Nationality[edit]

Was he Czech? --Sheynhertz-Unbayg 22:10, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK his mother was Czech and his father German (German-speaking Bohemian). Qertis 09:26, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

He was born in what is now the Czech Republic — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.235.14.181 (talk) 20:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the history of Eastern Europe, that is no indicator of ethnicity. Daniel the Monk (talk) 23:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Peter's Parish[edit]

The section is dedicated to "institutions that bear his name."

I previously integrated the content into the "Bishop of Philadelphia" text, but if you think that's not sufficient, I encourage you to add a new section listing schools and parishes he founded. (In fact, I think that would be a very valuable addition.)Vordabois (talk) 06:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if there is a list of schools that bear his name. I know of at least five, but would be curious if that is worthy of noting on this page. I will leave that to the experts. CodeCarpenter (talk) 21:31, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

St. John Neumann Shrine Photo[edit]

Bold textI would like to point out that the photograph of St. John Neuman's holy remains in the section about his canonization is outdated. As of the early 2000's new vestments were given to his remains and the Shrine itself has been renovated. I would like to add a updated photo, however, I don't know where to find recent photo that is public domain. Therefore, I hope someone who has such a photograph would be happy to share it with the article. Thank you.DenitaArnold (talk) 19:02, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth bishop[edit]

According to catholic-hierarchy.org, St. John is the fifth, not the fourth, bishop of Philadelphia. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 21:22, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Egan (1808-1814), Henry Conwell (1819-1841), Francis Kenrick (1842-1851), John Neumann (1852-1860). Between Egan and Conwell, Catholic Hierarchy includes Ambrose Marechal and Louis de Barth. At the time of Egan's death, Philadelphia was in the midst of the trusteeism controversy and nobody really wanted it. James McNeal, in the Catholic Encyclopedia, says that Marechal was nominated, but requested the nomination be withdrawn. De Barth was Egan's vicar general and upon Egan's death Carroll made him apostolic administrator to hold the fort, and De Barth didn't even want that. It does not appear that either Marechal or De Barth were ever formally consecrated Bishop of Philadelphia. Conwell was vicar general of Armagh and over seventy. When he was not appointed to succeed there, he was offered as a consolation prize either Philadelphia or Madras. He chose Philadelphia, but had no idea what he was walking into.
