| Summary: | The post-Vatican II Church is alive with various manifestations of ecumenical and interfaith dialogue, bringing peoples of faith closer together. Two generations before Vatican II, however, Archbishop Edward Hanna of San Francisco, through his ecclesial duties and numerous positions associated with municipal, state, and national government, promoted an ecumenical spirit. Hanna was recognized by people of various faith traditions, especially the Jewish community and government leaders, as one who was fair and balanced in his attitudes and actions, and he commanded the respect of all parties. As priest and then archbishop, Hanna served both church and state in a fifty-year career that promoted the common good for all Americans and thus serves as a model for Catholicism in the United States at the dawn of the third millennium. |
