William Theodore Mulloy (November 9, 1892 – June 1, 1959) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Covington from 1945 until his death in 1959. ==Biography== The oldest of five children, William Mulloy was born in Ardoch, North Dakota, to William James and Margaret Ann (née Doyle) Mulloy. He attended St. Boniface College in Winnipeg, Canada, before returning to the United States and studying at St. Paul Seminary and St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop James O'Reilly on June 7, 1916. Returning to North Dakota, Mulloy then served as a curate at (St. Michael Church ) in Grand Forks until 1920, when he became pastor of (St. Boniface Church ) in Wimbledon.〔 He was pastor of (Sacred Heart Church ) in Cando from (1921-1925) and of (St. Alphonsus Church ) in Langdon and dean of the Langdon Deanery (1925-1933).〔 From 1933 to 1938, he served as pastor of his home parish of (St. John the Evangelist Church ) in Grafton and dean of the Grafton Deanery.〔 He became president of the (National Catholic Rural Life Conference ) in 1935, and rector of (St. Mary's Cathedral ) in 1938.〔 He also served as superintendent of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Fargo and editor of the diocesan newspaper.〔 He was raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate in 1941.〔 On November 18, 1944, Mulloy was appointed the sixth Bishop of Covington, Kentucky, by Pope Pius XII.〔 He received his episcopal consecration on January 10, 1945 from Bishop Aloisius Joseph Muench, with Bishops Vincent James Ryan and Peter William Bartholome serving as co-consecrators, at St. Mary's Cathedral.〔 In addition to rural issues, Mulloy was also dedicated to civil rights. Speaking to the Catholic Committee of the South in 1951, he declared that "racial justice is a moral question" and that Catholic leaders in the Southern United States "cannot remain silent," even at the expense of being labeled with "the opprobrious accusation of being 'anti-Southern.'" After fifteen years as bishop, Mulloy died in Covington at age 66. He is buried at St. Mary Cemetery in Fort Mitchell.〔 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「William Theodore Mulloy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
