FATHER o'KEEFE's FIGHT.
LONDON. June THE case of the Rev.
Father O'Keefe, formerly parish priest of
Callan, has been at last settled. As parish
priest, Father O'Keefe was ruler of the
parochial school at Callan, which was mn
der the charge of the National Education
Board and received National grant. He
got into a dispute with his Bishop, and
after long controversy fatty refused to
obey the orders of the latter. The Bishop
then suspended him. O'Keefe appealed to
Cardinal Cullen, and the Cardinal sus-
tanned the Bishop. He then appealed to
Rome. and Rome sustained the Cardinal.
Meanwhile Okeefe had also appealed to
The Education Board to prevent his re.
moval, not as a priest but as manager of
the parish school.
Tie Board held it was necessary for the
Priest and Bishop to be in harmony, and
they could not sustain him as against his
Bishop. O'Keefe then brought suit against
The Board, Bishop and Cardinal for restitu-
ton of what lie considered to be his rights,
but the Courts decided against him. Tie
eases have been going on for several years.
