonsville, Maryland; St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore; and Pontifical North American College in Rome.〔 While in Rome, he was ordained to the priesthood on December 8, 1937. On November 27, 1959, Hogan was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Trenton and Titular Bishop of ''Philomelium'' by Pope John XXIII.〔 He received his episcopal consecration on February 25, 1960 from Bishop George W. Ahr, with Bishops James A. McNulty and James Griffiths serving as co-consecrators.〔 He was named Bishop of Altoona-Johnstown on May 23, 1966, and installed on the following July 6.〔 (Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, June 16 2005) In 1994, James J. Hogan was found liable for the actions of a Catholic pedophile priest, Father Francis Luddy, (http://www.aopc.org/OpPosting/Supreme/out/J-208-2004.mo.pdf) The jury found that the diocese and Bishop Hogan "knew that (Luddy) had a propensity for pedophilic behavior." Evidence and testimony are amptly demonstrated (http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2003_01_06/2003_02_24_Evans_EvidenceReveals.htm). The diocese and Hogan were "negligent in retaining him (Luddy) and his activities." The diocese paid $1.2 million in damages initially, and an additional $1 million award is pending. Hogan died at (Garvey Manor Nursing Home ) in Hollidaysburg,〔 aged 93. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James John Hogan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
