Excerpt from Two Crowded Years: Being Selected Addresses, Pastorals, and Letters Issued During the First Twenty-Four Months of the Episcopate of the Most Rev. George William Mundelein, D.D., As Archbishop of Chicago Archbishop Mundelein did not find it hard to secure his materials. No one who could help him failed to see that his devotion was for the cause and not for himself. That sort of devotion always Wins friends and helpers. He was never afraid to ask, because he was never asking selfishly. When he spoke it was always for the cause he had to champion, for the country, for the state, for the city. People under stand this kind of devotion and respond to it. So the materials came and the works went on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.

George William Mundelein was born on July 2, 1872, in Manhattan, New York. His father was of German descent, and his mother was Irish. His grandfather fought in the Civil War. Mundelein attended La Salle Academy and Manhattan College.
After graduating from Manhattan College in 1889 he spent 3 years at St. Vincent's Seminary in Beatty, Pa.
He completed his studies at the Urban College of the Propagation of the Faith in Rome, receiving a doctor of divinity degree, and was ordained in 1895.
George William Mundelein returned to his diocese of Brooklyn to serve as secretary to Bishop Charles E. McDonnell, becoming chancellor and auxiliary bishop in 1909. Mundelein succeeded James Edward Quigley as archbishop of Chicago in 1915.
George William Mundelein founded Quigley Preparatory Seminary in 1918, and it was soon the largest in the nation. In 1921 he established a seminary, St. Mary of the Lake, which he regarded as the major achievement of his career. When he was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 1924, his supporters donated $1 million for the seminary. Two years later he presided over the Eucharistic Congress in Chicago, one of the largest religious meetings in history. In 1918 he launched the Associated Catholic Charities of Chicago; he supported the work of Big Brothers, in which Holy Name Society men served as friends and advisers of needy young men. He sponsored the first diocesan council of the Legion of Decency. After the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, diocesan agencies worked closely with governmental programs aimed at relief and reform.
Always aware of the existence of social injustice, Mundelein warned against the exploitation of labor and warmly supported the New Deal administration of Franklin Roosevelt. In 1937 Mundelein warned against isolationism and vigorously denounced Nazism and Adolf Hitler. His diocese was a center of social action programs, with Catholic priests and other leaders supporting the unionizing drives of the new Committee for Industrial Organization and participating in efforts at civic improvement and social reform.
Mundelein died in Chicago on October 2, 1939, on the eve of a planned radio address supporting a more vigorous American policy of resistance to totalitarianism.
