Don,

I believe that many historians gave up trying to find ties between the Catholic Church and the assassination because there was nothing solid. One gentleman told me that Pope Pius IX had enough to deal with in protecting his church from the strife swirling around him in Italy at the time.

I can't remember if Andy Jampoler included thoughts on this in his The Last Lincoln Conspirator, and there is also a very good book by Kenneth Zanca on the subject of the church and Mary Surratt. Both men have been speakers at Surratt conferences and both like to share information - when they have time. I know that Andy is already working on another book, which is not assassination oriented.
