Item 5/2/1/36 - Holy Cross Retreat: Ardoyne; Belfast: Dispute with Bishop McAllister.

Letter

Holy Cross Retreat: Ardoyne; Belfast: Dispute with Bishop McAllister. Letter from Fr Thomas, Consultor General, Rome, to Fr Arthur Devine, Highgate, London, acknowledging Arthur's of 23rd Nov. (copy of that letter is not extant in these archives). It's tone dishearten 's Thomas. We have to make some concessions, otherwise Bishop has stolen a march on us.
Fact we bought and paid for site is important, but if church is built on it we can't sell it or till it or ground-rent it. Also the reference to Bishop Dorrian slipping in his signature as a trustee could have been put better. Even if we won a case, the Sacred Congregation would not enforce it.
