President Roosevelt weighs Bellamy Catholic cabinet fit
The president outlines how Bellamy's Catholic faith could influence a cabinet post and argues for a Catholic in the cabinet if possible. He prefers a Pacific Slope naval secretary and stresses the need for leaders in touch with the people while noting New England representation. He criticizes the current cabinet for lacking a strong political leader to explain policies and claims he might send Bellamy to Italy or Germany depending on appointments, but expresses uncertainty about Bellamy’s future and notes Porter's strong France tenure. The message also references a Pope communication and denial of authorizing statements to the Pope.
