Raffaele De Pierro writes to Theodore Roosevelt about a recent interview Roosevelt had with Peppino Garibaldi. While some Italian Catholic priests have sought to use this interview to present the view that all of them are good, De Pierro, as a pastor of Italian Protestants, provides some examples of priests working for their own benefit and not necessarily that of their communities.
