Satolli on the McGlynn Affair.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.,-Archbishop Sa-
tolli, a permanent apostolic delegate in
the United States, authorizes the publica-
ton Of the following statement in regard
TO the Popes action In the case Of DR..
McGlynn'
on the very day Of the reconciliation
Of Dr. Mc1lynn with the Church public
notice was given of it with the statement
that Mgr. Satolli had absolved from CEN
sure and reconciled DR.. McGlynn by spe-
cial power for tha purpose requested from
and granted by the holy father. and more
over that the absoution h11 been Giyen
because McGlynn had willingly accep I'd
the conditions laid down by the holy
father as necessary and sufficient.
This information so expressed should
have sufficed TO satisfy every one with the
reconciliation carried cut by authority
specially delegated by the molly father
and with the conditions called Tor by
the holy father First, that soon as it
was understood that these conditions were
complied with. every sincere Catholic
should at once have felt himself bound
in conscience to recognize that all had
been done in the case that was eXpe liant
in accord with the spirit Of the Catholic
Church: second that the selection of the
proper time and manner to Stve public
information of the conditions belonged to
the authority Of the Church, and when
the holy father should find IL opportule,
after the reception Of the documents,
which were Immediately forwarded; third.
every one could see that the immediate
publication OF THESE conditions was tor pru-
Dental reasons omitted. to avoid talk that
might oppose the good done by doing
away with the calamity which had for
so long weighed upon priest by recon
cling him with the mother Church. II
this result has not been obtained. and
If this wise silence has been unaccept-
able to any one, it must be ascribed
simply to premature eXaction.
The conditions were In this form:
"Dr. McGynn had presented a brief
80. Of fa mil n
economic matters, and II was judged not
contrary to the doctrine constantly taught
by TIE Church, and as recently con-
hrmed by the holy father in the encycli-
cal RerUm Novarurn. And II Is hereby
publicly made known that DR.. McGlynn
besides processing his adherence TO all
the doctrines and teachiI gs or the Catho-
lie Church, has EXPIRE ssed his regret, say
Ing that he would be the first to regret
IT,, for any word or act Of his that may
have seemed ticking in the respect due
to eccle esIasitici-l authority; and he there
by intends TO repair. as far as he can,
any offense 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 becom-
ing to a good Catholic and priest. Then
it is well TO note how deplorable it is
that this reconciliation should have been
discussed, as it has been, in newspapers
in such manner that private and lay per-
sons have dared to pass upon ii harsn
reproach and i'll considered ceIsure.
That any che should have dared TO
speak of tie Pope's authority over the
Church in America, as foreign, is a sen
timent and an utterance enormously
erroneous and scandalous.
ssT n aption ~ the Church and of the
Holy See in the things that belong to
il is superior TO every man made bound
airy, universal and proper to every coun-
try in hich there may be Catholics For
which reason II seems to us ,XceedinSly
opportune TO recommend due respect IN
every case to ecclesiastical authority,
and, before ALL to that Of the Holy See,
as well as TO that Of the council OF Bal
timore, inasmuch as II forbidden TO treat
ecclesiastical matters and questions
through the medium Of Journalism. Much
more deplorable IL Is that persons. both
ecclesiastics and laymen (who wish TO
appear as sincerely Catholic) make bad
use Of journalism, with violent and men
dacious attacks beyond all bounds OF
respect and charity against venerable
prelates. whose virtue and learning, whose
rectitude OF character and unquestioned
and unquestionable love towards the
churches and the supreme pontif, never
unaccompanied by sincere love Of coun-
try make them deservedly the objects OF
the special prediction OF the holy father
and of universal esteem and veneration."
Archbishop Corrigan submits.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE announce
ment that the Pope had established
permanent delegation in the United States.
and had named Mgr. Satolli the first dele
gate having been made, Arch
bishop Corrigan prepared the
following, which his secretary, Father
Connolly, gave out this evening"
The sovereign pontiff, as the Vatican
Council defines, enjoys immediate eplsco-
pal jurisdiction over the entire hock OF
Christ. The primacy OF the apoStohc see
carries with It from It's very nature the
right to appoint a representative IN any
diocese of the world. To deny this Is TO
deny the faith. Consequently. when the
Holy Father is pleased TO make delegate
APOSTOLIC he has a perfect right TO do
so More than this; TO doubt Of the wis
dom of the Holy See in determining TO
appoint such a representative. no Catho-
lie who is we'll instructed in his religion
would FOR a moment think OF doing. We
ALI receive this decision OF the Holy
Father as we receive all other decisions
emanating from him, with the profound
est reverence respect and obedience. Be-
fore the Holy See acted. there might have
been room for difference OF opinion;
now none exists For my own part, /
gladly receive and welcome the news In
question, always supposing II 10 be au-
