THEY ESCAPED CENsURE.
ssNow it seems to me it would have
been manly and brotherly on the part OF
the Bishop OF Newark to have sent an
open communication to the press assum-
ing responsibility for his own acts, ana
requesting that the Apostolic Delegate
shsuld not receive censure when be was
deserving OF praise. 1t was digniiied
course followed by MoRsignOr Satolli.
BE could not forget his seli-respect and
the dignity due his Office and mission.
Monsigner Satolli remained silent rnd
the people who deserved censnre es-
caped il.
"You see clearly In this case that
MonSignsr SAtolli was guilty OF ne dis
courtesy to the Bishop, that he was
sinned against and not the sinner, snd
1 know most positively that In all his
acts to Bishops his conduct has been
directed by extreme consideration and
refined delicacy.
81 really believe that he is so just a
man that he does net know how to be
guilty OF discourtesy to any one. The
same thoughtfulness directing his con-
duct to the ordinary OF Newark has
been shown by tho Apostolic Delegate
to all the. Bishops that his Office has
forced him TO deal with.
HIS MISSION SUCCESSFUL.
beyond all question his mission has
thus far been fruitful for peace and har-
mony, and in the interest OF the Catho-
lie Church Of the United States.
at is but natural that our Bishops,
to use the language OF Western Catho-
lie journal. who have received their
bulls from the Pope, should supply the
rest OF their equipment from the vast
storehouss OF abuses and necessity.
Our faith has been strong, and 1t had to
be strong to stand the strain sometimes
put upsn IL, but our obedience was
weak indeed.
This exhibition Of weak obedience Is
confined to the first order Of the b fer
archy. They were never called on to
practice the virtue until lately, and
they found the sacrifice beyond endur-
ance. Virtues wax strong by practice;
they grow weak by neglect The gov
eminent Of the Roman Catholic Church
ia the United States has been little
more than shadowy for hundred
years. But for the future" Mgr. Du-
cey added, 81 think the bishops will
set true example to the priests and
the laity."
oBEEIENCE TO ROME.
1--WE must learn obedience to Rome
In all spiritual matters, In all classes
and ranks OF American Catholics. II
priests and the people are to obey
their bishops the bishops must set the
example by obeying Rome"
81 firmly believe that the seventy.tiye
bishops In the United States to-day aud
the fourteen archbishops keenly appre-
ciate the fact that the mission OF the
Apostolic Delegate is beyond all ques-
tion productive OF great good for peace
and harmony, and that Tor the future
greater unity and truer zeal will be
manifested or the part Of archblshops,
bishops, priests aud laity.
while Mgr. Satolli remains with ms
we will have constant manifestations OF
true manhood and real prestly spirit.
His candor and strsightforwardness
have startled men who like TO be myste-
rous, and | think they will see FOR the
future that the straightforward and
honest way is the best course for all,
and most productive Of real good"
