Scope and Contents He has received Corrigan's letter of Dec. 27 McQuaid proposes to go to New York next week, before Corrigan leaves for Rome. It is the best thing Corrigan can do. Corrigan will find Cardinal Mazzella a friend. He should try to get Msgr. Boccali on his side. Bishop Patrick Anthony Ludden was in Rochester. He seems that 40 or 50 parishioners have asked him to remove Father James L. Meagher. Ludden declined to interfere because Meagher would appeal to Rome and Ludden would be defeated. In...

Scope and Contents In looking over the letters returned by Corrigan he finds that the letters of the Propaganda and Father Louis A. Lambert's act of submission are wanting. These in particular are what McQuaid needs. No word from Rome as yet. McQuaid will be in New York Tuesday or Wednesday. Has Corrigan seen the copy of the Propaganda letter to Archbishop Patrick William Riordan of San Francisco in re Father James Edward Quigley . McQuaid wonders if they know at Propaganda that Quigley is a cousin of...

Scope and Contents He has received Corrigan's letter of April 22. Corrigan is now to be put on a gridiron and broiled just as McQuaid was. Sending this simple case of insubordination of Father Richard E. Burtsell to a General Congregation is making government of the Church in America impossible. To force Corrigan to keep Burtsell in New York City instead of Roundout is practically to condemn Corrigan. In Corrigan's defeat, and it will be unless Burtsell goes to Roundout, all the Bishops in the country...

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...

Scope and Contents McQuaid read in the Sun Father James T. Curran's insolent interview. If Corrigan is to rule his diocese, he must have the necessary power to inflict discipline on recalcitrant priests. The newspaper say Father Richard Lalor Burtsell was suspended and removed from Epiphany. If Corrigan can crush this rebellion by the Father Edward McGlynn faction, he will have won a great battle. Corrigan must send newspapers to the Propaganda, Cardinals Gibbons, Howard, Masella, to Bishops Persico,...

Scope and Contents McQuaid arrived in Rome on the 5th. He has seen no one yet, except Ella B. Edes. He has received a number of slips including those concerning the McGuire case. Corrigan should send the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony. McQuaid intends to take up this subject first of all. He has Father Edward McGlynn's speech at the anti-poverty meeting. This amounts to nothing. In it there is language against the Church and its authorities and teachings. If McQuaid doesn't get...

Scope and Contents McQuaid is still waiting for the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony in the McGuire case. Cardinal John Simeoni is timorous to a frightful degree. Burtsell has avowed himself friend and counsel of Father Edward McGlynn. Burtsell said McGuire did no wrong in attending the Anti-Poverty meetings. McQuaid now feels that it is Corrigan's duty to forbid Catholics to be present at these meetings, and make it a reserved case. McQuaid advises Corrigan to prepare a letter instancing...

Scope and Contents McQuaid met Archbishop Joseph Duhamel of Ottawa. Duhamel let out that Rome proposed to establish a sort of ecclesiastical court, headed by Cardinal James Gibbons, to hear and decide all ecclesiastical cases, except money ones. This week McQuaid will take up the Father Richard L. Burtsell case. The telegraphic despatches mention Corrigan's pastoral of Sunday. The rector here thinks Corrigan should have allowed the Father Edward McGlynn business to die of itself, but McQuaid told him...

In Borden's "Miniature Lives of the Saints" there is the legend relating how St. Brigid came to be called "the Mary of Erin". The expression "Mary of Erin" would lead people to think the nun of Kildare fills for her country the office of patronage, mediatorship and mothership which Mary occupies for the rest of nations. This is false. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents

She is rather disappointed in the subject that Father wants her to write for the Ave Maria. She would like to write a few columns in the magazine of some special book reviews that she has on hand.

Scope and Contents Since he is called the Mentor of the Catholic Press in America, she addresses him in that capacity and offers her suggestions as to how the Catholic Press could be made more effective and influential. She thinks that women should be given a place in the editorial field because they could handle the small details leaving the men free to work on the important tasks. She commends this idea to his judgment, and if he finds it acceptable she would be glad to be a contributor. :: I-2-a A.L.S....

Scope and Contents She is sorry that she had to conclude "Our Lady's Work" without the particulars of several cures which she had intended to include. In order to conform with Notre Dame's policy of no publicity for Our Lady's miraculous work at Notre Dame she had to abridge the last part of the story. She believes that Notre Dame is overly modest in this regard. If the leading institutions in the nation brush off this responsibility where are the lay people to look for guidance? She refers to "ex votos"...

Scope and Contents She thanks Hudson for his letter and enclosure. She tries to change Hudson's passive attitude toward her story about the litanies by showing that this devotion has the approbation of the bishops. She reminds him that his lack of enthusiasm toward this new feature may be due to the severe mortifications to which he has been put. She believes that "Litanies" offer a great field for action. When her aunt was sick she had a good example of the narrow-mindedness of some priests and...

She tells of material she was collecting,...
