Item 22 - Archbishop Ireland, U.S.A. as statesman and theologian supports I. Revolt against tyranny. II. Government by Republic

The pamphlet comprises extracts taken from a ‘discourse at the Third Council of Baltimore, by Dr. John Ireland, late Archbishop of St. Paul, 10th November 1884’. Rev. Edmond O’Shea, Philadelphia, contends that the principles contained in Dr. Ireland’s speech offer a ‘full vindication by America’s foremost Statesman and Theologian of the Irish Republic proclaimed by Padraig Pearse and the Men of Easter Week, 1916, and ratified by Plebiscite of the Irish People, December 28th, 1918’.
