THE HOLY YEAR.

/ NC accomplished Cillely DIT IeOl4O
is indeed appropriate in the highest de-
gree to the divinely appointed dignity
ana to the larger gifts of the Beloved
City. For this is the common country
OF all Christians, whoever and wherever
they may be; it is the chief seat of Sa-
cred Power, and the everlasting guar
dian of the doctrine handed down by
God; and from here, as from the sole
and most venerable source, life is trans
mitted perennially through all the veins
of the Christian Republic. 1t is, there
fore, highly proper that at the call OF
! the Apostolic See, Catholics Should
! gather here at certain intervals, in or
! der that at one and the same time they
may find in the City remedies suitable
for the publication of their souls, and
by their presence, acknowledge the au-
! thority of Rome. So salutary and pro-
fltable does this seem, that we earnest
ly desire to behold multitudeS throng-
ing Rome during the entire coming
year; and to offer additional incentives
TO those wishing to make the pilgrim
age to Rome, we will that the privileges
Which are freely granted by the indul-
gent liberality of the Church, for the
eXplation of sins committed, be sus-
pended; that is to say, as has been the
custom of Our Predecessors in similar
cases, by Our Apostolic Authority we
suspend the usual indulgences during
the entire Holy Year; with, however
the prudent modification and qualif1ca-
ton hereinafter described:
We Will and decree that there shall
remain intact and unchanged:
l. Indulgences granted in artfculc
morris:
II. The Indulgences which, by the
authority CT Our Predecessor, Benedict

while standing or kneeling, the Angelic
Salutation, or other prayer proper tt

III. The Indulgences of ten years ano
ten quarantines granted in 1876, by the

decree of Our Predecessors, Innocent
XI and Innocent MI, to those who ac-

ers on such occasions:
V. The Indulgence heretofore granted

VII. The Indulgences of privileged
Affairs for the faithful departed, and
others granted in the same manner fOl
the deceased alone; and, also, whatso-
ever indulgences may have been grant
ed for the living, but with the express
proviso that these shall be applied di-
rectly by way of suffrage to the dead
We will that all and each of these shall
not avail the living, but the dead.
We ordain and decree the following
regulations concerning faculties:
L The faculty is ratified and contin-
ued by which Bishops and other Ordi-
naries of places grant the Indulgences
in articulo morris, and communicate
the same faculty according to the let
ter given by our predecessor, Benedict

II. The faculties of the Tribunal OF
the Office of the Inquisition against
heretical perverseness, and the facul-
ties of its officials are ratified and con-
tinued; likewise, the faculties of Mis-
sionaries and Ministers who shall have
been deputed. either by this Tribunal
or by the Congregation of Cardinals
entrusted with the work of the Propa-
CATION of the Faith, or who shall have
been otherwise deputed by the Apos-
tolic See; especially the faculty of alb
solving from heresy those who have
foresworn their error, and have re-
turned to the Faith:
III. The faculties are ratified and
continued, which the Office of Our
Apostolic Penitentiary has conceded to
the Missionaries, to be used in and for
the benefit of their respective Mis-

and other Sacred Prelates in the mat
ter Of dispensing and absolVing their
subjects in secret cases, even in those
reserved to the Apostolic See. in the
manner provided for by the Holy cOun-
ell of Trent, or otherwise, even in pub
lie cases, by the common Ecclesiastical
Law. and by the Apostolic See for GER
tain persons and cases. We decree the
same with regard to such faculties of
Prelates of Religious Orders as may
