Desperate Catholic Appeal to King Over Church and State
A frail plea in 1717 Rome letters urges the monarch to resist ministers urging colonial wars and defend the Catholic faith and Christian commonwealth. The letter warns of divine vengeance on advisers and urges restoration of the former order. Included are notices from Amsterdam and Vienna about military and political affairs, including troop movements, inaugurations, and public events.
