He only wishes to do God's Will as expressed by Superiors: sees no reason for return to Rome. Has made an exact study of the processes.

Bonaventure Obsert, C.P., Rome: G. has no objection to any CP translating his books. into English. The "Life" (of St. Paul of the Cross) won't be out until Spring of 1936. He sends 10 copies of "Recrutement "," to Fr General. He encloses a reply for Fr Egidio, re St Paul's vision re England.

1741001 St. Paul of the Cross: Vision re England: 1896044 Caetanus Reinjders, C.P: carbon copy (much damaged) of a letter from Bonaventure Oberst, C.P., Consultor General, Rome to Fr. Gaetan(Caetanus) Reinjders, C.P., Tirlemont, in reply to his of 10.051935 (see item under serial number 3214). Bonaventiue & General have read letter for Egidio. He doesn't think E. will answer, since C. has ignored the proofs offered. B. is convinced E. is right and C. wrong on the point of the vision. It is here that Bonaventure indicates that it was in a footnote on p 64 of his book, "S. Paul De La Croix et L'Institut des Passionistes" that Caetanus states that the vision was apocraphyl. See copy of that book under serial number 6180). He goes on to cite some proofs, particularly the .MS of the introduction to Oratorian "Life", written at Aston Hall and now in Rome. He also quotes a letter of Ambrose P. de Lisle quoting Dominic' s own remarks. He asks C. to withdraw and not compromise the good work he has done to glorify our holy Founder. (NB. In view of the state of this copy, a clearer typed copy is attached.)

G. comments that a book on the Supernatural gifts of Holy Founder would be interesting. He has already gather material for such a book. After the "Life" he plans 4 vols. on Holy Founder's virtues. He finds it a delicate task to steer a course between Fr Egidio's 'credulity' and the Bollandists'* severity, (the latter have already criticised what he said in Oration et Ascenion Mystique). Encloses letter for Fr Egidio: will Consultor and Fr General read it, and give it to Egidio? He has sent book to Osmund (Thorpe) in Australia.

• John van Bolland, S.J., (1596-1665), founder of the Bollandists. He was a Flemish scholar who undertook an accurate historical investigation and presentation of the lives of the saints, an area which at that time was full of legend, myth and edifying stories. He and the scholars who worked with him and after him, following the church calendar, had worked their way down to mid-October by the time of the suppression, and publish their findings in the 53 volumes of the first series of Acta Sanctorum. The work resumed after the restoration of the society with ever increasing accuracy of method. The name Bollandists is now given to the Jesuit editors of Acta Sanctorum. They never number more than half a dozen and are one of the most learned group of men. Printout from webpage on John van Bolland attached

1741001 St. Paul of the Cross: Vision re England: 1866044 Caietanus Reijnders, C.P. MS: Fr. Gaetan, C.P, , to Fr. Bonaventure Obsert, C.P., Rome: G. refers to accounts of our HF's vision of his children in Ingleterra (England). He says this is not mentioned in the Processes. It first appears in BId Dominic's Preface to the Oratorian Life, (see 6-7 of Life of St. Paul of the Cross Vol. 1, under serial no 3388) and then in Fr Pius' Devine's "Life" (see The Life of St. Paul of the Cross by Pius Devine pp 413-414, under serial no.3391). This statement has evidently been criticized by Fr. Egidio (Postulator). G. will not retract what he has written unless proved wrong. Quotes in support of his integrity fact that USA Carmelite nuns have translated his book and that Edmund Burke has been asked by his Provincial to do likewise.
