Robert J. Dwyer (1908-1976) was the first native-born Utahn to be ordained a Catholic priest. He received his Ph.D. in history from Catholic University in 1941. That same year he published his dissertation, 'The Gentile Comes to Utah: A Study in Religious and Social Conflict.' This study has never been superseded and it was reprinted in 1971. Writing from a Catholic perspective, Dwyer viewed the Mormons with ironic and bemused detachment. His treatment of Mormon and Utah history evidences original interpretive insights which Topping suggests might have potential for future interpretations of Utah history. He edited several diaries for publication by the Utah Historical Society, but history was simply an avocation for Dwyer who advanced to archbishop within the Catholic priesthood
