%stituents I give the "Modus procedendi"
in the selection OF q bishop in the United

stituents l give the "Modus procedendi"
in the selection Of a bishop in the United
States.
The c%onsultors OF a vacant see and the
irremovable pastors, if there are any in
the diocese, assemble under the presi-
dency of the archbishop, and select the
names of three priests, whom they con
slider fitted for the bishopric. The JON
sultors of the diocese are four or six
priests, who form the bishops council
and whom the bishop consults in certain
matters specified in the canons. Two
copies of the proceedings of the consul
tors meeting are made, one of which is
forwarded to Rome, the other is retained
by the archbishop. Next the bishops of
the Province of st. Paul, of whom at
present there are four, convene, again
under the presidency of the archbishop.
These consultors' list is submitted to
them.
Sometimes it is approved; sometimes
it is rejected. The bishops draw up a
list OF three names, and this list is also
forwarded to Rome. Together with the
names of the worthy ones is sent a brief
but accurate history of the life, labors
and capabilities of the candidates.
The Congregation of the Propaganda
in Rome considers the candidates care
fully, selects n from their number and
presents his name to the pope for ap-
pointment. Sometimes the propaganda
rejects all the names proposed by priests
and bishops. Sometimes the pope ac-
cepts the name; sometimes he rejects all.
1t is said, though I cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the statement, that where
there was question of appointing a sue
cessor to Cardinal Wiseman to the see
of Westminster, the late Plus *, of
holy memory, set aside all the names pro-
posed by the bishops and priests and
ratified by the propaganda, and ap-
pointed Henry Edward Hanning, at that
time comparatively unknown, but whom
all recognize now as the most eminent
churchman of all modern times.
