Scope and Contents

McQuaid sends a cutting to show that Clan-na-gael is not a dead body. This horrible society is divided into two factions. The more moderate met in New York last week presided over by Dr. Casey of Rochester, who finds a complacent confessor and makes sacrilegious Communions. The other faction is headed by A Sullivan of Chicago, who shot down a man in cold blood. Archbishop Patrick Feehan knows him well as he dines at the Archbishop's table. Nothing will be done as Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbishops Feehan, Peter Richard Kenrick, Patrick John Ryan, Patrick William Riordan, and John Ireland will permit no persecution of the Irish. There is little difference between the Clan-na-gael and the A.O.H. All these things will come out one of these days and the American Archbishops will not appear in a flattering light. Some think if the German element gets the upper hand, we would have braver and more Catholic legislation. :: I-1-i A.L.S. Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 2pp. 12mo.
