Frieschbier, C.SS.R. Father Peter, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870 June 22
Scope and Contents
Father Frieschbier, in remarking on McMaster's article on the declaration of St. Alphonsus as a Doctor Ecclesiae, states that he feels that the Pope's petition is the most powerful influence. He refers McMaster to a volume containing the signatures of 803 prelates who petitioned the cause under Gregory XVI, and points out that of the present pontiff. He remarks on several errors that McMaster had corrected in later issues of the Freeman, and suggests one or two mistakes that are apparent. He remarks also that bishops coming from the ranks of religious orders, while free from the rules of the order, should sign the initials of their order after their names. P.S. He did not write this for publication, but McMaster can use it if he wishes. As regards an article which recently appeared in the Philadelphia press he believes that it would be ignorance to try to twist the words of Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick to be an argument against the Infallibility. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
