Growth OF tho catholic Church.

The third Plenary Council, new in
session at Baltimore, ia made the oc'
casion tor calling attention to the re-
merkable growth Of the Catholic
Church in this country. In 1888
there were 26 priests, 10 churches
and 25,OOO Catholics in the United
States. In 1903 the number had In:
creased to 10 priests, 80 churches and
100000 Catholics. In 1852, when
the first Plenery Council was held in
Baltimore, the Catholic population
was 8 100000. The second Plenary
Council was held fourteen years later,
and at that council there were + arch
bishops and 81 bishops. At that time
the number of Catholics was estimated
to be 4,50o 600. Between the second
| council and the one now in session
the church has had a growth that il
simply marvellous. The present coun.
Gil is is compelled CT IL archbishopa' 81
bishops, IL procurators, mitred ab'
bots, supervisors Of theological semi
naries, etc, and about 100 priests o
minor degrees. TIE Catholic popu
la'ion of the country is placed a
9,OOO,OC0-by some writer's ct IL 600,
|OOO-the number Of churches is Owe
6 600 and the number of priests Ii
obout $685.. In Now York Stat
alone thers are about 100000 Catho
lies. The Catholic population is nc
however, confined to the thickly set
tied portions Of the country. In tb
sparaely settled territories they out
number any Protestant sect. In Ga ;,
kota they number 10000. while tn
largest Protestant sect-the Luthera
numte.s only 1000. In Montan
there are 10000 Catholics, who ou'
number any other Protestant sec
, there are only 5000. Even in Uta
3 their number is 1000, while of th
9 Methodist, the largest Protestas
b &c ct, there are only 500. The aim
the present PlenarY Council is to se
!. tie upon the means for governing th
i. vast and growing religious organiz
: tion. That it is we'll qualified for J
e work is generally admitted. 1T
