This series of communications discusses a dispute between the Catholic Church and the Philippine Independent Church over the right to perform mass at a church in Malabon. The Catholic bishop ordered that non-Catholics cannot observe the mass in this Catholic chapel. The priests refused to let the Philippine Independent Church perform the mass and withheld a sacred stone for the observance. Correspondence includes a lengthy piece of canon law regarding the ownership of public and private chapels or oratories.
