SAY CORRlGAN WAS SNUBBEO
Friends Of the Archbishop Criti-
else Mgr. Satolli.
They Insist That MoClynn Should Have
Made Public Apology to the New
York Prelate--An indignation
Meeting.


Meeting.
New YcRE, Dec. 30.-The Tribune
prints the following: The opinion that
DR.. McGlynn should have been rein
stated If he made amends for what he
had said and done is held by large
majority of priests and influential laity.
They think that Mgr. Satolli was ex-
tremely unjust in his action to Arch
bishop Corrigan, and they are at loss
TO account for his action. They cannot
understand why DIR. McGlynn was not
required to make an apology and they
have an idea that there must have been
some reason for treating the archbishop
so harshly. TO say the least, they are
all indignant: especially so are the
priests. A high authority in the church,
however, said that he knew all about
the matter and that it could easily be
explained. Here is what he said:
THAT such an important case should
have been settled in few days by Mgr.
Satolli is surprising, and the way in
which it was settled is still more sur
prising Dr. Burtsell goes to Mgr. Sa-
tolli and presents the case of DIR. Me-
.Glynn. He is asked TO take message
Ito DR.. McGlynn and bring an answer.
krhe answer is satisfactory, and DIR. Me-
Elynn is declared free from ecclesias-
'tical censure. and restored TO the exer-
else of his priestly functioni He is not
'required publicly TO retract what he
has said during the past six years, and
tsnot asked TO apologize to Archbishop
Corrigan. That is queer, and, what
is more, it is outrageous. OF course,
neither the pope nor Mgr. Satolli
can really be blamed for such
proceedings. They would have acted
IN an entirely different manner had
they known the exact merits Of the
case. They did what they did because
they allowed themselves to be mislcd
and misinformed. Yet they are to be
excused for not knowing that those
who pleaded Dr. McGlynns case were
doing 80 simply to hurt Archbishop
Corrigan,
"There is a clique in the hierarchy
of the Roman Catholic church in the
United States. which has three or four
members. 1t is their object to take
away from Archbishop Corrigan what
ever influence he has at Rome and. if
possible, to have him removed from his
place. These prelates have done every
thing they could TO annoy him, and the
restoration of DR. McGiynn, without
making an apology 10 Archbishop Cor
rigan, is their work. They are also
circulating all the rumors to the effect
that DR.. Bnrtsell will again become the
rector of the church of the Epiphany,
and that he and Father Ducey will re-
ceive the title of monsignor. They
even go 50 far as to say DR.. McGIynn
will go back to st. Stephens. All
these rumofs are untrue. DR.. Burtsell
will not go back to the church of
Epiphany, nor will DR.. McGlynn go
back to st. Stephens unless Archbishop
Corrigan directs them to. They are
not likely to ask him To do so. Father
Ducey never did receive the title of
monsignor. rs has been said. and the
report current now that the title has
been conferred upon him is untrue.
"The fact that Archbishop Corrigan
was ready to help DR.. McGlynn TO get
back into the church, if he wonld do
the proper thing and make some sort
of an apology. made things easy for
those persons to carry out their object.
AS the archbishop nev)r really pushed
the case against DR.. McGiynn, by a
little explanation to suit themselves
they could make the pope believe that
kthe matter was not SO serious as has
pictured, and, furthermore DIR.
1lxYs
was misrepresenting him and making
him say what he never did say had
doubtless favorable effect.
"lt is understood now that it was
Archbishop ireland who induced the
pope TO send Mgr. Satolli with extraor-
dinary powers. OF course, it is un-
doubtedly true that the same thing was
wanted by Cardinal Gibbons and two
or three others, who are laboring to
down Archbishop Corrigan. The pope
was made to believe that the principal
matter to be settled by Mgr. Satolli
was the shool question. He was made
TO believe that the people here in many
dioceses were too poor to afford
the expense of building schools, but
he was not informed that they
were too poor to contribute thou
sands. of dollars to support DR..
McGlynn and DR.. Burtseli while
they caused disunion in the church.
DR.. BurtSell, at the time of his removal
| received over S5, 1000, and am told that
DR.. McGlynn has received over S25, 900.
| II seems that it pays to be insubordi-
| nate in this country.
at was known before Mgr. Satolli
came TO this country that he was in
clined to favor the Ireland side of the
church aud that he and Cardinal Glib
bons would work hand in hand. Mgr
O'Connen came with Mgr Satolli just
because he had always been the chief
reliance of the ireland party at Rome.
| Then, to make assurance doubly sure,
Mgr. Satolli was met on landing here
| by Rev. DIR. O'Gorman, Abbe Hogan
and Rev. DIR. Boquillon. They took
him in charge at once and never let one
of the opposition party near him since
| In addition he took up his residence at
| the Catholic university in Washington.
There was more in Mgr. Satolli's visit
than many thought
"However, they have as much chance
Of inducing the pope to become Free
Mason as they have of inducing him to
down Archbishop Corrigan. The arch
bishop has done too much for the
church in this country to receive any
such treatment from the pope. The
| pope will soon discover the earchbishop's
sition and should not be surprised
| If he made him a cardinal.
"Their action in the McGlynn case
was about their first act. 1t will be
i'tirr hast. IL is shame that he should
be reinstated without being obliged
| publicly TO retract what he said and
apologize to Archbishop Corrigan."
