Father IIyaeInthe on Confession,

Father Hyacinthe has been lecturiug in
Paris on true and false Catholicism. AS
for the practice Of confession he admitted
that in certain circumstances it was OF a
purely moral and social utility. When
some blamable deed had been done, the
want was felt ofa friend to whom one could
freely open ones heart But there were
many things which one ought to say, but
which could not be said. There were Ger.
tain confidential communications which
would not strengthen the bonds Of friend
ship, but which would rather make a
breach between guilty and confiding
friend. There were things which wives
could not speak OF to their husbands. In
these cases the priest should be sought
alter, and the confession made to him
would be holy. Priests, however, should
be allowed to marry. There was no more
danger Of their imparting secrets to their
wives than was the case with doctors or
lawyers. Coniessors should not be young
men twenty-four years OF age. They
should be persons OF some experience and
knowledge OF the world. Nor should con-
lession ever be compulsory. 1t should be
left entirely to the wants and to the feel.
ings Of Christians. Above all, priests and
confessors should not be directors Of the
conscience OF men.
