Antonelli, Cardinal Giacomo, Rome, Italy, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 August 7
Scope and Contents
When the Holy Father Proclaimed the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, he had in mind that the usual modal be struck at the solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul to commemorate an event so precious to the Church and to Christianity. Because of unfortunate circumstances it is only this year that His Holiness has ordered that this silver medal be sent, with case, to each of the Bishops who were crowned in that ceremony. Since Blanc was present in the episcopal assembly, Antonelli sends the medal and takes the occasion to express his esteem. :: VI-1-k L.S. Italian 2pp. 4to.
