Item 2/3/3/5 - 1741001 St. Paul of the Cross: Vision re England: 1896044 Caetanus Reinjders, C.P:

1741001 St. Paul of the Cross: Vision re England: 1896044 Caetanus Reinjders, C.P: carbon copy (much damaged) of a letter from Bonaventure Oberst, C.P., Consultor General, Rome to Fr. Gaetan(Caetanus) Reinjders, C.P., Tirlemont, in reply to his of 10.051935 (see item under serial number 3214). Bonaventiue & General have read letter for Egidio. He doesn't think E. will answer, since C. has ignored the proofs offered. B. is convinced E. is right and C. wrong on the point of the vision. It is here that Bonaventure indicates that it was in a footnote on p 64 of his book, "S. Paul De La Croix et L'Institut des Passionistes" that Caetanus states that the vision was apocraphyl. See copy of that book under serial number 6180). He goes on to cite some proofs, particularly the .MS of the introduction to Oratorian "Life", written at Aston Hall and now in Rome. He also quotes a letter of Ambrose P. de Lisle quoting Dominic' s own remarks. He asks C. to withdraw and not compromise the good work he has done to glorify our holy Founder. (NB. In view of the state of this copy, a clearer typed copy is attached.)
