DECREE FROM THE VATICAN
Relating to Catholics Belonging tc
Fraternal Societies.
Precise Terms Defining the federation
to Members of the Church Who
Belong to Such Orders.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Her
ald'' says this morning: Pope Leo XII.
has just issued decree defining in pre-
else terms the liberation which may be
extended to Catholic members of the or
ders of Odd Fellows, knights of Pythias
and Sons of Temperance, already con-
demned by the Pontiff.
The decree is the most important cir
cular which has emanated from the
holy See for several years, affecting as
II does the interests of all the Catholic
members of the orders mentioned, who
are said to number Dot, GOO
1t is conveyed in letter addressed to
the various Bishops by Cardinal Satolli.
The letter states that as general rule
Il cannot be permitted to allow ones
name to be retained on the membership
list and to pay dues. Il may be toler-
ated, however, providing the following
TOUR conditions are verified in each case:
'First-lf the member joined any of
these societies in good faith and before
their condemnation was made known to
him.
Second-Provided no scandal will oc-
cur and all danger of such shall be re-
---o' ~ ~ q LAluCly TO the
effect that the member pay his dues so
that he may not be deprived of the ben
efts accruing therefrom. The member
must, however, in the meantime alb
stain from all association or commin-
Cling with these sects
'Third-The renunciation must entail
upon himself or his family a notable
and serious loss.
tF'ourth-There must not be any dam
ger of loss of faith, either for the man
himself or for his family, especially with
regard to the circumstances of sickness
or death and every possibility of funeral
rites foreign to the Catholic ritual must
he removed"
These conditions" the letter says.
when they were made known to his
holiness, were fully approved and con-
firned. Since, however, the question is
most grave one and replete with diff
culties and dangers, and one which af-
fects nol only many dioceses but also
ecclesiastical provinces. the holy father,
TO the end that a uniform rule should be
observed. orders that IN particular cases
your eminence and your successors in
the apostolic delegation shall have ju-
risdiction."
