Scope and Contents

Father Oram commends Brownson for the good work which he has and is doing for the Catholic Church in America. Father feels he has learned much from Brownson's Review, even though he is a priest. Brownson is not only a staunch Catholic but also a true American. The greatest question of the day is how to reconcile the church with modern society. Father read Le Monde of Paris, an article contained there-in remarks that the liberty of the press and conscience are not defensible by staunch Catholics hence Father wishes Brownson would take the idea conveyed and defend it. :: II-4-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
