Biography

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Harold Henry was ordained a priest on December 21, 1932 for the Missionary Society of St. Columban. Pope Pius XII named him as the Apostolic Prefect of Kwangju in 1954. On January 26, 1957 he was named the titular bishop of Corydala and Vicar Apostolic of Kwangju. Henry was consecrated a bishop on May 11, 1957 by Archbishop Richard Cushing of Boston. The principal co-consecrators were Bishop John Wright of Worcester and Boston Auxiliary Bishop Jeremiah Minihan. Pope John XXIII named him as the Archbishop of Gwangju on March 10, 1962. He attended three of the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Pope Paul VI named Henry the Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Cheju on June 28, 1971. On the same date he was transferred to the titular see of Thubunae in Numidia. Henry died on March 1, 1976 at the age of 66.[1][2]

gollark: Indeed.
gollark: I mean you're writing more code than necessary for that. More detailed error messages are probably good.
gollark: That... is basically what verbose means?
gollark: This is verbose and loses information, yes.
gollark: I'm not saying C programs will immediately explode and segfault and erase all your data if a file doesn't exist or something. I'm saying that manually propagating error codes, which seems to be the general approach to error handling (outside of just immediately `exit`ing or `longjmp`y things), is verbose and bad.
