Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

The situation in their city is unfair to Father Francis Van der Bom? . Only those of other denominations have any pleasure in the situation. The Bishop should not listen to those who are doing the complaining against Father Francis. They are people who have not made their Easter duty for as much as 7 years. Some think he is too strict. With regard to the school Father Mary Paul Wehrle thinks that Father Francis is speculating when building it. Yet the school was only half of what it should have been with the result that the Catholics were in a dilemma whether to send their children to other schools or keep them at home. They hope that Lefevere will not take away their priest but if that is necessary that he will replace him with another. :: III-2-i A.L.S. German script 2pp. 8vo.
