hOW The ACTION IN THE CASE
or FATHER M'GLyNS R
REGARDED.
1t was reported yesterday that the Rev. DR..
Edward McGlynn, pastor of st. Stephens Roman
Catholic Church, bad been deposed from his
prestly oftce In consequence of his political
activity In connection with the Henry George
Mayoralty campaign. This is not exactly trua.
DR.. McGlyna has not been silenced as yet, but he
has oeen summoned to Rome to explain certain
political utferances and acts Of his that have not
met the approval Of his immediate superiorsL
This assertion rests upon the authority Of Arch
bishop Corrigan. dispatch was received from
him yesterday by TaE TaIBUSr, stating why bs
did not permit ex-Judge A.kers funeral 10 be teld
in the Cathedral and alAo the fact that DIR. Mo.
G.ynn had been called to Rome. Tho dispatch
reads as follows:
NEw.HAvEN, Dec. o, 1886.
TO the Editor Of The rrt5mNS yeg-York.
Funeral from Cathedral denied because the
Judge and other managers refused even to consider
religious liberty correspondence with Board,

possible honors consequently from first church Of

Catholic doctrine, and their clerical advocate
summoned to Rome. N. A. CoRRIGAN.
Tho Archbishop went to New Haven yesterday
morning. and, it is said, will not return until next
Tuesday. 1t was ascertained from truttworthy
authority, however, that the clerical advocate "
referred to was the Rev. Dr. McGynn. The dis
patch summoning him to Rome was received dag
or two ago by the Archbishop aud he has already
informed DR.. McGlynn. The Rev. DR.. Mcdonnell,
the Arcbbshops private secretary declin Vi 70 give
any particulars Of the case, but gentleman who
holds intimate relations with Archbishop Corri-
gan said that this summons for Dr. McGlynn had
been expected for some time.
at was certain TO come" he added. "Why, tho
Doctor has taken the most extreme position on this
labor question. He has gone not only beyond the
limits of the Churchs doctrine but he Is ra.licai
even among the labor men, l should say. As he got
beyoud the control of his immediate directors
there was only one course left open for him, and
that was to explain his actions and beliefs at Rome
He was permitted to go on as long ~ 1t was pos
sible but vf course, he was bound to be called to
account sooner later"
The fact that DR.. McGiynn has been called to
Rome d ses not necessarily imply that he will be
silenced or even censured it is said. He may be
able to give such an explanation as will satisfy
the Pore entirely and receive no rehnks at ALI
But this s not thought probable. Priests are now
and then silenced for rreguiarity OF conduct,
but it is sci iom that one Is called TO Rome to
answer for holding doctrines that are not approved
by tho Church. For this reason it is thought thas
Dr. McGlynn will not return without censure OK
some kind.
The Pope has already declared the principles OF
the Knights of Labor not in harmony with the
teachings Of the Catholic Church. and Archbishop
Taschereau of Montreal. and other zealons Catho-
lie officials have started a warfare against the
order DIR. MEG. ynn is looked upon as one of tho
Knights warmest defenders and supporters
TROUBLE FEARED BY FATHER McGLYNN.
Dr. McGynn had full intimation q week ago
that Archbishop Corrgan intended to take
decisive action against him. A summary Of the
main points of long talk with Father McGlynu
on the poverty of the masses and the best means
to alleviate it was printed IN TUE TRIBUNE on
Nov ember 26 This was construed oy the Archi-
episcopal authorities as rejecting the teachings
of the Church and the utterances of Pope Leo
