MGR IRELAND,S STAND.

The Observstore Il jmanoapublisnes
letter from Archbishop Ireland to the
Pope regarding the Pontif's recent
letter to Cardinal Gibbons on "Ameri-
canism"
The Archbishop thanks the Pope for
this proof of his esteem and love for
American Catholics and says now
that the Pope has shed light on the
situation, misunderstanding will cease,
for we are now able TO determine the
fault which some desire to conceal
under the name OF Amercanism ard
define true AmeFicsnism, such as is
understood by Americans" Continu
uing the Archbishop says:
The distinctions and explanations
connected in the apostolic letter are 50
clear and concise that the peril which
was not understood by oil the people
o. the United States, but which |
thought was to be feared, can no longer
present itself. In view of the extra
ordinary confusion of ideas and contro-
VERSES raised, especially in France, by
the Life of Father Hecker," there was
need for the supreme pontid to make
his voice heard in order to enlighten
and tranquillize the peoples minds"
with all the energy Of my soul |
repudiate all the opinions which the
apostolic letter repudiates and con-
demns, these false and dangerous
opinions, whereto, as his holiness in
brief Gays, certain people give the name
of Americanism.
l repudiate and condemn them cate
gorically, like mis- holiness, with all the
more promptitude and joy, inasmuch as
my Catholic faith and my comprehen
sion of the teachings and practices Of
the church have never permitted me to
entertain such extravagancies.
The whole episcopate of the United
States, in their own name and in the
name of their focks, are ready to repu
liate and condemn them. We cannot
but be indignant that such wrong is
done US, our bishops, our faithful and
our nation, as 10 designate by the name
OF Americanism such errors and ex-
travagancies.
"Most holy father, they are enemies
of the church in America and false in
terpreters OF the faith who imagine
that there exist, or who desire to es-
tahlish in the United States, a church
differing Il single iota from the holy
universal church, recognized by other
nations as the ooly church Rome itself
recognizes or can recognize as the in
fallible guardian of the revelation Of
Jesus Christ"
Archbishop Ireland concludes by beg.
ging the pope to accept his assurances
OF love and devotion and to give MIN
the apostolic blessing.
The archbishop has gone to Paris for
q few days.
