 Cardinal O'Connor, 80, Dies; Forceful Voice for Vatican
Cardinal O'Connor came to New York in 1984 in a glare of publicity and a flurry of controversy, a relatively unknown Roman Catholic bishop from Pennsylvania who was suddenly catapulted into the church's most visible post in the United States.
By contrast, Cardinal O'Connor's willingness to joust with public officials and project the church into public debates recalled the years from 1939 to 1967, when the archdiocesan headquarters of Cardinal Francis Spellman was known as the Powerhouse for the leverage the church wielded in city affairs.
And if Cardinal O'Connor could sometimes still affect city policies with a few phone calls to some politicians, in Cardinal Spellman's day, or so it was widely believed, the calls would have been initiated by the politicians themselves, who were careful to check their plans with the Powerhouse.
