Scope and Contents Charbonnel desires to finish his career as a missionary bishop rather than as a bishop of any other see in the world. New Orleans seems to demand a combination of prudence and supernatural folly. If the pope tells him to go to Blanc, Charbonnel will come. It is not difficult for him to preach in English; it is in the confessional and in administration that English fails him. He leaves for Rome where he will meet four of his colleagues on business involving $27,310 concerning several Canadian...

Scope and Contents Humanly speaking, Charbonnel is very flattered by Blanc's offer. He would accept gladly if he would not succeed Blanc under ordinary provisions. To represent Blanc would be a great human comfort. In his first year Charbonnel asked for a coadjutor; he was refused three times. At the following provincial council he obtained two subdivisions of the diocese and he has just obtained the promise of a coadjutor, especially because of his insufficiency in English. It is up to Charbonnel to find one....

Scope and Contents May God give Blanc fifteen more years of strength and energy so that if God wills it Charbonnel can come. He would be very much attracted to being Blanc's coadjutor were it not for the difficulty of the English language; it is the principal reason that Charbonnel wants a coadjutor. Rome knows his affairs. Charbonnel wants to belong to a Capuchin monastery and his episcopal experience would make him a valuable aid to some aged bishop, not in administrative matters, but ceremonially. He would...

Scope and Contents As the impediment of clandestinity does not exist in Upper Canada Blanc's person is very legitimately married with the divorcée and cannot take another while she is living. Their Canadians, are very immoral and ignorant. Many come here from Lower Canada to become their disgrace. Upper Canada consists of four counties in the Diocese of Bytown on the right bank of the Ottowa in the dioceses of Kingston and Toronto. The latter has finally been subdivided into two new dioceses, Hamilton and...

Scope and Contents It is good to have Blanc's thought for this young brother of Toronto. Charbonnel followed Blanc to Rome and knew that Blanc had returned. Charbonnel is waiting for the bulls asked for over a year ago for two young bishops of whom one will be at Hamilton and the other at London . The work of the definition of the Immaculate Conception has slowed up this affair which was concluded at Propaganda only last May 7.

He sends regards to Father Rousselon and Blanc's amiable...

Scope and Contents A sudden trip deprived him of receiving Blanc's two letters of the 2nd and 9th on time. Whatever the success of Father Bernard O'Hara, Charbonnel cannot help sighing profoundly over his ministry. His refusal to follow his advice made Charbonnel write to Archbishop John Baptist Purcell who is about to leave the country, to revoke his public functions and to have him go to make a retreat. Charbonnel will never employ him at Toronto; his conduct at Toronto is more than Charbonnel can write. As...

But as Rome had not yet...

Scope and Contents He thought many times of writing to Blanc when his city was plunged into mourning. At last Blanc has come out of this terrible fever and the cholera which followed it. It is time for Charbonnel to disclose the one for whom he sent in sealed letters, whom he wished to spare as much as he could, and who ended by refusing what Charbonnel had asked of him for his honor and that of the Church. He is nothing less than a monster worthy of all the penitentiaries of the world. He promised to bury...
