Statement Of n New York Papar-Dr.
DIcGiynn Is Going Also to Reopen Ills
Case.
New YoRK, July 1s-The Press says.
Archbishop Corrigan is going to Rome in
October. This announcement is made ON
absolute authority, and viii be seen to have
Important significance. For long time, it
is said, there has been feeling In Rome
that the advancement of Archbishop Cor
rigan from the unimportant see Of Newark
10 the metropolitan see Of New York was not
the wisest act the church authorities have
perforned In recent years. When a student
in Rome, Archbishop Corrigan gave promise
Of becoming a good leader and an excellent
aactioian. and his advancement TO an i'm
portant ses was predicted. His adminlstra-
tfan OF the diocese Of Newark did not en-
tirely realize these hopes. His appointments
10 the archiepiscopal see Of New York was a
surprise 70 every one II is a matter Of his
tory among the Catholic clergy that Car
dinal McCioskey was as much panied as sur
pri sesiiwhen the name Of his coadju1or and
probable successor was made known
"weli, God help New York; was his
pious comment
Since Bishop Corrigans arrival here there
has been opposition TO his diocesan policy
and personal activity on the part Of the
clergy of tho diocese. From the beginning
a large number formally paid the respect
due the head of the diocese and In no way
have sought 10 become familiar o5 even
friendly with their superior.
Ordered 10 Rome
Things have gone on In this unsatisfactory
way until the authorities in Rome have II IL
said, decided thai IL was tiae u interfere,
and the archbishop has received orders to re-
port to the propaganda In Rome. This In
stitution is a council or college q eceaesias-
tics exercising authority over church mat

body bis grace Archbishop Corrignn must
renderan account Of his stewardship
The BeEinning Of the rpoabEe.
This denouement has been pFecipitated by
recent events in the diocese. When the Cath
olc university was projected ArehMshop
Corrigan heartily mlorsed the scheme
Afterward, through pique vt the position as
sumed by Cardinal Gibbons. he withdrew
from the management The feeling created
by this act in Rome can be judged from the
fact that Bishop Keane, head of the uni
versity, on his arrival from the vatican, did
not visit the archbishop, but took up his resi-
dcnce while IN the city with the Paulist
fathers. The same conduct toward Arch
bishop Corrigan was repeated when Bishop
Keane was IN the city q few weeks ago and
made the snub unmlstasable. The Maguire
case, where burial in consecrated ground
was denied, although the dead man had con-
formed 10 all the requirements &c tho church,
caused widespread comment among the
Catholic clergy.
The Proposed New York Seminary.
Again, although there was a seminary for
the diocese at Troy, the archbishop wished To
leave a monument Of his zeal for the propa-
cation Of tha faith by building another semi
nary in the immediate vicinity Of this city,
and preparations were made to that end

Others of the clergy wers associated with

William X. Grace and other laymen to pro-
cure a site. The sum of S25 900 was raised
toward defraying the cost OF the new semi
nary. which was TO cost s400, 600 and tho
archbishop subscribed $4,000 Of this amount
himself But the project was nipped IN the
bud by an order from Rome TO drop the semi
nary until the new university at Washington
was built. II is certain, say those who ought
70 know, that the archb shop is not in favor
with his ecclesiastical superiors
Dr. McGlynn win Go. Too.
About the time Archbishop Corrigan starts
for Rome another prominent figure in the
Catholic clerical world will start in the same
direction. The Rev. DR.. McGlynn in the
fall will also 20 70 Europe. This is all any
Of the doctors friends viii now say. There
is every reason 20 believe, however, that, en-
ceuraged by the recent decision in the Nc
Quaiu Lambert case, the friends of Dr. Nc
Giynn will reopen his cass before the Propa-
ganda. Rev Dr. Burtsel, the best author
