MUST BE A MISTAKE
Archbishop Irela nd Discredits Report
About Pope's G ra ntinpa Divorce.

st. Paul, MINI, Feb. 81 Archbishop Ire
land said yesterday that the report coming
from Halifax that Pope Leo XIII had
granted a full, or "a vinculo'' divorce, on
the grouId OF infidelity on the part of the
woman, was clearly misntcrpretationo Of
the facts in the case.
1T is certain" said the archbishop, that
no divorce has been granted on the ground
of infidelity. The positive, inflexible teach
ing Of the Catholic Church is that a valid
narria ge contract, duly consummat ted, can
not be annulled or made void by any author
fly in state or church, death alone terminal
iDl its obligations.
Where the Maria &c contract was from
the beginning null and invalid through some
natural or canOnical impediment, or was
never duly consummated, declarations of
nullity or dispcnsations may be and often
are obtained from ecclesiastical courts.
Nothing beyond this ever occurred, or ever
eau occur, in the Catholic Church"
