Mahoney asks McMaster to publish the enclosed communication. He thanks him for the articles concerning the rights of the Priesthood in America. If many priests had been shown justice and charity by their bishops they might have been saved from destruction and avoided a scandal to religion. The evils are remedial, but the priests have no rights whatever. Even a negro has the right of a trial if accused but a priest is at the mercy of his Bishop, who is often influenced by passion or prejudice. McMaster takes the view of the Church and is on the side of right and justice. Only a Catholic layman can defend the priesthood, if a priest undertook it he would be crushed. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
