Excerpt from The Nun of Kenmare: An Autobiography Holy Father: - It is with great grief and regret that I address this letter to your Holiness. I am obliged to resign into your hands the Office to which you were pleased to appoint me, and to leave to others the work of the Order of Peace which your Holiness has authorized me to establish. I have not taken this step without long and careful consideration, for I see every day more and more the necessity of such work as this for Working Girls. They have been indeed the great support of the Roman Catholic Church, and they deserve all that can be done for their comfort and encouragement. But I have found such opposition to this work, which I so dearly love, from certain bishops whose influence is so powerful that other bishops do not like to support what they disapprove, even though it has the sanction of your Holiness, that I am obliged to retire from it.
