Cody was appointed Archbishop of Chicago, on June 16, 1965 and installed August 24, 1965. He was elevated to Cardinal on June 26, 1967. Cody's time in Chicago was marked by strife and controversy. Cody found his traditonal 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. Cardinal Cody's position was further aggravated by aggressive investigative reporting by Chicago daily newspapers which added sensationalist details to the already-rife rumor mill. These reports as well as his public statements and actions caused much concern by Vatican officials, including, presumably, both Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paull II.

Cardinal Cody's Final Resting Place

The controversies were somewhat abetted as the Cardinal's health declined in the earlier 1980's, 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. Cardinal Cody was succeded by Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Bernardin in the summer of 1982, whose first task was to ameliorate the tense relationship between the clergy and laity with the bishop's authority. As he demonstrated so well, Archbishop (later Cardinal) Bernardin proved himself to be the healing presence the Archdiocese of Chicago so badly needed at the time.
