Barnabo, Cardinal Alexander, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick, St. Louis, Missouri, 1868 September 9
Scope and Contents
Barnabo is gratified that these accusations sent to him were for the most, contrary to the truth. However, he deems it opportune to observe that if Metropolitans were to show themselves more inclined to admit and consider the complaints made to them by some against their Bishop, recourse might not so readily be had to this Sacred Congregation. When difficulties are not settled by those to whom they belong, the Sacred Congregation is compelled to lend a willing ear, owing to the deep concern for the right administration of the Church. Barnabo asks that mention be made to Duggan, that the Congregation rejoices that the accusations have been found to be false, and that its good will towards him has not in the least been diminished. :: III-2-l Printed L. 4pp. 8vo.
