Misleading.
BALTIMORE, Dec 6.-Cath0lic officials
claim that the published reports give a
very misleading summary of the author
lied abstract OF the proceedings of the
recent meeting OF the Catholic ARCH
bishops. Some of the most important
parts of the summary are omit
ted altogether. After Mgr. Sa-
TOLL had stated that the pope
desired to have a permanent apostolic
delegation established in the United
States with the concurrence of the arch
bishops, the official proceedings state
that he was informed at the third SeS-
sion on Nov. II that the melropoltanS
did not feel warranted in taking any
action i'll such matter until they had
taken council with their sutfragans, in
view of the difficulties connected with
the subjected.
at is we'll known that Cardinal Glib
bons and all the bishops ale now, and
have been all along, very much op-
posed to any such papal official being
sent here" says an authority on Cath
Olic affairs, land it is not likely that
Rome will disregard their protests.
After the most reverend delegate had
read his fourteenth proposition on
the school question, the arch
bishops adopted the two resolu-
tions of Archbishop Ryan, of
Philadelphia, which substantially re
affirmed the DEGREES of the Baltimore
council on that issue. Neither does the
official report say that they approved OF
the fourteen propositions. They re-
quested changes in them, which were
made. and at the last session of the
couuciI Satolli gave further eXplana-
tionS, and promised to send the docu-
ments amended 10 the prelates. But
there is not one word about the accept
ance of Mgr. Satolli's document; on the
contrary, all the private reports being
that the archbishOps rejected it.''
Archbishop Ryan'S official argan, the
Philadelphia Catholic Standard, speak
ing Yesterday of the conference, SAID. in
an editorial entitled, "Attempting to
Mislead the Public" as follows:
LAS had been anticipated, the subject
of Christian education came. Mgr. Sa-
| tolli presented series of fourteen prop
| oslti0ns on the subject. But prior 10
| deliberating on them the archbiShopS
preferred TO consider the reports which
| they themselves had drawn ups in
! accordance with instructions of the
| holy see, and after consultation
| with their respective suffragans. They
unanimously adopted two resolutions
| offered by the most reverend archbishop
! of Philadelphia. which resolutions plant
themselves fairly and Squarely upon
the DEGREES OF the plenary councils of
| Baltimore; they refer definitely to these
DEGREES and contain specific directions
! for giving Eore practical effect to those
decrees."
Since the New York meeting Arch
bishop Corrigan wrote as follows in a
| letter dated Nov. 27, to Father Doyle,
| the Paulist, commencing an article the
| father had written in the Catholic
| World:
"The facts which you present so con
ciSely ana clearly furnish new proof
If any were needed-Of the inSuffi-
cheney of merely secular education.
The experience OF England, Australia,
France and Italy is counterpart of
! our own"
Archbishop Gross and Archbishop
Elder have also been quoted as saying
that SatOlli's fourteen propositions are
not indorsed by the board of metropoli-
tans. Besides these two topics,
the official reports state that
the board of metropolitans at
the third session commended the
educational exhibit at the Chicago
worlds fair and then refused to allow a
married Greek priest to Otficate among
the united Greeks living here, urging
that this work should be given 10 the
Basilian fathers. At the fourth session
refutaton of some Of the statements
of Herr CahenSlY on the perversion OF
immigrants was sent to Rome.
