 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-b

Scope and Contents

Father Urban explains that since he is in Bohemia he hears nothing of American religious or political affairs and so he wishes the Freeman's Journal sent to him. He will be unable to pay for the paper in the usual way. Instead he will remember McMaster in his Mass intentions, which he explains are very few. In administering the 3rd parish his monthly salary is $12.00 and stole rights are delivered to the fondus religionis whish is a state institution. Despite the scarcity of priests in his diocese he has very few intentions and so he would appreciate it if McMaster could find him some in America. Austria needs freedom of the Church and schools since their schools are of the same type as free state schools in America. Jews and infidels are hired as teachers. The text books contain no word of the religion of Jesus Christ. Priests are only allowed to teach catechism and Bible history. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
