<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 251914, member: 121"]There are some documents in the New York Historical Society collection from whom ever was the Archbishop of NY to parish priests urging them to urge parishioners to have children because he was afraid that the donations to build St. Patrick's Cathedral would dry up without a new crop of "donors", as well as some proof that the church was undermining Jacob Reis in his quest to do away with the slum properties - because they were a major source of income for both the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches in NY. I can vouch that the Episcopal See owns/owned large (multiple block) properties in NY that are/were covered with tenements. Neither church ever owned the buildings, just the properties on long term lease.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
