"RoME, Jan. H.-The apostolic delegation is
permanently established in the United States
and you are confirmed as first delegate
"O'CoNNELIl"
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 DIR. Nc
Glynn:
"On the very day of the reconciliation of Dr.
McGlynn with the church public notice was
given of 1t, with the statement that Mgr
Satoli 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 DR.. McGlynn had will
lingly accepted the conditions laid down by the
holy father as necessary and sufficient
"This information so expressed should have
sufliced TO satisfy everyone w tn the reconcile
| alton carried out by authority specially dele
| gated by the holy father and with the condi-
tions called for by the holy father. Then it is
| well to make several reflections:
II. That as soon as it was understood that
| these conditions were complied with every sim
| cere Catholic should at once have felt himself
| bound in conscience 70 recognize that all hau
been done in the case that was expedient and in
accord with the spirit of the Catholic church
~ That the selection of the proper time and
| the manner to give public information of the
DelOnBeu 10 tne authority OF the
| church and when the holy father should find it
| opportune after the reception of the documents,
| which were Immediately forwarded.
| % Everyone could see that the immediate
| publication OF those conditions was for pruden-
| tial reasons omitted to avoid talk that might
| oppose the good done by doing away with
| the calamity which has so long weighed upon
| priest by reconcilling him with mother church.
| II this result had not been obtained, and il
| this wise silence has been unacceptable 10 any
| one, II must be ascribed simply to premature
| exaction.
"The conditions were 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 recently
| confirmed by the holy father in the encyclical
| 'Rerum Novarum. Also it is here
| by publicly made known that DR.. Nc
Glynn, besides protesting 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 it for
any act or word of his that may have seemed
lacking in the respect due TO ecclesiastical au
thority, and he thereby intends to repair, rs far
as he can any odenSe which may have been
| given to Catholics
"Finally DR.. 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.
that this reconciliation should have been dis
cussed as it 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 to speak of the pope'S authority over the
church in America as foreign is u sentiment
and utterance enormously erroneous and
scandalous.
1.-The action of the church and of the holy see
in the things that belong TO it is superior to
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 to ecclesiastical authority, and be-
fore all to that holy see, well to that of
the council of Baltimore, inasmuch as il is for
hidden to treat ecclesiastic matters and
questions through the medium of journalism.
! Much more deplorable is it that persons,
both eccleSiastics and laymen (who wish to ap-
pear as sincerely Catholic), make bad use OF
journalism with violent and mendacious at
tacks, beyond all bounds of respect and charity
against venerable prelates, whose virtue and
. learning, whose rectitude of character and un-
questioned and unqdestionabe love toward the
church and the supreme pontlff, never unaccom.
panied by sincere love of country, make them
, deservedly the subjects of the special predilec-
tion of the holy father and of universal esteem. "
New YORK, Jan. 16.-On the an
nouncement that the pope had estab.
lished permanent delegation in the
United States and had named Mgr.
Satolli the first delegate, Archbishop
! Corrigan prepared statement which
his secretary, Father Conolly, 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
mating from HIM, with the profoundest rever
l ence, respect and obedience Before the holy
I see acted there might have been room for diff
ference of opinion: now none exists. For m!

news in question, always supposing it to be au
