Schreiner, Father Lawrence, Berlin, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 September 22
Scope and Contents
In his last letter, not yet answered, Schreiner made complaint against Father Joseph Kindekens for having interfered with the jurisdiction of his mission. Further experience at Berlin shows that he will never be able to induce the members of the mission to comply with their duties toward their pastor if Kindekens supports their opposition. Four months ago he informed Kindekens that he had appointed Father Ferdinand Allgayer to attend the cases of necessity in his mission yet Kindekens answers calls for baptisms in his missions. He told Schreiner that he was about to expose Father Marko Martin M. Marco for baptizing a child of his mission. Kindekens had said when Schreiner left his house "you will have to feel? in your mission for having written such a letter to the bishop against me." Lefevere may show this letter to Kindekens. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
