McCormick, James, New York, New York, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1874 March 27
Scope and Contents
McCormick writes a letter to the editor in which suggests that Catholics unite in order to arm a thousand men and rescue the Pope from his captors. Catholics in America, Italy, Belgium, Spain, and France could unite. In this country both able theologians and laymen speak of the wrongs the Pope suffers, but few boldly suggest an armed Crusade. The time has come for action. The Catholic world must fight against the Kaisers of Italy, Russia, Austria, and Germany, who have declared war on spiritual and temporal things. If the Catholic Union would organize an armed crusade, it would give a noble example to the thousands of brave men in Europe who await the day of the Pope's deliverance. :: I-2-j A.L.S.Mss. 4pp. 12mo.
