Scope and Contents

Father Doyle reports that at a meeting of forty English speaking priests of the Diocese of Milwaukee, held during their Retreat last month, he introduced the question of parochial rights. Everyone present pledged himself to do all he can to obtain that right. Doyle also says that he finds the German pastors nearly all straight on the question, too. Mention was made in the Journal of the expense for proper representation of the case in Rome. He pledges $100 towards that fund, subject to McMaster's call at any time. He points out a precedent in England, where a similar fight was carried on. There the priests signed a card and returned it, the cards then being presented to the Holy Father with a petition. The prayer was immediately granted. He and the other priests indorse every word McMaster has written and ask God to bless "Jus" the pen name of the author of the articles on parochial rights. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
