Cody found his traditional view of episcopal authority often in conflict with a number of priests of his diocese, and some of his actions and decisions were questioned by members of the clergy and laity alike - many of whom found themselves writing to the Vatican to express their concerns over the cardinal's administration. He again created strife and controversy the following year when he started a plan to bus minority children from the inner city to less crowded suburban Catholic schools in the Chicago area. He was praised by leaders of the black community for his support of inner city schools, but condemned by others for closing several of the least solvent inner city schools.
Cardinal Cody's position was further aggravated by thorough reporting from Chicago daily newspapers over his financial activities. His actions triggered an investigation by the U.S. attorney's office. United States Attorneys (also known as federal prosecutors) represent the United States federal government in United States district court and Among the information uncovered were clues that Cody was supporting a mistress with church funds. These reports as well as his public statements and actions caused much concern by Vatican officials. According to Andrew Greeley, Pope Paul VI went so far as to instruct Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, travelling to South America, to order Cody to resign. The Reverend Dr Andrew M Greeley (born February 5, 1928 in Oak Park Illinois, to Andrew and Grace Greeley is an Irish-American Roman Pope Sebastiano Cardinal Baggio ( 16 May 1913 - March 21, 1993) was an Italian clergyman the President of the Vatican City State in 1984 However, when he arrived at the airport, Baggio was phoned and instructed to try to persuade Cody to quit voluntarily. Cody "refused in a shouting match at the cardinal's mansion" at Mundelein Seminary. University of Saint Mary of the Lake, also called Mundelein Seminary, is the principal Seminary and school of theology for the formation of Priests [1].
The controversies were somewhat abetted as the Cardinal's health declined in the earlier 1980s, and a number of his former adversaries came to the beleaguered Cardinal's defense in his last years. Cardinal Cody died from a heart attack at the age of 74, and was subsequently interred in the Bishops’ Mausoleum at Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Hillside, Illinois. Hillside is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The allegations against him were before a grand jury at the time of his death, and the jury refused to return any charges, allowing the issue to die with him. In the Common law, a grand jury is a type of Jury which determines whether there is enough evidence for a trial.
Cardinal Cody was succeeded in the summer of 1982 by Joseph Cardinal Bernardin. Joseph Louis Cardinal Bernardin (originally Bernardini) ( April 2, 1928 &ndash November 14, 1996) was an American
