same Pledges or a.ion-The Judg-
men, In ITS Case Does Not of Itself Re
.,,rc Ills Followers TO the Church or
a.wit their Dead to Consecrntca Ground.
Anumber of prominent Catholic priests in
Ns archd!oceso were asked ty sun reporters
yesterday what they understood the tcrmsto
oon which Dr. McGlynn had been restored to
cool standing in the priesthood and in what
irhtthey regarded the proceeding.
Most Of thom were disnclined to talk about
,hs case AT all. None knew on what terms DR..
Y MrGynn had been received again into the
Cnorch. and nearly all acknowledged their
suunse. When thcy were asked II there had
ever been any similar case in tho history OF
,ha(atholic Church in this country, tho gen
Ii oral opirion was that there had not.
The Rev. Gabriel 4. liealy OF st. Demands
Church. on West Fourteenth street. said:
81 do not know OF any case similar to DR..
McGynn's. unless it was that OF Father Hogan
Of phi!aiel phia several years ago. But as
don't know anything about the details OF that
case can't even say how it turned out OF
COURSE it is not for mo o say whether the re-
installation Of an communicated PRIEST Is
good precedent to establish. In all things
concerning the Church itomo knows best. But
Rome is very fat from here. Archbishop Satolli
certainly has most extraordinary powers.
which we do not know anything about. but ho
slavery good man. and II very wise man. and
what he does is surely in accordance with tho
wishes OF the ropo. 1t is no doubt a very un-
usual thing for us to have delegate apostolic
sent to America. But whatever the lapal
ALLOCATE shall do will be for tho good of tho
Church. and man with full power to act can
dnb haiti
same power far away, Yet i Serins 20 me
that after all he has said nE Mc,ilynn should
be 1uired to make II rublic rctraction.. Ito
