MORRISTOWNsI ITENlSs WEDNESDAY, FEBRU RUARY 49, 1884
DIVORCED
ACCORDING TO THE, LAWS, OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURcH-THE PARTIES
-sDa WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE 6s,e
DECREE -

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Feb. 4 .--At st
Johns Catholic church, this morn
! ing, the pastor, Rev. Father Mori-
arity; announced the decision oi
Bishop McMierney, l.annulling the
marriage of Elmer Riyest and Miss
| Anna La Fronier, which was per-
ormed on December 26th, by Mag
istrate Quay. Father =, Morarity
said that the sineerest sympathy, is
| felt with the unfortunate young
lady, and that no blame rests upon
her, she being the victim of bad adj
vice. Father Moriarity, in CONVEX
sation, said: "This is an extremely
sad case, but the laws of the church
are rigid. Nothing is stricter than
our laws regulating marriage, and
the church has never made an ex-
ception to them in favor of any per-
son. Henry VIII. pleaded with the
Pope in vain to have his marriage
with Queen Catherine, annulled.
Had the Pope granted his request
England might have been saved to
the church and be a Catholic coun-
try to-day. The church preferred
to lose a kingdom rather than alter
one iota Of its laws. . So, too, Napo-
leon 1, 1abored earnestly and almost
savagely to get the Pope to annul
the marriage of his brother. J erome
Bonaparte with Miss Patterson.
After q person is once married ac
cording to ecclesiastical law, such
person can never marry again SO
long as the partner livss.''91 9aI
n' s'If Mr.. Rivest and Miss La From
ier live together will they cease to
be members of the church ?579if II
ltl"In that case they will be living
in sin and cannot receive the sacra-
ment. Butsas they have been led
to the by a man representing
the church, | do not think they will
be exeommunicated.',aq o.I0 ~
lltMonsignor Quay says that Rivr
est told him he was married when
he was drunk by a, Protestant min
ister.a Ihave learned that he was
married by Father Smith, of the
Catholic church at Fultony Mon
signor Quay exceeded his authority
and defed the Bishop by. consent
ing to marry the couple until the
Bishop had investigated the facts.
81 have nothing to say" said Mr..
Rivest to reporter, except that
Miss La Fronier and l were legally
married. The bans We're published
and the ceremony was performed in
the church. [ don't wish to defy
the church, but we will probably
live together Ell. r-a.V
Since the decision of the Bishop
Mr.. Quay has resigned and gone to
Rome, The Bishops decision will
be laid before the Pope and an ap-
peal will be. taken, s7 h a5r 49,,

the Governor to suppress the law

100000, OF which only SIS, ,673. 900 is ex-
