"L", Waterloo, New York?, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1875 March 22
Scope and Contents
"L" had read an interview between a Catholic priest and a New York Sunday Herald reporter and wonders if any Catholic priest could make such statements. "L" is astonished that priests cannot be so trusted and the "liberal Catholics" exist in America. There has been so much heretical shifting in England and Germany. America should not follow the same path. The "nest" is New York must be forced to take sides and not occupy an equivocal position. Such priests who have the pens of the reporters at their service, are playing havoc and should be forbidden to continue. In the fight for principles we cannot afford to be betrayed on all sides. "L" says he is a priest of the Catholic church and would die for his faith but until he hears certain voices stating the policy and action of the church, he will disgustfully throw down his pen and remain silent. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
