Letter from Michael J. Riordan to Theodore Roosevelt
Michael J. Riordan appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in “progressive Christianity,” and suggests that he use his influence to encourage the Young Men’s Christian Association to allow Catholics to hold directorships. He references Nevada senator Patrick L. Flanigan’s recent act of charity toward the organization, which he did even though as a Catholic he is unable to join.
