Excerpt of letter from John J. Wynne to Eugene A. Philbin

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 Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt asks Secretary of War Taft to consult with Cardinal Francesco Satolli about appointing Archbishop J. J. Harty to succeed Bishop Giovanni Battista Guidi in the Philippines. Roosevelt also suggests that Taft make it clear to Satolli that the Catholic Church’s influence in the Philippines would be greatly diminished if the island gains its independence, and that Catholics who vote for the Democrat Party should be mindful that their vote could mean the triumph of the Agilpayan Church. Roosevelt requests, moreover, that Satolli consider making a Polish-American priest from Buffalo, Father John Pitass, vicar-general.

Letter from Bellamy Storer to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Bellamy Storer to Theodore Roosevelt

Bellamy Storer writes to President Roosevelt asking him to consider the facts, which Storer has enclosed as a statement of points, regarding his dismissal from diplomatic service. The dismissal was based on the grounds that both Storer’s conduct, in his capacity as an American ambassador, and his wife Maria Longworth Storer’s conduct in Rome, blurred the lines of public office and personal opinion regarding the promotion of Archbishop John Ireland to Cardinal. Storer defends his actions, including full and partial correspondence between those chiefly involved, to prove that he was acting in his public capacity at the request of President Roosevelt, which Roosevelt now denies. Storer is aggrieved that he was dismissed before his letter of resignation could have reached Washington since he was on leave in Egypt at the time he received Roosevelt’s request for his resignation.

Taft, formerly Governor-General of the Philippines, takes a commission to The Holy See to seek solutions to these problems in common interest. Issues of land ownership and the establishment of a school system are negotiated successfully by Taft’s commission in the Philippines.
