instated ii he made amends Tor what
bo has said and done is held by a large
majority Of the priests and the more
influential and prominent Catholic
Isymen. They think tia. Mgr. satolli'a
decision is extremely unjust to Arch
bishop Corrigan, and they are at a loss
TO account for his action. They can
no. understand Why DR.. Me6lynu was
not required to make an apology, and
they have an idea that there must have
been some reason for treating the arch
bishop so shabbily. To say the least,
they all arc indignant and especially SO
,re the priests. A high authority in
tho church, however, said that he
knew all about the matter and that 1t
could easily be explained. Here Is
what he said: Il,
"Tiat such an important case should
have been settled in a few days by
Ncr. satolli is surprising, and the way
in which it was settled is still moro
tsrDrising. DR.. Burtsell goes to Mgr.
Satolli and presents the case of Dr.. Nc
GIynn. He ia asked to takea message
10 Dr.. McGlynn and bring back an au-
Iwer. The answer is satisfactory, and
Dr. McGlynn is declared free from &C.
clesiastical censure and restored to the
exercise Of his priestly functions. He
is not required publicly to retract what
he has said during tho last six years
snd is not asked to apologize to Arch
bishop Corrigan. That is queer and
what ia more It is outrageous. OF course
neither the pope nor. Mgr. Satolli can
really be blamed for such proceedings.
They would have acted in an entirely
different manner had they known the
exact merits Of the case. They did
what they did because they allowed
themselves to be misled and misin-
formed. Yet they are to be excused
for not knowing thatthose who pleaded
Or. McGlynn's case were doing so
simply to hurt Archbishop Corrigan.
"There ia q cliquein the hierarchy Of
the Roman Catholic church in the
United States which has three or four
members. It is their object to take away
from Archbishop Corrigan whatever in
fuence he has at Rome, andif possible
TO have him removed from his place.
These prelates have done everything
they could to annoy him, and the re-
storation Of DR.. McGiyen without max
ing an apology to Archbishop Corrigan
Is their work. They are also circulating,
all the rumors to the effect that DR..
Burtsell will again become the rector Of
the Church Of the Epiphany, and that
he and Father Ducey will receive the
title Of Monsignor. They even 90 so far
as to say that DR.. McGlynn willgo back
toSt. Stephens. All these rumors are
untrue. DR.. Burtsell will not 60 back
10 the Church Of the Epiphany, nor
will DR.. MCGlynn 60 back to St Ste
phen's unless Archbishop Corrigan d.
reefs them to. They are not likely to
ask him to do so. Father Ducey never
did receive the title Of Monsignor, as
has been said, and the rumor current
now that that title has been conferred
upon him is untrue.
1.-THE fact that Archbishop Corrigan
vas always ready to help DR.. McGlynn
toget back into the church ii he would
do the proper thing and make some
9ortot m apology, made things easy
for these persons to carry out their OBJ.
ieCt AS the archbishop never really
pushed the case against DR.. McGlynn,
bya little explanation to suit them-
selves, they could make the pope be-
lieye that tho matter was not as serious
IS had been pictured and Furthermore,
+ Dt. McGlynn repeatedly said that the
press was misrepresenting him and.
making him say what he never did say.
ut is well known now that it was
Archbishop Ireland who induced the
pope to send Mgr. satolli here with ex-
traotdinary powers. OF course it is I'M
doubtedly true that the same thing was
wanted by Cardinal Gibbons and two
Or three others who are laboring to.
down Archbishop Corrigan. The pope
was made to believe that the principal
matter to be settled by Mgr. satolli was
tho school question. He was made to
believe that the people hero in many
aloceses were too poor to afford the ex-
pense Of building schools, but he was
not informed that they were not too
poor to contribute thousands of dollars
