In the early 19th century, democratic elements in church government emerged from several sources: prelates like Archbishop John Carroll, who insisted that American bishops, including himself, be elected by the priests; civil law which mandated trusteeships; national parishes, particularly German and Polish, who brought over European traditions of the laypeople establishing and directing the parish; visionaries like John England, bishop of Charleston, S.C. (1820-1842), sent from Ireland, who arrived with a diocesan constitution, modeled on the American Constitution. His parishes governed themselves through periodic conventions where elected delegates of clergy and laypeople discussed the region's problems.
The [anonymous] theologian said the religious conservatism and the history of ethnic tensions of Catholics in the Scranton diocese – including the century-old Polish National Catholic church schism from Roman Catholicism, which started with an Irish-American bishop's insensitivity to a Polish national parish in Scranton – are also major factors that have to be taken into account in any assessment of the complex negative response of local priests and laity to Martino's style of governance.
