Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Father Verberk, having read the remarks of Jus, wishes to add a few suggestions. He points out that quite a number of priests do not read English papers, and thus know nothing of the great question. He points out that the German papers have made no exposition of the question. He includes the remarks of a newly consecrated Bishop, who has forbidden Catholics to read papers attempting to sow seeds of discord between the Bishops and the clergy. He feels that such remarks will have an effect on some priests, while many would be willing to sign the petition if they were better acquainted with the problem. P.S. He suggests that it would be a good plan to print a circular explaining the case and sending it to every priest in the United States, requesting that the circular be signed and returned. Father Verberk sends the name of three priests who have declared their allegiance to the cause of Jus, and suggests also that McMaster send the Freeman to these men, on trial. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
