NO ACTION TAKEN
IN REFERENCE TO REMOVING THE BANS
FROM SECRET SOCIETIES
By the Catholic Church-Bishcp KAN Says the
Matter Was Not Observation-Disclosures Bishops
Statement

Since the meeting of the OaihOlic Con-
gress in Baltimore, last week, there has
been q great deal of controversy over that
body's alleged action in reference to dis
missing the ban from all secret societies
with the exception of the MasOns. Many
people are under the impression that such
action was really taken. A REGISTER re-
porter took occasion yesterday to inquire
of Ri Rev. Bishop Kahn if such action had
been taken at the recent meeting.
"No," answered the Bishop. "The
question ives not brought up aud therefore
no action was taken on it. Ode good rea-
son is that we have no Jurisdiction over
such matters"
A member of the lsity and delegate to
the Congress said:
81 was present at all the sessions of the
Congress and l am ceItsin the subject OF
secret societies was never broached IN the
meeting. We would have no jurisdiction
in such matter. Such TN order must have
been Issued from the Propaganda at Rome
There is simply no change in the position
of the Catholic Church toward secret
societies.n
In this connection the following state
ment of Bishop John s. Foley, of Detroit,
printed in the Baltimore Sun, will be Of
interest:
"Organiz atoms, " said he, "the members
of which are bound together for their own
welfare, and who have no secrets opposed
to religion, morality or state, are not only
not condemned, but really nourished and
fostered BY the Catholic Church. Toe one
thing that makes a eociety Objectionable
in the eyes Of the Catholic Church is when
a member il bound by oath to the perform
ancs of some act the nature Of which is m
known to him when be enters the associs-
ton. SO far as my information goes,
have no knowledge of the condemnation
By the O. tholic Church Of the societies
known M the Ancient Order OF Hib-r-
niOns. FOrresteis, Brotherhood OF Lo-
conceive Engineers, Uoiied Work
men, and similar benz fetal bSdiee.
I am Of the opinion that the feel
ing of the American hierarchy IL that
where the Catholic Church does not con-
denim beneficial societies whose ac's are
not opposed to moral or civil law indivld'
ual bishops will not Since the last Pile
nary counsel OF Baltimore, the bishops of
every diocese, whenever a doubt exists
with them regarding the standing OF
society, refer the matter to the archbishop
of the country, who examine the case and
in turn submit the question TO Rome.
should they have doubts as to the proprie-
ty of Catholics becoming members OF the
sOciei under investigation. When there
is no condemnation / cannot see why q
Catholic. after having consulted his pastor
in reference to the matter, niny not become
a member of an organization for the pro-
motion OF his individual welfare, always
bearing in mind, that he must never bind
himself TO any act against religion, moral
ity or state.n
