Brooksiana: Or the Controversy Between Senator Brooks and Archbishop Hughes, Growing Out of the Recently Enacted Church Property Bill (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Brooksiana: Or the Controversy Between Senator Brooks and Archbishop Hughes, Growing Out of the Recently Enacted Church Property Bill

The evils which manifested themselves in these churches on a grand scale, were witnessed in a minor degree in almost every congregation throughout the country, under the government of lay trustees. The churches of this city were by no means ex empt from them; and some of our older Catholic inhabitants have witnessed, both in St. Peter's and in St. Patrick's, scenes of strife which they deplored, and which they would be ashamed to read in recorded detail.
