HCNOREn RY The POPE

" ST. SNtoil Made permanent fhpat Del
egate to the United states--what His
appointment aIeans-statetnent of the
MeGlynn Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia cable mes
sage has been received by Mgr. Satolli
as follows:
rome Jan 1.-THE apostolic delegation is
permanently established in the United States
and you are confirmed as first delegate
"OCoNNELI."
Archbishop Satolli, permanent apos-
tolic delegate in the United States,
authorizes the publication of the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the
pope's action in the case of DR.. Nc
Glynn:
ION the very day Of the reconciliation Of Dr.
McGlynn with the church public notice was
given OF II, win the statement that Mgr.
Satolli had absolved from censure and recon
ciled DR.. McGlynn by special power for the
purpose requested from and granted by the
holy father; and moreover that the absolution
had been given because DIR. McGlynn had viii
lingly accepted the conditions laid down by the
holy father as necessary and sufficient
This information 50 expressed should have
sufficed TO satisfy everyone with the reconcile
alton carried out by authority specially dele
gated by the holy father and with the condi
well TO make several reflections:
4. That as soon as IL was understood that
these conditions were complied with every sin
eere Catholic should at once have felt himself
bound IN conscience TO recognize that all had
been done in the case that was expedient and in
accord with the spirit OF the Catholic church
y That the selection OF the proper time and
the manner 10 give public information OF the
conditions belonged 10 the authority OF the
church and when the holy father should find IL
opportune after the reception Of the documents,
which were Immediately forwarded
20. Everyone could that the immediate
publication OF those conditions was for pr lden-
tial reasons omitted to avoid talk that might
oppose the good done by doing away with
the calamity which has so long weighed upon a
priest by reconcilling him with mother church.
III this result had not been obtained, and il
this wise silence has been unacceptable TO any
exaction.
The conditions we're in this form: DR. Nc
Glynn has presented brief statement OF his
opinions on moral and economic matters, and
II was judged not contrary TO the doctrine con-
stantly taught By the church and as recently
confirmed by the holy father in the encyclical
'Rerum Novarum' Also it is here
by publicly made known that DIR. Nc
Glynn, besides processing his adher-
ence TO all the doctrines and teachings OF the
Catholic church, has expressed his regret, say
ing that he would be the first TO regret IL for
any act or word of his that may have seemed
lacking in the respect due 10 ecclesiastical au.
thority. ana he thereby intends TO repair, as far
as he can any cfense which may have been
given 10 Catholics.
FINALLY DIR. McGlynn has, OF his own free
will, declared and promised that within the
limits OF not long period OF time he Will go TO
Rome in the spirit and intention which are be-
coming to GOOD Catholic and priest
Then il is well to note how deplorable IL is
that this reconciliation should have been dis
cussed as il has been in newspapers, in such
manner that private and lay persons have
dared to pass upon it harsh reproach and i'll
considered censure. That anyone should have
dared 10 speak OF the pope's authority over the
church in America as foreign is sentiment
and an utterance enormously erroneous and
scandalous.
1.-THE action OF the church and Of the holy see
In the things that belong TO ii is superior to
every man made boundary universal and proper
TO every country in which there may be Cath
olicS. For which reason it seems TO US exceed
ingly opportune TO recommend due respect In
every case 10 ecclesiastical authority, and be-
fore all 10 that holy see, as well as to that Of
the council OF Baltimore, inasmueh as it is for
hidden 10 treat ecclesiastical matters and
questions through the medium OF journalism
Much more deplarable is it that persons,
both ecclesiastics and laymen (who wish 10 APP
pear as sincerely Catholicl make bad use OF
journalism with violent and mendacious at.
tacks beyond all bounds OF respect and charity,
against venerable preiates, whose virtue ana
learning, whose recttude OF character and un.
Questioned and unques tionable love toward the
church and the supreme pontlD, never unaccom.
panied by sincere love OF country, make them
desc rvedly the subjects OF the special predilec-
ton OF the holy father and of universal esteem"
New YORK, Jan. 16.-On the an
nouncement that the pope had estab-
lished a permanent delegation in the
United States and had named Mgr.
Satolli the first delegate, Archbishop
Corrigan prepared a statement which
his secretary. Father Connolly, gave to
the press. The statement says among
other things:
1--WE all receive this decision OF the holy
father as we receive all other decisions emf
lating Fl n HIM, with the profoundest reyer-
snce respect and obedience, Before the holy
see acted there might have been room for dif-
terence of opinion; now none exists. For my
own part l gladly receive and welcome the
news in question, always supposng it TO be au-
thentc."
This is complete answer to those who op-
posed Mgr Satollt's authority The establish
nent OF a delegation here will have most ben
shcial effect on the church in America. 1t
will maintain peace and harmony and facili-
tate the settlement OF controversy among

referred TO Rome 1t practically organizes in
perfect form the Catholic church in America,

church affairs, home rule. We will have at

.ical court further result will be

If the holy see will he brought more
before the American people, who

,hurch in lis highest action is thoroughly in
with the principles Of our democracy
and all that is good useful and elevating in
modern progress
