to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870
Scope and Contents
They also invite the loyal soldiers to go away and leave the regiment. God will judge how much evil and scandal the opposition will have worked out or give occasion to. Some few bishops are the cause of it all. Nearly every French bishop brought a servant boy along with him to Rome, and this circumstance has give rise to a pleasant anecdote. For instead of being infallibilist and anti-infallibilist, opportune and inopportune like their masters, the infallibilist boys soon took the ascendency over the Gallican boys, with the result that now all the Gallicanism has melted away, and they are all strong infallibilists, the strongest being those who belong to the strongest opponent bishops. They stand in corners where their masters cannot hear them and shout "Vive le Pape infailible'." when the Pope passes. The Roman people are much amused and have looked for a reason for this singular defection. :: I-1-m A.L.incomplete 2pp. 8vo.
