Scope and Contents Barnabo has sent Kindekens' letter of Jan. 15, 1858, to the Superior General of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, so that he might answer about the subject of the above-mentioned letter.

In other days, business with the Holy See was conducted only in Latin or Italian. But now the Sacred Congregation receives letters in French, German, Dutch, etc. They wish hereafter that these documents be written in Latin or Italian. And since the use of Latin has declined, they urge the bishops to promote the study of that language as the bond of unity in the Church. Signed by Barnabo and Archbishop John Simeone as secretary. :: III-2-l Printed L.S. Latin 1p. 4to.

Scope and Contents He refers to a draft enclosed in Purcell's letter of February 6 in the name of the bishop of Detroit Peter Paul Lefevere which Barnabo presented to his Holiness in an audience of March 4 for which the apostolic Benediction is imparted. Moreover, it is quite agreeable to hasten the consecration of the bishop of Marquette Ignatius Mrak . He would be assured that he could look to helping the many necessities of that diocese already bereft of its pastor for many months. Father John Simeoni signs...

Scope and Contents Barnabo is gratified that these accusations sent to him were for the most, contrary to the truth. However, he deems it opportune to observe that if Metropolitans were to show themselves more inclined to admit and consider the complaints made to them by some against their Bishop, recourse might not so readily be had to this Sacred Congregation. When difficulties are not settled by those to whom they belong, the Sacred Congregation is compelled to lend a willing ear, owing to the deep concern...

Scope and Contents Barnabo received DeNeve's letter of the 11th, together with a letter from the Bishop of Louisville, Martin John Spalding and also signed by Lefevere in which they themselves and in the name of other bishops commend DeNeve and the American College to the Sacred Congregation. Barnabo wrote them without delay, but no other letter on the subject from the bishops of the United States has reached him and therefore, so far, he cannot answer the petitions of DeNeve or his predecessor because nothing...

Barnabo took the matter to the Holy Father in his audience of August 9; the Pope graciously assented that the students of the American College with DeNeve's dimissorial letters could be promoted to Orders outside of canonical time and without observing the interstices, and at the same time also grant the aforesaid students faculties, by which they can be admitted to...

Scope and Contents They had an excellent crossing in spite of the storms. They left New York October 11th and debarked the 22nd in Ireland. Baroux arrived in Paris on the 30th, and is resting a couple of weeks; afterwards he will begin to preach for his mission. As he has not preached in French for the last 3 years, his debut will be in small towns, and later in great centers, where offerings will be larger. He hopes to succeed but there will be disappointments and difficulties due to weather and fatigue....

Money collected 22827 francs, over $4000, 100 chasubles besides 400 volumes Baroux left for Notre Dame when he went to Bengal. Has anyone who has done so much in 3 years, been treated so scornfully as...

Scope and Contents In the Silver Jubilee Lyons published in 1869 and also in the Notre Dame Scholastic a few weeks ago, Baroux has been the victim of the most glaring ingratitude. On page 39 Lyons said that in 1849 the shops and kitchen were destroyed by fire and that Father Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. took measures to have the frame building replaced by a brick one built behind the church. Lyons gets rid, without scruple or shame, of a debt of gratitude. If Lyons does not know the measures Sorin took, Baroux will...

When Baroux came back to France in 1857 the Christian Brothers made a picture of it. No doubt Fathers Sorin and Saulnier will be glad to see the photograph.
