James Michael Harvey (born October 20, 1949) is an American Roman Catholic cardinal.
He was born in the U.S. city of Milwaukee, and was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee on June 29, 1975, by Pope Paul VI in Rome. In that ceremony, 359 priests were ordained to mark the Holy Year.
Harvey studied at the St. Francis Seminary. He was then sent to Rome where he earned a doctorate in canon law, while residing at the Pontifical North American College. He was next summoned to study at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in Rome where he studied diplomacy. Besides his native English, he speaks Italian, German, French and Spanish.[1]
Harvey entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See on 25 March 1980. He served as attaché in the apostolic nunciature in the Dominican Republic from 1980 until 1981 then as secretary from 1981 to 1982. On 10 July 1982, he went to work at the Secretariat of State. He was named assessor of the Secretariat of State on 22 July 1997.
On February 7, 1998, he was named Prefect of the Papal Household by Pope John Paul II, who consecrated him a bishop of the titular see of Memphis (Egypt) on March 19, 1998. In 1999 Harvey was awarded Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by the President of the Republic.[2]
John Paul II elevated him to archbishop on September 29, 2003.[3][4][5]
He was appointed Archpriest of St Paul Outside the Walls, one of the four major basilicas in Rome, on 23 November 2012.[6] One day later he was created a Cardinal-Deacon of San Pio V a Villa Carpegna by Pope Benedict XVI.
