Perrodin, Father J. C., Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1869 March 3
Scope and Contents
The writer sends one subscription to the Journal, but cannot order more because his congregation is Canadian-French. As McMaster was discussing in the Journal the evil tendencies of the public school and how to improve the status of the quasi-parochi. The writer refers him to his "Conversations" on that subject. In it are the opinions of a missionary of the far West. With regard to the position of quasi pastors, McMaster referred to some specific articles in the Encyclopedie Theologique of Migne and the "Droit Canon" by Andre. One argument not brought forward by "Jus" is that of a priest subjected to persecutions by infidels, and others, and tempted to give up the struggle in the cause of God. Many priests are dishearteded by facing a sudden removal merely to gratify the wishes of some proud upstart, who cannot hear the zeal of a good pastor.
