Schedule for the Synod of Northampton
Keating, William Frederick Rev (1859-1928)"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:
- Education of the poor
- Catholic schools
- Clerical education - good colleges abroad; support from individuals and organisations; but, more needs to be done locally
- The new Divorce Court - an evil to be deplored
- New Catechism has been approved
- Maintenance of peace following "the war upon the fair plains of Italy".
