J. Harding Fisher SJ (December 9, 1875 - May 4, 1961) was an American Jesuit priest, writer, and associate editor of the Jesuit magazine America [1]
In June 1937, he was made the rector of the College of St. Ignatius at Inisfada, the former estate of Nicholas F. Brady in Manhasset, New York.[2]
At a mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1938, Fisher claimed that a “highly organized system of atheism" was threatening “Christian civilization” outside the Catholic Church.[3]
