TO DOWN CORRIGAN.
Prominent Catholics Indignant
That Father McGIynn Was Not
Made to Apologize.
One Claims That There Is q Clique
AntagOnistic to the New York
Archbishop.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-The Tribune
prints the following: The opinion that
DR.. McGiynn should have been rem
stated if he made amends for what he
had said and done, is held by the large
majority of priests and more influential
and prominent Catholic laymen. They
think that Mgr. SatOlli'S decision is ex-
tremely unjus to Archbishop COrrigan,
and they are at loss to account for
his action. They cannot understand
why Dr.. McGlynn was not required to
make an apology, and they have an idea
that there must have been some reason
for treating the archbishop so shabbily.
To say the least, they all are indignant.
and especially so are the priests. A
high authority in the church. however,
said that he knew all about the matter,
and that it could easily be explained.
Here is what he said:
There is clique in the hierarchy of
the Roman Catholic church in the United
States Which has three orfour members.
1t Is their object to take awav from
Archbishop Corrigan whatever influ-
ence he has at Rome. and, il possible, to
have him removed from his place.
These prelates have done everything
they could to annoy him. and the res
toration of DR.. McGlynn without MAX
ing an apology TO Archbishop Corrigan
is their work. 1t is we'll known now
that it was Archbishop Ireland who in
duced the pope to send Mgr. Sa-
tolli with extraordinary powers OF
course it is undoubtedly true that the
same thing was wanted by Cardinal
Gibbons and two or three others, who
are IabOrlng to down Archbishop COrri-
gan. The pope was made TO believe
that the principal matter to be settled
by Mgr. Satolli was the school question.
He was made TO believe that the people
here in many diOceSes were too poor to
afford the expense of building schools,
but he was not Informed that they were
not too poor to contribute thousands of
dollars to support DR.. McGlynn and DR..
Bnrtsell while they caused diSunion in
the church.
1T was known before Mgr. Satolli
came to this country that he was in
clined to favor the Ireland side of the
church, and that he and Cardinal Glib
bons would Work hand-in-hand. Mgr.
OConnell came with Mgr. SatoIli just
because lie had always been the chief
reliance of the Ireland party at Rome.
Then. to make assurance doubly sure,
Mgr Satolli was met Oh landing here
by Rev. Dr.. O'Gorman, Able Hogan
and Rev. DR.. Bouquillon. They took
him in charge at once, and have never
let any of the opposition party near
him since. LIN addition. he took up his
residence at the Catholic university in
Washington. There was more in Mgr.
Sat0lli's visit than many thought.
However, they have as much chance
OF inducing the pope to become Free
Mason as they have of inducing him to
down Archbishop Corrigan. The arch
bishop has done too much for the
church in this country TO receive any
such treatment from the pope. The
pope will soon discover the archbishOp'S
position, and should snot be surprised
if he made him cardinal. Their action
in the McGlynn case is about their first
act. 1t will be their last 1t is shame
that he should be reinStated without
he said and apologize to Archbishop
Corrigan.o
A reporter has seen Archbishop Cor
rigan. and asked him whether he knew
anything about DR.. McGlynn's plans
for the future. He said that he knew
nothing about DR.. McGlynn's plans for
the settlement of the case, except what
he learned from the newspapers. He
said, however, that he was glad that DIR.
McGlynn was back in the church and
hoped he would get along wherever he
might go.
ROME. Dec 27.-There are all sorts of
contradictory reports in regard to Mgr.
Satolli's mission, and the course which
the pope will adopt. According to what
may be called the Archbishop Ireland
group his holiness will support the en-
voy nnreservedly. The opponent Of the
archbishop's ideas, on the other hand.
are discounting Mgr. SatOllfs prompt
recall. The Vatican alone is silent.
