The Dignity the Holy Father has Conferred
ON Rev. Fathsr De Conciiio.
The new Monsignor appointed by Leo
XIII, is the Rev. J, De Concilio. Rector
of st. Michael's Church, Jersey City. We
will take occasion from the present promo
ton to give an idea of this dignity and just
how it is obtained. Unless one follows q
certain course in Rome at the various
academies and takes his degrees there, no
priest outside of Rome can obtain that
title and honor of Monsignor except upon
the request and Recommendation of the
bishop Of the do ,ese where he belongs.
No amount of merit or influence can dis
pense with this necessary condition that the
bishop of the diocese where the priest be-
longs shall request the honor from the
Holy Father. This is as it should be. Be-

sides its being calculated to maintain the
proper discipline and subordination such
way Of proceeding is exceedingly prudent
and reasonable because none better than
the bishop of the diocese knows the merits
and qualifications of his priests, and none
therefore is better calculated to judge who
who is worthy of honor There are three
degrees of Monsignorship. But all con-
converge into the fact that it isfsimply an
honor and distinction conferred on priest.
No duties of any kind are attached to it,
nor does it give any ecclesiastical power or
jurisdiction. I'll priest honered with such
title has right to wear a purple cassock
and purple cape, varying more or less &C
coriing to his three degrees. There are not
many in the United States who have been
preferred to such title. As far rs we are
able to discover there are three in New
York, three in New Jersey, one in Cleve-
land, one in Maryland, one in South Caro-
lima and three in Massachusetts. The new
promotion has pleased the host of friends
whom Monsignor De Concilio has made in
New Jersey in the twenty-siz years that he
has been working among them, and the
pensioners of st. Michael are exceedingly
thankful TO the Right Rev. Bishop Wiggin
for having selected their pastor for such
