The Nuncio is seeking the immediate advice of the Irish Bishops in relation to this. Fr.

The American Hierarchy disapprove of his remarks and actions. Also handwritten reply from +McQuaid stating that Fr. Lodge Curran has spoken, without his permission, in the Diocese on previous occasions. He adds a great deal depends on the time of the visit and on the preparatory propaganda. He will object to Fr.
