New YORK., Dec. 13.-The Tribune
American archbishops and bishops of
the Roman Catholic church do not want
Mgr. SatOlli to remain in this country.
The probabilities are that, with the
exception of Archbishop Ireland, they
have appealed to Rome for his removal,
or at least have requested that lie be de-
prived of his extraordinary powers. 1t
is said they will not countenance the
appointment of papal legate vested
with such powers as were given to Mgr.
SatOli. There is probably hardly a
prelate who would not be delighted to
see him Oh his way back to Rome. The
bishops say that if their authority is to
be anything more than a shadow they
must be allowed to rule their own dio-
ceses without such close supervision as
they would be subjected to should Mgr.
Satoli retain his full powers.
1t is in all probability safe to say,
however. that most of the priests hailed
with delight the appointment of Mgr.
Sa1oll. because they considered him to
be broad-minded and learned eccle-
siastic, fully competent to hear and de-
eide a case, and who would make every
one recognize that a priest had rights as
we'll as bishop, and that
The Church Was willing
to recognize and emphasize the fact.
. They say that a bishop will seize every
opportunity that presents itself to in
crease his power in his diocese. If a
priest tries to prevent him and makes
himself obnoxious by so doing, he is re-
moved to another parish, where he is
not too we'll known and where no one is
likely to SympathiZe with him. If he
appeals and the case goes to Rome,
the priest is likely to be beaten. as the
influence of bishop there is much
greater than that Of priest, TO rem
edy this Mgr. Satolli, they say, was sent
to this country. The priests realize
this and hope he will remain here. The
bishops for the same reason, il is said,
want him removed.
Of course the bishops have had, as
yet, no cause for complaint over the set
tIement of case by Mgr. Satolli, but
his views of the school question have
shown them the kina of a man he IS.
He looks at thingsin broad light and
the priests say that is just what the
bishops are opposed to. AS a
consequence they decided to begin
hoStilities at once and so they refused
to accept his plans for the settlement of
the school question. They said his
plans. if adopted, would eventually end
in doing away with par0chial schools.
and appealed to Rome to know whether
the pope'S views were the same as Mgr.
Satolli's. A dispatch from Rome yes
terday says the pope, Cardinal Ram
In !, nd in
with his proposition ON the school
question. Notwithstanding all this.
Rumors Are In Circulation
which say that Mgr. Satolli is to be re-
called. A well-known priest talked yes
terday about the action of the arch
bishops. He would not allow his name
to be used for publication because his
views are not the same as those OF
Archbishop COrrigan. He said:
"You have heard Of Western cyclones.
Well, Archbishop Ireland is the great
Western ecclesiastical cyclone. AS soon
it is too late to get out of the way. The
by Archbishop Ireland. No one realized
what he was doing until it was too late
to prevent it. Mgr. Satolli will moi re-
turn to Rome. Do you suppose that the
pope is going to be dictated to by the
American bishops? No. When he sent
Mgr. Satolli here be sent him to stay.
He did the right thing when he sent
a papal delegate here. 1t was
due to the efforts of Archbishop
Ireland that he was sent here. Arch
bishop Ireland is too much of an Amer
lean to suit most of our bishops and
archbishops. Why, Mgr. Satolli and
the pope are more American in their
views than many of them. Mgr. Satolli
is too broad-minded and too much like
Archbishop Ireland to suit our bishops.
However, he will remain here for these
reasons: Archbishop Ireland observed
to the pope that it would be well to send
him here. His views are the same as
the pope's. and the propaganda has ap-
proved his plans for the settlement of
the school question. Mgr. O'Connell
has great influence at Rome, and will
leave Saturday to head oft the arch
bishops opposition"
