Six Biddeford and Lewiston Catholics Interdicted by Bishop
Six prominent Roman Catholics from Biddeford and Lewiston face interdict from Bishop Louis P. Walsh of the Portland Diocese. The action follows a legislative push to abolish the diocese corporate sale, which would place church property under a Board of Directors. The interdicted individuals are Godfrey S. Dupre, Dr George Precourt, Dr Albert C. Maynard, Albert J. Deland, Alfred Bonneau, and John B. Couture. The decree, read in churches, bars them from receiving sacraments until they offer reparations for alleged acts against church authority. Catholic societies are warned they risk loss of rights if they cooperate.
