THE seossERvAToRE ROMANO"

And so, after all, it appears that the
"Osservatore Romano" is not the OF
fetal organ of the Holy See. This Will
be bit of surprising news to the Cath
Ole world, which has long looked upon
this publication as the official organ of
the Holy Father Heretofore anything
that appeared in its columns was taken
unhesitatingly as the official pronounce
ment of the Vatican.
Recently, however, this supposed Of
fetal organ voiced some sentiments
which were naturally taken to be ex-
pressive of the Pope's attitude toward
Great Britain and the British Catholics
in regard of the war which England
is now waging.
At a meeting of the British Catholic
Union, held last week, the President,
the Duke of Norfolk, read some CORE
spondence exchanged between himself
and Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secre-
tary of State.
The Union had requested the Duke
of Norfolk to interrogate the Holy See
in relation to the anti-British tone
commenting on the Boer war. The
paper is supposed to be the Pope's Of
fetal organ, receiving a financial sub
sidy from him. The Duke of Norfolk
wrote:
To US it seems very grievous that
any opportunity should be given to any
one to persuade the British people that
the Holy See regards them with hos
tility or dislike. I cannot deny that an
impression of this secret is creeping
into the public mind. When it is re-
membered that Catholics are in the
minority in Great Britain, it will, we
think, be admitted that in the freedom
of our religion, in the great question
of education and in matters of re-
ligious ministrations to soldiers and
sailors we need not fear comparison
with other countries in which Catholics
form the great majority
To which Cardinal Rampolla cordially
replied that the Osservatore Romano
only printed one column which was Of
fetal, and this was devoted to religious
news, adding his refusal to accept re-
sponsibility for any political views 1t
might Express, and declaring that the
"Holy Father always cherishes for
England that lively special interest
which he has already found many oc-
casions of displaying" and that ''as
vicar of the God of peace, he desires
nothing more earnestly than a cessa-
ton of the actual state of things which
costs the English nation so many vic
Tins"
In future, therefore, the "Osservatore
Romano, when spoken of as the off
cial'' organ of the Vatican must be con-
sidered so only in Pickwickian sense.
AS the Cardinal Secretary of State
points out, one column alone is to be
official. We presume that is the col
umn which corresponds to the column
in some of the official organs in Amer
lea, which scrupulously announce to
the faithful that the 8 o'clock Mass
on Sunday will take place at 8 o'clock
and that Sunday school occurs on Sun
day. The poor "Osservatore Romano!
No longer shall it glory in diplomatic
mystery

A QUESTION OF MORALS.

(Rev. DR.. Lambert, in the Freeman's
(Journal.)
In his article in the Independent on
the religious problem in the Philippines,
DR.. Schurman says: ct would be highly
impolitic to send missionaries of differ
ent denominations to confuse the minds
of the philippine people. 1 do hope
that when we send missionaries we will
decide on some form of Protestant
Christianity Send only one type of
missionaries The Filipinos will then
have Catholic Christianity and Protest
ant Christianity presented to them, so
they can take their choice"
Perhaps the most striking thing
about this proposal is that it is made
without any apparent sense of shame.
1t is a deliberate proposal to deceive
and mislead the Filipinos, made in ut
ter disregard of the principles of moral
integrity by one who poses as a teacher
of a higher morality than that taught
by the Catholic Church.
Besides the moral obliquity it evil
dences, the proposal is absurd. The
Methodists or Presbyterians, for in
stance, who profess belief in the divin
ity of Christ, could not consent to the
sending of the Unitarian type Of mis-
sionary, who denies the divinity of
Christ. Nor would the Unitarians agree
that the Methodist or Presbyterian type
should be sent as the exclusive repre-
sentativeS of Professionalism to the Fill
pinos. The Baptists would object to all
of these, as none of them insists on i'm
mersion.
If it were DR.. Schurman'S purpose to
give the Filipinos a correct idea of Pro-
testantism, he should advise represent
atives of every sect to be sent. Only in
this way can the F'ilipinos get a correct
idea of Professionalism. Of course it
would shock them and determine them
to have none of it; but it is necessary,
if you would give them proper and
true data for a comparison between
Catholicity and Professionalism. DR..
Schurmans plan is immoral, because
by it's very nature it must deceive and
mislead the Filipinos. 1t would repre-
sent to them that Professionalism is
united body believing the same doc
Of this. DR.. Schurman would begin
the enlightening of Filipinos by deceiv-
ing and misleading them as to very
fact. This is why we have
said above that the strangest thing in
his proposal is that it is made without
any apparent sense of shame, or with
out anything to indicate that he had
the most remote suspicion that there
was anything in it to be ashamed of.

Institutions It has been said that this
will prove a blow to their work. but
recent expressions go to show that the
danger has been overestimated At
any rate, the brothers will obey the
law.
In one Of the most unpretentious lit
tie side streets Of the west end of Lon
don there is one Of the most famed. and
fashionable of Catholic churches in
that city. 1t is in Farm street that the
Jesuit Fathers minister to a large and
distinguished congregation. 1t was
originally built in 1849, and is now for
the third time being enlarged. The
site was originally purchased from the
Duke of Westminster at a cost Of e20.-
0OO and since that time some adjoin-
ing ground has been secured at consid-
cradle expense. The new wing, it is
estimated, will cost e19,OOO.
Monsignor Sbaretti, the newly ap-
pointed Bishop Of Havana, arrived on
Saturday morning and landed at
o'clock. A procession was formed and
the Bishop went to the Cathedral,
where he was formally installed. Many
clergy went to meet the preIate. There
was no demonstration.
MonsignOr Sbarettf saws it is too early
to give an opinion in regard to his new
Office. He pleaded, however. that the
Catholic Church is cosmopolitan, and
that questions of nationality do not en-
ter into it.
Bishop Santander went to Governor
General Wood to make a farewell call,
and also to ask that he insure the pro-
lection Of the new Bishop from insults.
Washington, D. c.. Feb. 26.-CardinaI
Gibbons is preparing to vacate the
archdiocese temporarily, with the view
of visiting Rome and other points in
Europe. The present visit of the Car
dinal will be memorable in religious
annals. for at the dedication and SOL
emn opening of the new cathedral at
Westminster, England, on June 20.
Cardinal Gibbons has been invited by
Cardinal Vaughan to preach the in
augural sermon. In order to sing pom
tifcal mass at the Baltimore Cathedral

ample time to reach Rome for the ap-
preaching canonization of Jean Bap-
tiste La Sale founder of the Christian
Brothers. on May "a Bishop Alfred
Curtis, Vicar General of this archdio-
cese. will administer it's affairs in his
absence.

Twenty-third Error.-'The Roman
Pontiffs and Ecumenical Councils
have usurped the rights of princes. ex-
ceeded the limits of their powers. and
erred even in defining matters of faith
and morals
Refutation.-What rights did Roman
Pontiffs and Ecumenical Councils
usurp? Without an army and with
comparatively insignificant resources,
how were they able to overcome the
mighty ones of the earth and rob them
of their rights? "Ah," say our adver-
saries, sit was. by abusing their spirit
ual authority and imposing upon the
ignorance alike of peoples and kings"
But did the Popes possess a monopoly
of knowledge in those dark and ig-
norant ages? Were there not learned
apostates from the ranks of the regu-
lar and secular clergy, who would have
been only too glad to enlighten the
temporal rulers as to the abuse of the
spiritual authority and the pretended
usurpations of Rome? That they did
not fail to do this the prosecutions
suffered by some of the Roman Pom
tiffs at the hands of certain monarchs
are a sufficient proof But even in
exile and in chains. the Vicar Of
Christ still continued to condemn the
tyrannicaI exercise of the royal pre-
rogative and all injustice of whatever
kind; and his voice was eventually
heard and obeyed. What does this
prove? 1t proves that he spoke the
truth and proclaimed the right; and
this truth and this right dispelled the
clouds of calumny with which his en-
enies sought to envelope him, and by
a virtue peculiarly their own, pene-
trated the minds and hearts of men,
Overtaking the sophisns of ambitious
prelates, anti-popes and the schismat-
zeal participators in the assemblies
held at Worms, which launched de-
crees of deposition against those great
Pontiffs, Alexander 1. and George VI.
The latter died in exile because, as ne
himself said, he loved justice and
hated iniquity in other words. iniqui-
ty triumphed for a time over justice
which he defended against all the
power of Henry II.
The Roman Pontiffs invaded no
rights, usurped no prerogatives; they
merely acted in accordance with their
duty as the common fathers of Chris
tendon, and in virtue of the express
authority reposed in them by princes
themselves. In those days monarchs
preferred to place themselves under
the protection of the Pope, rather than
be obliged to involve their subjects in
continual warfare. They really be-
came vassals of the church, we'll know
ing that under the protecting aegis of
her authority they would be secure
rom the attacks of ambitious neigh
bors. Thus was formed that law of
nations which constituted the Pope the
supreme arbiter of the disputes which
arose between different states, or be-

Priests Minister to a Dying Man, Sur
rounded By Crowd of People In
the Street.
In the center of a large crowd, some
kneeling reverently, others gazing NOR
bidly, two priests on an afternoon last
week administered to a man who had
fallen near the bottom of the stairs Of
the uptown station OF the Second ay-
enue elevated railroad. New York City.
A policeman sent to Bellevue hospital.
and DR.. Graham Rogers responded in
a hurry. While awaiting the ambu-
lance the crowd gathered The two
priests had just come from the Green
point ferry. Seeing the crowd, and
seeming to grasp the situation, they
hurried forward and to the injured
mans side. They glanced at him for
a second. Then one of the priests
caught sight of little brown ribbon
which came just over the edge Of the
mans shirt.
HE is a Catholic, father he said to
his companion. See, he wears soap
ular."
Instantly the priests knelt beside the
unconscious man. The crowd fell back
reverentially, the Catholics uncOverinS
and joining silently in prayer. 1t was
a strange scene. Overhead the eleVat-
ed trains ratified. Electric cars went
changing by. Out of half a hundred
tenement windows men and women
looked down upon the picture.

A CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.

1 feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of a priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
to solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected win
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing
my seal and signature. Should any one
be found engaged in doing this unlaw-
ful work of collecting without such a
document, he or she, as the case may
be, should be regarded by all as a fraud
and an imposter. L. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

THE FRIARS IN THE PHILIP
PINES.


Rightly or wrongly, the administra-
ton of the Friars in the Philippines is
a question continually brought forth
and made to appear paramount to all
other considerations in those islands.
Such beng the case, the question is one
Of vital interest to the Catholics of the
United States, whose duty it is to con-
Germ themselves in seeing that the gov
eminent at Washington shall deal with
the Catholics of the Philippines, both
the clergy and the laity, with strict
impartiality and absolute justice.
So varied and conflicting are the re-
ports of the administration of the
church's affairs by the Friars, that
come to US from different sources that
it is a most difficult matter to discern
the exact condition existing III the ISL
and of Luzon.
Some time ago, on information fur
nished us by Father McKinnon, we
made some deductions which now we
are inclined to modify. This is owing
to the fact that Father McKinnon is
not, in our judgment, a safe guide in
Mr.. Mckinley is concerned, for he is
now an army officer, and according to
reports existing in the army, an
avowed candidate for some Bishopric
in the Philippines.
Whatever the situation is, in salty.
we had hoped that Archbishop Chap.
pelle, the apostolic delegate, would
Il Tod
prevail of all commemorative Catholics
in the Philippines as well as the Amer
lean people in general. A combination
OF unfortunate circumstances seems to
have rendered the Archbishop's mission
imperative, or, at least, to have made
him a persona non grata to the rank
and file Of the Filipinos.
Notwithstanding this, we still hope
that Archbishop Chappelle will so
compose matters as to render his mis-
sion fruitful
Briefly stated, the trouble seems to
come from an irrevocable desire on the
part of the Filipinos for a diocesan. or.
as it is commonly called, secular clergy.
While they are said to be determined
to accept none but such a clergy. and
unreservedly demand the withdrawal of
the Friars. they are firmly insistent on
remaining loyal to the church.
A writer, whom we consider the most
impartial that has yet written on this
subject, speaking on this very point,
says:
Upon no other question which con-
Germs the Philippine islands do touch
with so much of hesitation as upon
that which is really the most import
ant, the religious question. This has
been, and believe it still is, the key
