O'Connor, S.J., Bishop Michael, Baltimore, Maryland, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of Hartford, Providence, Rhode Island, 1860s

 Item
Identifier: CDHT I-1-a

Scope and Contents

O'Connor thinks that the suspension binds the person no matter where he goes but it must be inflicted properly and according to the canons. He is not certain, but he thinks that the first summons must go in writing. He should be required to appear and be properly convicted and the sentence pronounced only then. This mode may have some delays but it is more solemn. Though not habitually subject to the bishop he can be subject by reason of the fault and once properly inflicted, the penalty would bind no matter where the person may go, If properly summoned, then when he would not appear he would be considered as absent per contumaciam. The penalty, being so great, must be applied strictly and the abuse to be checked must be a very serious one and then it may be applied with a strong hand. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
