Fr. Feeney regularly warned the students at Harvard "not to become like their secular and atheistic professors, who were responsible for [inventions] such as the atom bomb," although he found this missionary work very discouraging and once said: "How can I convince Catholic students that they are losing their faith at Harvard when my own brothers in religion, (i.e. Jesuits) are getting degrees there?" He also accused the Catholic Boston College of having "lost the faith and teaching heresy, namely that salvation could be obtained outside the One True Church".
