Scope and content
Fathers, Kimmage, +McQuaid and +Levame in relation to the possibility of Irish priests going to South America to do missionary work. The Sacred Consistorial Congregation is in support of this but +McQuaid feels that the sending isolated priests to work there is not a good idea. He has actively discouraged Irish boys from going to the College in Louvain as neither the framework nor formation suits the Irish. He feels it would be better if the mission could be organised through the Columban Fathers or the Society of St. Patrick, both of whom have experience in the missionary field.
