Excerpt from Alexander Gregg: First Bishop of Texas In a pastoral letter Of the 3oth Of January, 1861, Bishop Polk, of Louisiana, had expressed the principle involved in the secession Of his state as affecting the Diocese, taking the extreme position that we Ckurck must follow nationality; and by the mere force Of the secession Of the state of Louisiana, the Diocese of Louisiana was torn away from all ecclesiastical re lations and was isolated with respect to all other Dio ceses in the world.
