Excerpt from Pastoral Letter of the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore: The Archbishops and Bishops of the United States, in Plenary Council Assembled to the Clergy and Laity of Their Charge After the lapse of more than fourteen years it has again been permitted us to assemble in Plenary Council, for the purpose of more effectually uniting our efforts for the promotion of the great Object of our ministry - the advancement of the interests of the Church of God. God, indeed, needs not human agency, although He vouchsafes to employ it. As in assuming our nature our Divine Redeemer sub jected Himself to its conditions, and was made like unto us, sin only excepted;1 so He has willed that in the establishment and maintenance of'his Church, human agency should be employed, and the means best adapted-for the attainment of its great end should be selected.
