Bishop McFaul Criticizes Administration's Treatment of Catholics
In an address to the Knights of Columbus, reported in the Catholic Mirror of June 16, Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, New Jersey, June 5, said:— The treatment we have received from the present national administration is simply outrageous. Should not the commissions to our new possessions have had several Catholic members? They alone could intelligently weigh and appreciate the religious condition of those countries, and suggest measures suitable for the adjustment of new civil conditions, so as to enlist the strong assistance of the religious element in the interest of peace, order, and good government. . . . It is scarcely possible to speak calmly of the injustice done our Indian schools. In view of this and the favor that has actually been shown to the Catholic Church by the present administration, it is perfectly plain that, as ever, Rome can never be satisfied with anything less than all of everything.
