Gross, C.SS.R., Father William H., Boston, Massachusetts, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1872 May 6
Scope and Contents
He calls McMaster's attention to the "Peace Jubilee" which is about to begin at the "Hub." The world assembles to sing an anthem of peace while the Pope is still in horrible imprisonment. This sort of action does not become Catholics; the political status of the world should not be a cause of joy while the temporal power of the Pope has been taken from him and he made a prisoner. Enemies of the Church should celebrate but Catholics cannot consider any such state of affairs a peace worthy of their rejoicing. Mr. Gilmour is said to be a Free-Mason and the enterprise is a Free Mason affair. This is a private letter, but he thought it well to call McMaster's attention to this view of the universal peace jubilee. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
