ment that in manY of the States we are not
as vet permitted legally, to make those ar
ra,Ivenents for the security of church prop
erty, which are in accordance with the
canons and discipline of the Catholic
Church. In some Of the States we CRATE

the cIerSy. cemeteries, or school-houses,

| nrivinO her of n necessary means of pro-
1nrotinS the end for which she has been
established. We are aware of the alleged
grounds for this refusal to recognize the
| Church in her corporate capacity! on
| the condition, that in the matter of the
tenure of ecclesiastical property, she CON
| form TO the general laws providing for this
| object. These laws, however, are for the
| most mart based on principles which she
cannon accent. without departing from her
practice from the beginning, as soon as she
was nermitted to enjoy liberty of worship.
| They are the expression of distrust of
i ecclesiastical power, as such; and are the
fruit of the MISREPRESENTATION which have
heen made of the action of the Church in
mast aOes. As well might the civil power
prescribe to her the doctrines shei is to teach
and the worship with which she is to honor
God, as to impose on her system OF hold

AID FOR THE POPE
When last assembled in Plenary COun-
cil. we called on YOU to aid the Holy
Father. .ibv vour contributions, and yor
generously responded to our appeal. Since
, then the richest and most fertile portions
! lof the States Of the Church have been
!, wrested from him by the hands OF violence
! and his position has become still more crit.
J ical and embarrassed, In order to enable
!, him to assist those who are dependent or
,, him, and to carry on the affairs OF the Uni.
yersslT Church, it is absolutely necessary
that the children of the Church in all part:
= : of the world should come to his help. W.
have therefore felt it to be our duty to di
! rect that an annual collection be hencefortt
\ taken up in all the dioceses In the country
: ON the Sunday within the Octave of the
= | Feast of IS. Peter and Paul, or such other
l Sunday as the ordinary may direct, to be
devoted TO this purpose.
J we need not remind you that the obliga

great eXnenses in tlischarging the duties o
