ROME, Wednesday, Dec. %, 1922.
DEAR BRETHREN Some of you, IA, least,
are aware that for years, doubts Of the valid.
ty of my Office as Bishop, have AT times har-
rassed my mind, and greatly enfeebled my
action. Al other times, it is true, circum-
stances have arisen to overrule these doubts,
and TO bring to my mind Temporary relief
But i, h,s been only temporary, for, in spite Of
resolutions 10 abandon the reading and the use
Of Catholic books in spite of earnest pray ers
and entrealies that God would protec, my
mind against the distressing influence Of
Catholic Truth; and in spite Of public and
private professions and declarations, which
in times Of suspended doubt sincerely made
TO shield myself from suspicion and win back
the confidence Of my diocese, which had
been well-nieh lost-ln spite Of all this, and
of many other considerations which would
rise up before me, as the necessary conse-
Quence of suffering my mind 10 be carried
forward in the direction in which my donbts
|
increased and almost ovcrw heming vigor,
goading me al times 10 the very borders ot
arrangement.
Under ihsse doubts, | desired temporary
relief from duties which had become so dis
quieting 10 me, and determined 10 accompa
ny Mrs. Ives, whose health demanded &
change OF climate, in short absence abroad
But absence has brought no relief 10 my mind
Indeed, the doubts that disturbed ii have
grown into clear and settled convictions /; 81

conscience and honor, and every obligation Il

touch that, believe it is brosen.' Iris, how
ever, it is hoped, is not the case. His face was
also badly bruised. The night was quite dark, and
the irreguerity in the pavement was not visible.
The Tribune of yesterday says his arm was not
broken. but he was severely bruised, and his left
shoulder dislocateL. Had he struck his right
shoulder, which has been badly wounded by a
