Holy Cross Retreat, Ardoyne, Belfast; Dispute with Bishop McAllister:Letter from Fr. Thomas, Consultor General to Arthur Devine. Little to report. Propaganda had advised seeing bishop then in Rome, but he had gone too soon to see him. Thomas had found that Cardinal Simoni's secretary had done nothing but he (Secretary) believes the proposed meeting with bishop will settle matters. Thomas also thinks the bishop's last letter shows that finance is at the botom of the row. Bishop's limiting number of Passionists to those required for parish is indefensible.

Holy Cross Retreat, Ardoyne, Belfast; Dispute with Bishop McAllister: Copy(?) letter rrom Bishop McAllister to the Provincial, Fr.

Uses quite warlike metaphors. Bishop was at Stephen's funeral but did not set foot inside the house, Refers to bishop's ideas about us not being an order and that we are not in fact approved but only tolerated by the Church.
