CATHOLIC NEWS.
Pope Leo and the Schools-Doings
of Clergy and Laity.

Pope Leo has mailed to the prelates of
the United States a brief on the school
question. and within a week Catholics
viii be acquainted with the desires of the
holy Father on the subject. 1t is adj
mitted that the majority Of the opinions
OF the Bishops OF tue United States sub.
mitted to the Holy Fat her were in favor
OF unfolding the parochial schools
and declaring the public schools god
less. but whether the opinions OF the
Pope-as embraced in the fourteen pro-
positions submitted to the Arcnbishops
by Mgr. Satolli will be changed remains
to be seen. These propositions were in
line with the DEGREES Of the Third
Plenary Council Of Baltimore, and made
positive one fact. that Catholic
parents who did not send their children
TO the parochial schools, could not be re-
fused the Sacramento. Bishop WiRger
interpreted the law otherwise, but
changed his idea when instructed so to
do by Mgr. Satolii. TINS was in reality
the only bone of contention previous to
the coming OF Mgr. Satolll. or course
his coming was good for the priests. Ii a
Bishop decided a priest must nave a
Darochial school on certain lines. aud the
parish priest thought otherwise, the lat

Bishop; now he eau appeal to the Dsle-
