Dillon accused Hennessy of saying that Bishop William Walsh of Halifax had been involved in a scandal with a woman and her two nieces who came to Halifax with him. Bishop Walsh had been...

Scope and Contents A priest's greatest enemies are those of his own house. Although Hennessy had written to Ireland a most exaggerated account of the missions in order to hinder any "hankering" his family may have had about America, his father came unexpectedly last Saturday and accused him of ingratitude.

Scope and Contents Father W. Lockhart in his Life of Rosmini asserts in a note that Dr. Orestes A. Brownson towards the end of his life rejected the Philosophy of Gioberti and turned to that of Rosmini.
