McQuaid did not expect the news he found in Corrigan's card of Christmas eve. Father Edward McGlynn was leading many young priests astray by his ability to fascinate them. If he will not yield to Rome then he steps out of the Church. McQuaid sends a copy of yesterday's Rochester "Democrat." The papers speak of Father Charles McCready going to St. Stephen's. He is the best one for that post. McGlynn has made friends for himself. He is hand in glove with Patrick Ford of the "Irish World" and the extreme Irish revolutionists. He has appealed to American prejudice on the public school and tries to make the working classes believe he is their special friend, but has driven off the more intelligent of his American sympathizers. Corrigan should hold no discussions with him or his friends. Nothing less than McGlynn's removal from the city will answer. McQuaid had a letter from Msgr. Denis J. O'Connell, who said the German and American University questions would come before the Sacred Congregation in January. McQuaid is undecided whether to hold the Synod in January or wait until Easter week. He cannot bring the Father James S. O'Sullivan case to an examination, as he requires the books of the church as a preliminary step. Here the case comes to a standstill. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 4pp. 12mo.
