Scope and Contents

In a letter marked "Private", Corrigan comments on the spoliation of Propaganda, calling attention to a strong protest by an Italian liberal who says he cannot understand how a government that legalizes houses of Prostitution can permit Houses of Christion piety and prayer. This liberal is quoted by De. Angelis: book 3, title 31, volume 2, part 2, page 93. Corrigan quotes him in detail, where he expresses regret over the Italian state's policies. In a post script Corrigan says that one "Bar Jona" is a priest but no bishop, that he was expelled from Propaganda, but later ordained at home. He was denie permission to collect by Corrigan, and later by Father John M. Farley, but he told Bishop Michael W. Wigger of Newark that he had such permission. Last week, or this week he pretended in the Diocese of Rochester to be a Bishop of this state N.Y.. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
