Spalding sympathizes deeply with the chief object of the proposed union; but he seriously doubts such a Union would promote the end intended, at least any better than the methods hitherto pursued—of Diocesan Peter-Pence associations, collections, etc. He also fears such a Union would be unwieldy unless it could be grafted onto one of the already existing...
