Hi! I am responding to the Good Article Nomination for this article. I will begin the review shortly! Whiteguru (talk) 06:26, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.
   1. The Lead is a well scribed summary of the article as a whole.
   2. Early Life and Ministry are well written, if a little over-referenced. It is unusual for Jesuits to be assigned to missionary work prior to taking of final vows; this is a good observation.
   3. I wonder about the reference to Thomas Paine, the avowed atheist. Is this relevant?
   4. Observation. In the section Washington Seminary the references jump from 23 to 42.
   5. Else, the text is well scribed, clear and pleasing to read.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
   1. Notes are succinct and appropriate.
   2. References: have been checked, however, the jump in references from 22 to 42 mentioned above bears some explanation as the references remain in the text.
   3. Sources are verified, examined and well laid out.

3. It is broad in its coverage.
   1. Broad, appropriate and not too detailed.
   2. The issue of court trial of the Seal of the Confessional and establishment of religious liberty in the US is important in its precedence in establishing confessional privilege.
   3. This is likely the most comprehensive modern coverage of the life of Anthony Kohlmann.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
   1. Coverage is considered neutral. There is no bias nor attack on Anthony Kohlmann. The section of Georgetown College and the attempted revolt of students against Stephen Larigaudelle Dubuisson and strict discipline taken up by Kohlmann is neutral and supported by other sources.

5. It is stable.
   1. Article is considered stable; no edits nor rollbacks encountered.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
   1. Images - where used - are timely and appropriate. Images are artwork as this article and its subject are apriori photography.

7. Overall:
   1. Pass Y

@Whiteguru: Thank you for your review. To clarify, have you passed this GAN? If so, it doesn't seem that the WP:GAN/I#PASS steps have been completed yet. Ergo Sum 17:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your comment above: The fact that Paine was an atheist is important because it helps explain the violent reaction later. The jump in citation numbers is quite normal. It is because reference 23 had been used earlier in the article. Ergo Sum 17:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

@Ergo Sum: Thanks, the GA PASS process is complete. Whiteguru (talk) 00:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
