WAsHfSeToS, Jan IA cable mes
sage has been received by Mgr. Satolh

Roxz Jan. H.
The apostolic delegation Is permanently
established in the United States, and You are
confirmed as the first delegate.
fSiguejI O'CoSNKLL-
The importance of this message. pro-
ceeding as it does the American secre-
tary of the propagands, will be readily
appreciated. Inquiries at the Catholic
university confirm the above.
The propaganda will send by the
Rev. r. z. Rocker the documents
authenticating the new powers con-
ferred upon Mgr Satolli as permanent
delegate. In order that he may convey
these documents, Father Rocker will
postpone his departure for America
Archbishop Sstolli. permanent apos-
tolic delegate in the United States, au-
thorizes the publication of the follow
ing statement in regard to the pope's
action in the case of DIR. McGlynn:
On the very day OF the reconciliation OF DR.,
McGlynn with the church public notice vas
given of Il with thu statement that Mgr Sa>
tolli hal sbsolvsi from c,nsure and reconciled
Dr. McGiyna by special power for the purpose
requested from and granted by the holy father;
and moreover that the dissolution had been
Eiv>u G'cau DR.. McGlynn had willingly ac-
cepted the conditions lail down by the holy
faith r rs necessary and sufficient. The condi-
tons were in this form: DR.. McGlyun mo
presented brief statement OF his opinions on
moral economic matters. and It WIS Judged nos
contrary to the doctrine constSntly taught by
the church and rs recently confirmed by tns
holy father In the encyclical rerum novsruui
Also. it Il pabi.ly ms ls known, th1t DR..
McGlynr, besides protesting his adhersucs to
all The doctrines AMI te-chiIgs Of the Catholic
church, has expressed his regret. saying that
lie would be the hrst to regret it, for any word
or act of mis- that may have seemed lacking In
respect du, to ecclesiastical authority. and hs
thereby intends to rep1ir, as far as he can. any
offsnse which may have bs,n given to Catho-
lies.
Finally. D.. McGyan has, of his own frss
will. declared AMI promised that within the
limits of a not-lolg p,rio1 OF tins he will go
to Rome in the spirit an; intention which arc
becoming to a good Catholic and priest.
Then il is well to note how Geplorable 1t Is
that this reconciliation shoul havo bsen dis
cuss.d as it kaI been in newspapers-in such
manner that privat, AMI Law psrso1s have
dared to pa Ss upon it harsh repro7ci aud H.
considered ctnsure. That any on shoulj have
dared to speak Of the popss authority over ths
Church Ia America as foreign is a s,ntirncnt
an1 al utterance e1ormously erroneous and
scandalous. The action OF the church and OF
the holy see In ths things that belong to II Is
superior to every mal-n1de boundary, uui-
YER al and proper to every cosntry in which
there may he Citholics; for which reason 1t
seems to us exceedingly opportune to recon-
mend due respect in every case to eccle-
sias.ical authority. and before all to
TINT Of the holy see. as wall to that
Of the council OF Baltimore. inasmuch as
1t Is forb! idel to treat ecclesiastical matters
and questions through the mo iium OF Journal
ism. Much more deplorable Is it that persons-
both ccclcsiasiics and laymen lwho wish 10 ap-
pear AZ sincerely CathoiicI. make bad uss OF
Journalism with violent an1 msndacsous at
tack. beyond all bounls of respect and
charity gainst a venerable prelate who's, vir-
tue ani learning. whose r,ctituds Of character
AMI unquestioned aud unqusstionsbe love
toward the church AMI the supraue poDtih,
never unaccompanied by sincere love o. coun-
try. make them deseryedly thu objects Of the
special predilsction OF the holy father and OF
un verSIl esteem.
Father McGIynn's Letter-Loyalty Reaf-
nrmrd. But No Teaching Retracted.
NEW YORK, Jan. l6.-Rev. DIR. Ed
ward McGlynn last night said that in
his letter to Mgr. Satolli he had neither
condemned nor retracted the economic
doctrine that he had been teaching.
And yet" he says, thanks to the en-
lightened Judgment and noble heart Of
Pope Leo XIII. and the willing readi-
ness of his worthy representative,
Archbishop Satolli, in carrying out his
instructions, have been relieved of &C.
clesiastical censures and fully restored
to my priestly ministry"
Now. that all is made clear by the
published statement of Archbishop Sa-
TOLL. we are relieved from the restraint
of certain considerations of prudence
and delicacy, am only too happy to
publish the letter which presented to
the apostolic delegate and his accept
ance of which was followed by the
declaration of the removal of the &C.
clesiastic1l censures and by the publi-
cation of which to re-affirm the senti-
mcuts which it contains The letter
is as follows:

IF in due time" DIR. McGlynn said,
'the holy father should express a de-
sire to see me, shall be very happy
indeed to comply with his wishes to
have that occasion to thank him in per-
son for his kindly and enlightened
Judgment and action in my behalf
"In the statement presented to Mgr.
Satolli there is no minimizing, explain
ing away or departing from the doc
trines of the united labor party plat
form or the Anti-Poverty society as I
have been teaching the doctrine for
years"
