IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PAPAL SEE
10 TIE AMERICAN BISHOPS.
.
The following il a translation of two Latin let
tiers of Cardinal Barllabo, perfect of the Propa-
ganda, to Archbishop spaldhg Of Baltimore in
reference to the council Now in session:
Most Elnstriaus Most Reverend Sit;
The bishops of the United States having been
prevented by public disturbances from holding
council in 1862, and having obtained permission
from our holy father to hold it now, nasmucl, es-
pecially the tempest of civil war being assuaged
It seemed proper that such matters should be
brought forward and discussed as might lead to
uniformity of discipline so far as that could be
obtained and to the greater advancement Of the
Catholic cause; and above all else, that remedies
might be applied to the evils which almost of me-
cessity arise from such serious disturbances, and
that proper means might be devised for attending
to the welfare of the emancipated blacks His
holiness was pleased that since the duty of calling
together and presiding over this synod CON-
mitted to your grace, certain particulars should
be pointed out to you by this sacred congregation
which either the institutes of this holy council or
the DEGREES of former synods commend among
others to the careful consideration of the bishops.
/. In the first place, therefore, the fathers will
bear in mind the encycliCal letter addressed to all
the bishops Of North America, on the 2lst of
January, 1861 lin which, besides the old rules laid
down by former councils, some new and excellent
regulations were adopted, IN ofder that the homl-
nations OF priests to vacant bishoprlcs might
prove in most cases wholly uDeXceptionabe. In
deed the fathers Of this sacred congregation Of
the propaganda have observed during the last few
years mat NE salutaTy faaes contained IN ,at G
ter, especially IN relation to sepdlng every thrd
year to the propaganda notices of the most de-
serving priests, the holding OF meetings for dis
cussing the merits OF Candidates and the proposed
method of inquiry for ascertaining their quaifica
tons, haze not always been observed. Neverthe-
less considering the rounies OF the liines, they
