WASHINGTON. d. C.. January H.
Archbishop ~atolh, permanent apostolic
delegate in the United States, authorizes
,uc publication Of the following state
uent iu regard TO the Pope's action in
the case of Or. McGlynu
" On Jre very day OF the reconcilia-
ton of Dr. McGlyun with the Church
public notice was gwen OF 1t, with the
statement that Nousignor Satolli had
ahso.vod from censure and reconcilcd
Dr. Mc1lynn 10y special power for the
purpose requested from and granted by
tn. holy Father, and moreover that the
dissolution had been given because DIR.
McGSnu had willingly accepted the
conditions laid down by the Holy Father
as necessary and sufficient.
Transformation 50 expressed should
have suiiiced 10 satisfy every one with
the reconciliation carried ont by author
ity specially delegated 10y the Holy Fa-
thor and with the conditions called for
b7 the Holy Father, because, first, rs
soon rs it was understood that these con-
ditions were complied with every sin
cere Catholic should at once have felt
himself bound In conscience TO recognize
that all had been done in the case that
was exuedient, IN accord with the spirit
of the Catholic Church second, the Sc
lection Of the proper time and manner
to give public information Of the cOndl-
tons belonged to the authority Of the
Church. and when the Holy Father
should lind 1t opportuue after the recep-
ton Of the documents, which we're I'M
m.diately forwarded third, every one
could see that the immediate publlca-
ton Of these conditions was for pruden-
tial reasons omitted. to avoid talk that
might oppose the good done 10y dong
away with the calamity which had for
50 long weighed upon the priest by re-
concihng him with his mother, the
Church. If this result has not been OBJ
tanned. and il TINS wise silence has been
unacceptable TO any one, II must he as
cribcd simply TO premature eXaction.
The conditions were IN this form :
Dr. McGIyun had presented a brief
statement OF his opinions on moral
economic matters, and It Was judged not
contrary t. the doctrine constantly
taught bv the Church and recently con-
firmcd bv the Holy Father in the ency.
clical rerlut HOrVrU1a. Also. it is here
hy publicly made known .Aet DIR. Nc
Glynn, besides protesting his adherence
10 all the doctrines AMI teachings OF the
Catholic Church. has expressed LIS re
cret. saving that he would be the first
20 rerrrtit for any word or act of his that
may have seemed lacking II the respect
dno 10 ecclesiastical authority ; and he
thereby intends to repair, as far
"a Lc can, any offence which
may have been given TO Catho-
lies. Finally, lr. Mct,lyun has OF hls
own free VIII declared and promised that
within the limits Off not long period Of
time he will 60 10 Home in the spirit and
intention which are becoming to a good
Catholic aud priest Then, 1t is well
to note how dcplorabie 1t is t. a. this re-
cancellation should have been discussed
os It has been IN newspapers in such
manner that private aud lay persons have
dared to pass upon it harsh reproach and
Ili-cOasidertd ccusure. That any one
should have dared TO speak OF the Pope ;
authority over the Church il America rs
foreign Is a sentiment and an utterance
enormously erroneous and scandnIous.
