Organization of the Church in Ameri-
GIynn.
WASHINGTON, January IA cable
message has been received by Mgr. Sa-
tolli, as follows:
ROME, January IA.
The apostolic delegation is permanently es-
tablished in the United States, and you are
confirmed as the first delegate.
[Signedl, O'CoNNELL.
The Importance of this message, pro-
ceeding as it does from the American
secretary of the propaganda, will be
readily appreciated.
Inquiries at the Catholic University
here, where Mgr. Satolli sides, fully
confirm the authenticity of the news.
Advises Harmony.
ROME, January 14.-Pope Leo is pre-
pairing an encyclical to the American
Episcopate, apropos to the ecclesiastical
differences existing there, and advising
harmony and union
Archbishop ireland Pleased.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, January 14.-Arch-
bishop ireland was shown copy Of the
Rome cablegram announcing the appoint
ment of Mgr. Satolli to be permanent pa
pal delegate to the United States, and
said:
II received cablegran from Rome to
L. &C.. Il,
will be secretary of the delegation.
II am heartily glad that this action
has been taken. The powers of an apos-
tolic delegation, Under the church law,
are broad and well defined.
ssWe have now an apostolic delegate.
Heretofore Mgr. Satolli's title has been
ablegate, which denotes position rather
temporary and underlined. 1t has been
the intention of the Pope for some time
to take this action, but the opposition
shown to Mgr. Satolli in certain quarters
has hastened this decision.
"This is complete answer to those
who opposed MY Satolli's authority.
The establishment of a delegation here
will have most beneficial result on the
church in America. 1t will maintain
peace and harmony, and facilitate the
settlement of controversies among Cath
to Rome.
stIt practically organizes in perfect
form, the Catholic church in America,
instituting, as it were, for more import
ant church affairs, home rule. We will
have at home branch of the supreme
ecclesiastical court. A further result
will be that the immediate workings and
thoughts of the FL ly See will oe brought
more prominently before the American
people, who, from observation, will see
that the Catholic church in its highest
action is thoroughly in harmony with the
principles of our democracy and all that
is good, useful and eleyating in modern
progress"
Case of DIR. McG1ynn.
WASHINGTON, January 14-Archbishop
Satolli, permanent apostolic delegate in
the United S ates, authorizes the publica-
ton OF astatement in regard to the Pope's
action in the case of Dr.. McGlynn. After
giving reasons for not making the facts
public before this time, the statement
says:
s'Dr. McGlynn had presented a brief
statement of his opinions on moral econ
omic matters, and it was judged not con-
trary to the doctrine constantly taught
by the church and as recently confirmed
by the holy ia her in the encyclicalr alrerum
novarum.
sAlso, tits hereby publicly made known
that DR.. McGlynn, besides protesting his
adherence to all the doctrines and leach
ings of the Catholic church, has expressed
his regret Saying that he would be the
first to regret it) for any word OF act OF
his that may have seemed lacking in the
respect due to ecclesiastical authority;
Al dc 70 far
as he can, any offence which may have
been given to the Catholics.
ssFinally, 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 becoming to a good
Catholic and a priest.
Here it is we'll to note how deplorable
it is that this reconciliation should have
been discussed as it has been in newspa-
pers in such manner that private and lay
persons have dared to pass upon it harsh
reproach and i'll considered censure.
'sThat any one should have dared to
speak of the Pope's authority over the
church in America as foreign is senti-
ment and an utterance enormously erron-
eous and scandalous. The action of the
Church and of the Holy See in the
LnlngS Iudt DeloIlS 10 III Is superior W eF-
cry man-made boundary, universal and
proper to every country in which there
may b. Catholics. For which reason it
seems to US exceedingly 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 Baltimore, mas
much as it is forbidden to treat eccle-
siastical matters and questions through
the medium of journalism.
Much more dep1orable is it that per
sons, both ecclesiastics and laymen (who
wish to appear as sincerely Catholie),
make bad use of journalism, with vio-
lent and mendacious attacks, beyond all
bounds of respect and charity, against
venerable prelates, whose virtue and
learning, whose rectitude of character
and unquestioned and unquestionable
love toward the church and the supreme
pontiff, never unacoompanied by sincere
love of country, make them deservedly
the objects of the special prediction of
the Holy Father and of universal esteem
and teneration.'
