AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT OF ARCH
BISHOP wILLIAaS'S RECENT UTTERASCES.
B0SToN, December Am official state
ment has been made concerning the recent
utterances OF Archbishop Williams, OF this
diocese, made at recent meeting OF the
Catholic clergy Of Boston with regard to
Catholic schools. The Archbishop urged
that, whenever practicable, Catholic schools
should be established in every parish, and,
as far as possible, made equal to public
schools. They are regarded as practicable
where their establishment and support
would not create any serious financial en-
barraSSment or impose too gricvous bur-
den on the resources OF the faithful, and in
the absence OF suitable Catholic schools
parents who send their children to the pub
lie schools rather than to allow them to
grow up illiterate should make it matter
of conscience 10 take due precautions
against the dangers OF such schools, and
attend dlic emily to the instruction OF the
children in the Christian doctrine ont Of
school hours. In this connection the Arch
bishop read from the instructions sent to
bishops OF the United States through the
Roman Propaganda in document dated
November "a, 1875, and printed in some
papers in this country soon after its recep-
ton, considering the document in question,
and with reference to circumstances where
Catholic parents NAV, with safe conscience.
send their children to public schools, where
(the danger being made remotc) sufficient
cause exists, such cause would commonly
exist where there is no Catholic school at
band or where that which is accessible is
little suited TO educate the children proper
~ or suitably to their condition in life. The
Archbishop said:
sin case Of Il decided and persistent Diff
ference Of opinion arising between The pas
tor and parents as TO the sufficiency alleged,
the matter must be referred to the decision
OF the bishop, whose decision will govern
the conduct OF both pastor and parents,
who, for good and sufficient reasons, omit
to send their children to parochial schools,
but otherwise secure FOR them efficient re-
hgious instruction, may, il well disposed,
be admitted to SacramentS. No priest has
the right, save in the rare and exceptional
case of public scandaous sinners, to pub
licly refuse any of the sacramcnts OF the
Church to any Catholic reasonably apply
ing for the same. Accommodation as
also public denunciation OF individuals, or
designated classes, is strictly forbidden to
all priests OF the diocese in this as ia all
other cases."
