HYACINTHE's POsITION-wIIL He DE A LUTHER OR
SAvAEAROLA?
In the meantime, Father Hyacinthe continues to
live in his suburban home and to perform his offices
as priest oil the Catholic Church. Although under
the penalties OF the Church and forbidden to cele-
brate mass in any Catholic edihce, he insists upon
his prieStly character aud means to found church
here The principle OF marriage among the clergy,
for which he contends, and the personal accept
ance OF which on his part has made all this clamor,
is exciting unusual attention. and the bitterness OF
the war made upon HIM for entering into the mar
ried relation shows that the Catholic powers here
do not underrate his power or the Importance OF
hls cause. The prejudice against married clergy
is deep and inplacab @, and extends into all
classes. Even the scoifng mind of France of the
" ~ W n tnn a
bishop, Is scandalized by the marriage OF the
clergy. Those who hate the Catholic Cnurcn and
all churches welcome the act OF Hyacinthe as an
evidence OF the general immortality of the Church,
and appeal to 1t In evidence OF the corruption and
falsty oi religion generally. Nor can there be any
doubt that the bold step of Hyacinthe has injured
II not destroyed his influence as a reformer. His
act had personal meaning-a desire for personal
comfort or satslac tion-which suggested selfish
denial and abnegatlon which belong to reformcrs.
The extent OF this injury was seen at the Congress

want his counsel or his leadership. He had brought
into his life new and disturbing principle-a prn-
ciple that the champions OF reform did not well
come. The Old Catholics opposed the inallibility
posed to war against the Pope. Father Hyacinthe
began his secession in the same way but while the
Old Catholics confined their campaigns against the
Papacy TO their dogmas OF discipline and Church
government, Hyacinthe added the question
OF celibacy. The history OF reformation shows
that cellbacy was never welcome question to
the reiormers. Long after Elizabeth satisfied to

minds even now find a scandal in it. So that
