CATHOLIC CLrRgY.-The New York
Mirror says
"I'ho late Roman Catholic Council
in this city came to the conclusion
that the connection between the
church and their self-corsttuted ora
clos should be publicly severed aud
that. when an organ was to be reeog
pizod, it should be placed in charge of
competent theologians, and confined
within strict limits of theology. Such
sheets as The Freeman's journal, the
Celt, the Boston Pilot, the Irish Am
erlcan. and Brownson Review will,
under this decision, be seculariscd.'
How much better it would be for
Christianity every where If the clergy
had less to do with politics and news

politics, they rotrograde in religion.
