THE EXTENSION OF TIE REFORM MOVEMENT
to other lands is creating Joy among the Munich
workers. The late confessional revelations from
Austria painful as they are to all Catholics are
necessity, and promote the reform movement to q
great extent. That such abuses have existed Is
known to all; that these abuses must be removed is
| equally the determination OF all. The first result
OF the revelations the motion adopted by a con-
siderable majority OF the Communal Council OF
Linz to petition The Austrian Ministry for the intro
duction OF an additional paragraph TO the penal
code providing, as IN Germany, against the abuse
| OF the pulpit for political purposes This has been
brought about more especially perhaps, by the case
less tins additional penal paragraph will not purify
the confessional. The Austrian imperial speech,

TUE CLERGY OF ROMANO LANDS.
Professor huber remarked u few days ago very
truly That the Catholic reform movement has found
but few friends and promoters among the clergy OF
Romano lands. The most noticeable exception has
been the seven refOrmers OF madrid, whose pro.
gramme OF reform was published mere in the early
part OF December. The Secretary OF the Madrid

the old Catnohc movement IN Germany, and, IN re-

Spanish reform movement. One OF the chief Spanish
relormers, Antonio Aguayo who lately signed the
| appeal for q National Spanish Catholic Church, Is
about 10 make a missionary journey through Spain,
to disseminate the reform principles. Forty eight
priests OF the provinces nave already declared Tor
reform. The difficulties that the reormers WIN nave
| TO overcome are not concealed by AguayO, who
says:-"Ihe most lamentaDle ultramOntanism that
has Overrun our land has brought about the result,

THE MOVEMENT IN FRANCE.
The movement mas maze but little progress in
France. Huber says that one reason Is the
character OF the Tniers government, which looks

the only strongly organized one in the land, and
because this party obe,s the benests Of Rome, the
