Dublin and London Catholic endowments debate spurs defence group
A Dublin based Central Protestant Defence Association faces coordinated opposition from a London committee aimed at countering the Libera tion Society. Bishop O Brien urges clergy to educate laity on church history and endowments, with a proposed February Dublin meeting and an imminent large London gathering. The Freeman's Journal criticizes Protestant missions and cites financial figures and church-endowment arguments across Tuam Killala and Achonry, alleging misrepresentations and urging scrutiny of missionary activities and costs.
