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.
