THE CIVIL MARRIAGE QUESTION IN HUNGARY.
Vienna, March Io.-Cardinal Archbishop vaslary,
Pnmate Of Hungary, and the other archbls5ops and
bishops Of the Roman Catholic Church In Hungary
have presented a memorial to the Emperor and fins
francis Joseph, ashng him 10 protect the Church
against the measures Introduced by the hungarian
Government and considered by the prelaes signing
the memorial as hostile TO the Church, chief among
law In Hungary ty making civu marriage complete
legal fuflment OF the marriage contract.
There is In this question Of the civil marriage In
Hungary which may ieorardsc the maintenance OF
the dual Empire OF Austria, an Important feature
which Is usually lost sight OF In the dispatches. II
relates TO baptism and TO the religious status Of the
children OF marriages between Protesants and
Catholics. The law Of 1868 provides. that boys shall
follow religion Of the father and girls that OF the
mother. This law enacted through the In
nuence Of the Hungarian rrotestants who are only
1000 900 against 5000 900 Catholics but who really
govern the country, In consequence OF their intel
| lectual superiority and their political ability The
Roman Catholics arguing from the liberal ideas OF
personal liberty. want the abrogation OF the law oi
1868 and urge that parents should be left free 'o
educate their children In the creed they seVeraiN
prefer. The Protcstans rcpy that. as long ms the
civil registers arc exclusively In the hands Of the
clergy would be unsafe to rely on these registers IN
order exactly to determine statistics concerning the re
lgious status OF children, while the present law Is
positive-bOys following the creed OF the father ana
girls that OF the mother Still greater security In ha'
regard could be obtained from the Institution OF civil
marriages, the registers of which would be Kept oy
municipal officers.
The Catholic Church recognizes only religious mar
riages, while in many European countries ad1erng
to the Roman creed civil marriages are the ONLY ones
held 10 be legal. But In those countries the Church
has consented not To consider the civil marraee as
an obstacle to the religious opes which wonld prevent
II from giving Its blessing and sacrainrns 10 ",'ns

sociaes will finally accept tne new law propoeh pp; W
