According to James Carroll, "In the early 1950s, Cushing forced one of the great changes in Catholic theology by excommunicating Father Leonard Feeney for preaching on Boston Common that 'there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.'... Feeney confidently appealed to Rome, forcing the Vatican to take a position on the question. When the Vatican supported Cushing and upheld the excommunication of Feeney, the long-held doctrine of Catholic exclusivism was overturned." - Boston Globe, 12/19/2005
Carroll is not a mainstream source on Catholicism. Such a statment needs to be balanced. --Samuel J. Howard 05:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] College
Does anyone know if the now-closed Cardinal Cushing College in Brookline, Mass. was named after Cushing? It seems logical, especially given the location, but I can't find a source. Beginning 17:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I think the answer should be obvious. HOT L Baltimore 10:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feeney
The section here on Feeney was obviously written by a wild Feeney-fan, and needs to be reworked. Feeney was a heretic in the eyes of Rome, not just a political pain in the butt (and whatever influence he might have had on politics was miniscule anyway). The rest of the article seems to be flavored by a Cushing fan.HarvardOxon 04:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that it seems way too off balance. The claim by an earlier commentor seems to place undue weight AGAINST James Carroll, but, according to WP:V it's a verifiable statement that Carroll said what he said. Additionally, I'm sure there must be other sources regarding the Vatican's decision.--72.192.37.93 15:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still unbalanced?
I have made a large amount of edits to the Cardinal's article, and as far as I can see, there does not seem to still exist any biased remarks. However, before removing the label, I wanted to see if anybody else had anything to say. Tajm, 20 April 2007, 17:31 (UTC)
