Life
Carney was ordained a priest on March 21, 1942 by the then Archbishop of Vancouver, William Mark Duke . He initially worked as an assistant priest at the Holy Rosary Cathedral until 1950 , before after further work as an assistant priest in 1954 he became parish pastor of the parish of Corpus Christi . In 1964 Carney was promoted to Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Vancouver and was henceforth allowed to carry the title of Monsignor .
Pope Paul VI appointed him on January 7, 1966 titular bishop of Obori and appointed him auxiliary bishop in Vancouver. He was ordained bishop on February 11th of the same year by the later Cardinal Sergio Pignedoli , then Apostolic Delegate in Canada. Co- consecrators were Martin Michael Johnson , Archbishop of Vancouver, and Michael Cornelius O'Neill , Archbishop of Regina . On January 8, 1969 Paul VI appointed him. as the new Archbishop of Vancouver. Carney was the first archbishop to be born in Vancouver. In view of the expectations of many Catholics after the reforms of the Second Vatican Council , he was considered extremely conservative. This impression was reinforced by Carney's unreserved endorsement of the papal encyclical Humanae vitae of 1968. Pope John Paul II appointed him a member of the Congregation for the Clergy in 1986 .
In 1989 Archbishop Carney was diagnosed with cancer, to which he succumbed a year later at the age of 75.
