no further reason why the decree of last
December should not be made public in

Bishops are accordingly directed TO pro-
mulgate the decree without further de-
lay. When the decree was first issued
the head OF each diocese was given two
months in which to publish it, or else
make known to Rome IN writing what
special circumstances existed why pub
Hcation should be deferred. Most of these
heads OF dloceses have since published
the decree, but as unofficial Information
reached ROme that some Bishops had not
