Scope and Contents

The writer asks McMaster to read what the Chicago Times, the leading Democratic paper in the West which is read by many Irish Catholics, has to say about Archbishop John Baptist Purcell . The writer thanks McMaster for his energetic defense of the Church and Papal infallibility against all opposition, whatever its rank. He thinks Purcell does not prove to be a learned man, having advanced such historical brass in his harangue. McMaster is mistaken about the University of Bonn and the Crown Prince. The University was established by Prussia, with Catholic money, in order to convert the Rhineland and Westphalia to Prussianism and Protestantism. The Crown Prince is semicatholic when in Catholic provinces and wholly Protestant when in Protestant provinces. In reality he is nothing. The September 12 1870 Chicago Times shows that the editor read the Journal. The German Catholic papers, with the exception of the Katholische Volks-Zeitung of Baltimore, are pretty hard on the Journal. They are Organs without brain of two published at Cincinnati, one is worthy of the brains of the bob-tails of the "Telegraph". Prussia is guided by the Freemasons, who are working for a general revolution. :: I-2-h L. incomplete 2pp. 12mo.
