The
Sydney
Morning
Herald
of
August
4th
,
1952
,
was
very
interesting
.
Its
big
front
page
rarely
bore
more
than
one
photograph
,
usually
middle
and
high
up
,
the
interest
story
of
the
day
.
And
that
day
the
picture
was
a
handsome
portrait
of
Ralph
de
Bricassart
.
His
Grace
Archbishop
Ralph
de
Bricassart
,
at
the
present
time
aide
to
the
Secretary
of
State
of
the
Holy
See
of
Rome
,
was
today
created
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
by
His
Holiness
Pope
Pius
XII
.
Ralph
Raoul
,
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
has
had
a
long
and
illustrious
association
with
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
in
Australia
,
extending
from
his
arrival
as
a
newly
ordained
priest
in
July
1919
to
his
departure
for
the
Vatican
in
March
1938
.
Born
on
September
23
,
1893
,
in
the
Republic
of
Ireland
,
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
was
the
second
son
of
a
family
which
can
trace
its
descent
from
Baron
Ranulf
de
Bricassart
,
who
came
to
England
in
the
train
of
William
the
Conqueror
.
By
tradition
,
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
espoused
the
Church
.
He
entered
the
seminary
at
the
age
of
seventeen
,
and
upon
his
ordination
was
sent
to
Australia
.
His
first
months
were
spent
in
the
service
of
the
late
Bishop
Michael
Clabby
,
in
the
Diocese
of
Winnemurra
.
In
June
1920
he
was
transferred
to
serve
as
pastor
of
Gillanbone
,
in
northwestern
New
South
Wales
.
He
was
made
Monsignor
,
and
continued
at
Gillanbone
until
December
1928
.
From
there
he
became
private
secretary
to
His
Grace
Archbishop
Cluny
Dark
,
and
finally
private
secretary
to
the
then
Archbishop
Papal
Legate
,
His
Eminence
Cardinal
di
Contini-Verchese
.
During
this
time
he
was
created
Bishop
.
When
Cardinal
di
Contini-Verchese
was
transferred
to
Rome
to
commence
his
remarkable
career
at
the
Vatican
,
Bishop
de
Bricassart
was
created
Archbishop
,
and
returned
to
Australia
from
Athens
as
the
Papal
Legate
himself
.
He
held
this
important
Vatican
appointment
until
his
transfer
to
Rome
in
1938
;
since
that
time
his
rise
within
the
central
hierarchy
of
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
has
been
spectacular
.
Now
58
years
of
age
,
he
is
rumored
to
be
one
of
the
few
men
actively
concerned
in
the
determination
of
papal
policy
.
A
Sydney
Morning
Herald
representative
talked
to
some
of
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
's
ex-parishioners
in
the
Gillanbone
area
yesterday
.
He
is
well
remembered
,
and
with
much
affection
.
This
rich
sheep
district
is
predominantly
Roman
Catholic
in
its
religious
adherence
.
"
Father
de
Bricassart
founded
the
Holy
Cross
Bush
Bibliophilic
Society
,
"
said
Mr.
Harry
Gough
,
Mayor
of
Gillanbone
.
"
It
was
--
for
the
time
especially
--
a
remarkable
service
,
splendidly
endowed
first
by
the
late
Mrs.
Mary
Carson
,
and
after
her
death
by
the
Cardinal
himself
,
who
has
never
forgotten
us
or
our
needs
.
"
"
Father
de
Bricassart
was
the
finest-looking
man
I
've
ever
seen
,
"
said
Mrs.
Fiona
Cleary
,
present
doyenne
of
Drogheda
,
one
of
the
largest
and
most
prosperous
stations
in
New
South
Wales
.
"
During
his
time
in
Gilly
he
was
a
great
spiritual
support
to
his
parishioners
,
and
particularly
to
those
of
us
on
Drogheda
,
which
as
you
know
now
belongs
to
the
Catholic
Church
.
During
floods
he
helped
us
move
our
stock
,
during
fires
he
came
to
our
aid
,
even
if
it
was
only
to
bury
our
dead
.
He
was
,
in
fact
,
an
extraordinary
man
in
every
way
,
and
he
had
more
charm
than
any
man
I
've
ever
met
.
One
could
see
he
was
meant
for
great
things
.
Indeed
we
remember
him
,
though
it
's
over
twenty
years
since
he
left
us
.
Yes
,
I
think
it
's
quite
truthful
to
say
that
there
are
some
around
Gilly
who
still
miss
him
very
much
.
"
During
the
war
the
then
Archbishop
de
Bricassart
served
His
Holiness
loyally
and
unswervingly
,
and
is
credited
with
having
influenced
Field
Marshal
Albert
Kesselring
in
deciding
to
maintain
Rome
as
an
open
city
after
Italy
became
a
German
enemy
.
Florence
,
which
had
asked
in
vain
for
the
same
privilege
,
lost
many
of
its
treasures
,
only
restored
later
because
Germany
lost
the
war
.
In
the
immediate
postwar
period
,
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
helped
thousands
of
displaced
persons
seek
asylum
in
new
countries
,
and
was
especially
vigorous
in
aiding
the
Australian
immigration
program
.
