Wynne, John J. (John Joseph), 1859-1948
Excerpt of letter from John J. Wynne to Eugene A. Philbin
John J. Wynne discusses the political views of Catholics in the United States. He praises President Roosevelt’s desire to be impartial to religion in his appointments, but worries about the anti-Catholic views of some of his appointees. Wynne wishes that Eugene A. Philbin could have attended the Fourth Annual Convention of the Federation of Catholic Societies in Detroit, and encloses a letter from one of his subscribers in Hawaii. Finally, Wynne states that he does not sympathize with the criticisms of Reverend John B. Worrall and believes that Cardinal Francesco Satolli should have been received with honor at Washington.

Letter from John J. Wynne to Eugene A. Phlibin
John J. Wynne believes that Americans are currently wary of Freemasonry due to exposure of the principles and tactics of Freemasonry in France. According to Wynne, the Masons in France are “destroying the very notion of liberty.” He thinks that President Roosevelt will not be overly happy about some of the remarks he makes about Roosevelt’s speech on Masonry.
