Overview

[edit]

Sorry for the delay. Most suggestions are minor, and overall this article is in very good shape. Article is coherently structured and well-written for a wide range of audiences. The article is formatted with the style of other comparable bishopric and clergy-related articles, integrates appropriate infoboxes and templates, and is effectively illustrated.

Lead Section

[edit]

Effective summarization. Well written and eloquent.

Please consider removing the period after Cathedral in: "original St. Patrick's Cathedral. and later as".

"His cousin was Bishop Edward Fenwick." is an abrupt end to that paragraph. Perhaps combining it with the preceding sentence, as they both pertain to his family's involvement as clergy. Alternatively, consider including a brief notation of what makes Edward Fenwick notable, as done with Enoch.

At the end of the section, "He and his brother were among the first six..." implies that they were among the first six overall restored jesuit novices. Please confirm that this is correct, as the Lord source is unclear as to whether they were among the first 6 overall, and happened to be at Georgetown, or if they were among the first 6 Georgetown novices. Perhaps a bit of context for a slightly broader audience would be appreciated.

- "...Jesuits in the United States could not sustain..." -- was this meant to be "in the United States to sustain...'" or "in the United States and could not...?"

- Wikilink to Pastor can be removed from the start of the last paragraph in this section, given the context provided herein.

  • I link it because pastor does have a precise meaning within Catholic canon law that some other Christian denominations tend to use more loosely. The pastor article explains this. Ergo Sum 04:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- "Fenwick succeeded him as pastor of St. Peter's Church as well." -- It might be helpful to make it more clear that Fenewick was responsible for both St. Peter's and St. Patrick's simultaneously. The timeline of this paragraph is somewhat unclear.

- "and John Power would become the next pastor of Old St. Peter's in 1825" -- Did you mean St. Patrick's? Perhaps also include a note on the vacancy noted in in the succession box.

- "priests in the diocese had increased to 24 by this time" -- By what time?

- Link to First Provincial Council of Baltimore can be directed to Provincial Councils of Baltimore#First Provincial Council for specificity.

- "and chose as the name of the new school the College of the Holy Cross, in honor of the original Boston cathedral" -- Consider rewording. Along the lines of "and named the new school the College of the Holy Cross, in honor...". Simpler would probably be better here.

- ""Memoirs to Serve for the Future Ecclesiastical History of the Diocess of Boston." However, this was never published during his lifetime." -- Combine to single sentence. 2nd sentence is a dependent clause.

- "An effigy of Bishop Fenwick" -- consider a wikilink to effigy.
