Bereik en inhoud
A pamphlet authored by a ‘priest’ referring to the stance taken by the Catholic Church in supporting the Free State administration, and denouncing Anti-Treaty Republicans, and refusing to administer the sacraments to irregulars. On 10 Oct. 1922, the Catholic Bishops of Ireland issued a formal Pastoral, describing the anti-treaty campaign as ‘a system of murder and assassination of the National forces without any legitimate authority …’. Published in [Glasgow: 1922].
