In New Zealand, Fr. Michael Kickham discovered an environment unfriendly to Irish priests. In 1888, he and 17 other Irish priests petitioned the Pope about this.
He was reprimanded by Bishop Grimes for his expressed nationalist views.
Following acrimonious correspondence with the Bishop, he got permission to serve in Australia.
He returned to Ireland in 1899. In 1901 he departed for an undisclosed destination. In 1907 the family discovered by chance that he was in Buenos Aires, no longer a priest. He died there in 1909.
Based on numerous letters, newspaper articles and extensive research.
