Clerical Anti-CeIibaoy Movement.

A clerical antl-celibacy movement is dc.
veloping in Italy, especially in the south
ern provinces, and attracts the attention
Of the vatican. Energetic papal measures
nre imminent to crush the movement, Such
a movement is not new In the church. II
exists more or less latently In all South
America ana several countries OF Europe,
especially Hungary. An ex-nunco says the
vatican Is obliged to take no notice Of the
irregular conduct Of the Hungarian clergy
to avoid possible schism, and several
eminent Catholics are now convinced that
the marriage Of priests is preferable to tile
present state Of things. 1t is-4lot likely.
however, that the vatican will at present
give way. although the church recognizes
the marriage Of priests among the 6,OO0,OOO
Catholics Of Oriental rites.
