POPE ON AMERICANISM.
Letter to Cardinal Gibbons
 Praises Catholics Here.
CRITICISMS OF "HEoKERs LIFE"

New DoctrinaI Ideas Condemned.
 Disciplinary Changes to Meet the
 Country's Customs Are Recognized
 as In Keeping With Precedent.
 Rome. Feb. 22.-The osservatore Ro- mano publishes a letter from the pope to Cardinal Gibbons. saying that If the term Americanism signifies qualities peculiar to Americans and usages adapted to their customs then we have nothing to say against 1t, but If 1t de- notes the opinions expressed in the Life of Father Hecker' we are convinced that the American bishops will be the first to reject them"
 The pope's letter especially reproves opinions concerning relaxation of dis- cipline and nonobseryance of doctrinal points as pretext for attracting dis senters to Catholicism, the direction of souls by inspiration of the Holy Ghost independent of priestly control the di- version of virtue into active or passive criticisms of the old religious orders and concerning unusual methods of preaching Catholicism to dissenters.
 The letter, which occupies five col umns In the Osservatore Romano, be- gins by lauding Cardinal Gibbons and the American Catholics. Alluding to the many proofs of good will he has given them in the past, the pope wishes them to see in the present document another proof of his affection for America.
 While he makes 1t clear that the let ter is one of warning and correction with reference to the Life of Father Hecker" his holiness carefully distin- suishes between the doctrinal aspects of the new theories and questions of practical discipline. He strongly urges the impossibility of any change in the former. While admitting that the church has always recognized and act ed upon the necessity of adapting cer- tain points of discipline to modern re- quirements 1t rests with the church, the pope points out, and not with in- dividuals. to determine how and when such adaptations can be made.
 "AIl virtues," says his holiness. must necessarily be active. The contempt shown by innovators for what they are pleased to call passive virtues has nat urally led to a contempt of religious life as suited only to the weak and as an impeachment to Christian perfection and to the good of the community"
 This error the pope energetically con- demns. declaring 1t injurious to the religious orders and in contradiction to history" He reminds the Americans of their indebtedness to the religious or ders, both active and contemplative.
 The letter arouses deep interest In Rome. The liberal papers declare that it constitutes a solemn manifestation of the intransigeant spirit in Cathol- icism" and predict that it will produce an immense effect in America.

Political Reason. For the Letter.

London, Feb. 22.-The Rome corre- spondent of The Daily Chronicle says: "The pope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons will possibly be exploited by the anti Americans; but, on the whole, 1t is not unfavorable to American Catholicism. On the contrary, one of the reasons which determined the pope to speak favorably of political Americanism is understood to be the existence of the religious crisis in England. He is well aware that 'Americanism' in this sense of the word has numerous partisans in England and that its condemnation would have produced a bad effect upon both Catholics and ritualists."
