Biography

Joseph Hurley was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 29, 1919. He later became a Monsignor, held diplomatic posts in India and Japan (where he was temporarily left in charge after Apostolic Delegate Edward Mooney's nomination as Bishop of Rochester [Catholic News Agency. [http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column.php?n=381 Book Reviews: Vatican Secret Diplomacy: Joseph P. Hurley and Pope Pius XII] ] ), and was an official in the Vatican Secretariat of State from 1934 to 1940.

On August 16, 1940, Hurley was appointed the sixth Bishop of St. Augustine, Florida, by Pope Pius XII. It was rumored that his appointment was made in order for him to remain in contact with the ailing Myron Charles Taylor, the American emissary to the Vatican [TIME Magazine. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,764557,00.html Diplomats on the Move] September 2, 1940] . He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 6 from Luigi Cardinal Maglione, with Archbishops Celso Costantini and Clemente Micara serving as co-consecrators.

During World War II, Hurley strongly condemned Nazism and declared it an even greater enemy than Communism [TIME Magazine.

[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,849408,00.html?promoid=googlep Bishop Speaks] July 14, 1941] , to the criticism of Archbishop Francis Beckman [TIME Magazine. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,884401,00.html Brother Against Brother] August 4, 1941] . In 1943, Hurley described the Allied bombing of Rome as a "tragically mistaken decision," and predicted that "much of our national unity, much of the respect we enjoy abroad now lie, with San Lorenzo, in ruins" [TIME Magazine. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,777928,00.html Unusual Affliction] August 2, 1943] . He represented Pius XII at the show trial of Croatian Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac in 1946 [TIME Magazine. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,934042,00.html Aid for the Archbishop] October 14, 1946] .

Hurley was given the personal title of "Archbishop" on August 14, 1949, and later attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965.

Hurley later died at age 73.
