Lenten Pastoral Letter, signed by J Milner Vic Ap
Addresses the nature of a pamplet, and associated thinking, "Reflections addressed to the Rev J Hawkins" published in 1785 and in subsequent editions (e.g. "The Faith of Catholics" and "R. Catholic Princilples in Reference to God and the King").
"... You are fully sensible, Reverend Bretheren, that I should be deeply criminal, were I to permit such pretended Profession of Faith as the above-mentioned to be propogated in the flock committed to my care, without notice and opposition; accordingly I have (but under correction of the Holy See) two several times censured it in the manner above signified, and have required that it shoudl be torn down from the chapel walls where it might still remain, as I myself tore it down from the chapel of my present residence."
Provides further examples of anti-Catholic behaviours which ".. vilifies Popes, Saints and Martyrs..."
Final sentence: "If we are called upon for a mere test of civil allegience, no words can be devised more express for this purpose than those of the Oath we have taken: if more than civil allegience be required of us, we must sooner die that yield it."

Bishop Thomas Joseph Brown issued this instruction on mixed marriages as increasing numbers of Catholic-Protestant marriages were taking place in England and Wales. These caused concern to the Catholic clergy, as the Catholic partners may be influenced by their Protestant spouses and eventually abandon their faith.

This instruction provided guidance on how to handle mixed marriages. It emphasised the importance of preserving the Catholic faith in these marriages and urged Catholic partners to do all they could to ensure that their children were raised as Catholics.

The instruction also provided guidance on the proper way to celebrate mixed marriages, emphasizing the importance of obtaining a dispensation from the bishop and requiring the non-Catholic partner to sign a written agreement promising to respect the Catholic faith and to allow the Catholic partner to practice their religion.
