A Significant Ruling.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Information was
obtained to-day that Rome has jus,
transmitted to the Catholic church in
the United States the most significant
ruling of recent years bearing on &c
ciesiastical matters in America. The
decision, which has reference to par
ishes made up Of foreigners, is as fol-
lows: "Children born in America OF
foreign parents whose native language
is not the English, and Catholics not
born in America, but knowing the
English language, have the right OF
becoming members of the parish in
which English is in USE" The evident
purpose OF Rome is to make English
the language OF the American church.
Parishes in which foreign language is
used will disappear as soon as the con-
ditions making their erection %expedient
will have passed away.
