Scope and Contents

He received the list of questions to be proposed at the council. The last clause of the circular has caused some uneasiness in his mind lest some question in reference to politics may be brought up. Considering the scandals brought by the unfortunate meddling of some clergymen in politics, Lefevere protests against mooting any question of this kind. He proposes that they forbid clergymen to take part in the political affairs of the country. He inquires about certain faculties. :: II-5-b A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
