A Cardinal Lawyer

The Pittsburgh Catholic announced in the January 9, 2009 edition that Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Cardinal Adam Maida, Archbishop of Detroit. Cardinal Maida was a priest in the Diocese of Pittsburgh who became a civil lawyer and a canon lawyer. Then he became the Diocese of Pittsburgh’s lawyer, where he served with distinction for many years.

When he returned to Pittsburgh several years ago to be honored by Duquesne Law School, where he once taught as an adjunct professor, he told me that he didn’t practice law anymore but, as an Archbishop, he had a lot of lawyers working for him.
