T E Burns (Editor) to Bishop Clark advising him that a piece on Downham Market will be in The Tablet Notebook that week. "Since writing it, I have discovered that Downham Market is also the headquarters of the Counter Reform goings on of the Abbe Nantes, etc. etc. so perhaps Fr Baker is something rather different from the 'exemplary and devoted priest' that I depicted."
Mention that the CTS reissue of "Apostolicae Curea" is causing a convert some distress; the Bishop had written to him to say that such discussions should be available.

"For the third time we have the consolation of addressing you in a joint synodical letter." An increase in representation of religious orders, ancient and recent, a great encouragement to see these. New churches have arisen to replace old and wretched Chapels; schools have multiplied and enlarged; convents accommodate retreats; the zeal of all Catholics.
Work is not yet complete, in securing religious support and services; three issues:

  • securing similar services for the Catholics in the Fleet, to those available in the army.
  • Catholic prisoners to be on the same footing as protestant prisoners in access to religious support.
  • Similar justice for the wretched inmates of the workhouse.

Other major areas for work/improvement are:

  1. Education of the poor
  2. Catholic schools
  3. Clerical education - good colleges abroad; support from individuals and organisations; but, more needs to be done locally
  4. The new Divorce Court - an evil to be deplored
  5. New Catechism has been approved
  6. Maintenance of peace following "the war upon the fair plains of Italy".
