Scope and Contents Moulton, a non-Catholic, writes to Onahan in the hope that a concerted effort may be made to revise the style of writing in which non-Catholics are addressed. It is a human tendency to introduce bias in the study of history which is pronounced among Protestants since the results are in their favor. Catholic devotion is associated with a great diversity of outward objects. Protestantism, a gigantic conspiracy, tried to smash Catholic worship. Greater severities were practiced in defense than...

Mouret wrote to Blanc two years ago before leaving Detroit offering his services. Blanc's reply said that for the moment he did not need French priests but priests who could speak English. Mouret repeated his offer for...
