REBELLIOUS
UtteranceS Against the
Papal Power
In Defense of Arch
Bishop Corrigan
Have Aroused Interest in New
York Catholic Circles.
McGIynn AssaIled and the Ablegate
SatolIi Irreverently styled
deputy Pope"

New York, Aug. 7.-[Associated
Press. Am article under the signature
of "A Catholic American" that appear
ed in the Sun has caused considerable
gossip in Catholic church circles,a as well
as throughout the city generally. 1t
is intended as defense OF Archbishop
Corrigan. 1t is in reality defiance of
the papal authority, accom- panied by a
threat of cutting off financial aid and
ultimately OF secession from Rome.
Arch bishop Satolli, papal ALLOCATE, is
himself taken to task for the manner
in which he restored accommodated
Father McGlynn, while even the pope
is practically charged with interference
of the worst kind. The character Of
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn lie assailed
from every standpoint, and it is stated
in the broadcast possible language that
instead Of being a priest he should
have been a politician. The open de-
fance of Rome and the implied threat
| to cut off revenue from the archdiocese
was read with aInazement. The writer
Of the article tells OF the manner in
which the DEGREES OF the propaganda
at Rome were always accepted by
Arch bishop Corrigan, and then points
out the changed condition OF affairs
under the new regime, when, regard
less OF the propaganda, Archbishop ga
folly, deputy pope" as the wii.e.
styled him, does as he pleases without
consultation with thr bishops whose
territory he enters upon, .Gut whose
decisions he reverse. Thea re CoG1es
to the point evidently deemed best o.
all, the failure of Archbishop Corrigan
to receive the cardinal } az. This the
Catholic American clGuI.s o he op.
position and medC i3g OF DR.. McG:ynu
Archbishop Satolli and others. Chs
writer has this tC cay OF the suggested
separation Of tie Catholic church in
this country from Rome itself:
Does the greag change that have
been considering mean more than ha.
been announced? Does it mean per,
Eaanent separation OF the government
Of the Catholic church in this country
from the control OF Rome? Ii this is Sc
should 1t not be more representative
change and should not the constituence
be heard in the chOiee OF their new
ruler?"
Then comes the concluding para
graph. Up to this time the lettel
seems to have been inspired by some
one high in authority, but the last sen
fences seem to have been put on by the
writer himself as a cracker 10 the whip
which somebody else had placed in his
hands, He says:
'If we are to have an American pope
in fact or in effect, why should not Car
dinal Gibbons be vested with the dig
nifty and sovereign power? He wal
practically at the head OF the Catholic
church in this country before the ad
vent OF Manager Satolli from Italy
He is patriotic American citizen. Ht
has lived all his life under our Institu
tions and among our people. He ha
earned and achieved the highest ranl
heretofore permitted to American
Catholics by reason OF meritorious ser
vices. Relative to the Catholic con
stituencies he would be called upon L
govern, he is as able as he is eminent
and is possessed of the highest admin
istrative and Judicial powers. His ele
walton would strengthen every fiber o.
faith and OF hope that binds American
Catholics to their ancient faith"
