The Irish Schism Pastoral Letter Against Parnell
In Dublin on February 8 a Catholic pastoral letter denounced St Parnell and urged care in Bologne negotiations for a definite compromise the country will judge. Irish bishops opposed Harrington's appeal to National League branches to reorganize for elections and Walsh urged clerics to oppose Parnellite packing. Harrington said the circular mirrored annual League practice and sought aid for evicted tenants after his American tour collapse. He warned bishops against hastily taking sides. A Victim of the Lymph in Kansas City died after Dr Baum’s experimental treatment and coroner’s inquiry will follow.
