While his eminence Cardinal Moran
archbishop of Sydney, is awaited il
Rome on account of the sacred process
of the Venerable Oliver Plunket, it is OF
interest to learn that another and cele.
! brated cause has reached a most prom
istng penultimate stage. This is the
| process instituted for the beatificatior
| of the Venerable John Scotus, o. F. NJ.
| the doctor of the Immaculate Concep-
ton. Thanks to the devotion cherished
! in his own order for this historically
celebrated servant of God. and to the
energy in the promotion of the case
which has resulted from this, the cause
! of his Qualification by Rome has now
/ been secured, and it is only to be a
| question of immaterial delays hereafter
Side by side with Ireland may be
mentioned-in this connection country
| which has been most largely peopied
| by her children. The New World is
claiming its own and a share never
| before accorded to it by the sacred con-
gregation of rites. Recently and pre-
| viously, especially in 1898, the Irish
| Catholic has dealt with the prosecution
! of the cause of the Venerable John
| Nepomucene Neumann, c. S. S. r..
bishop of Philadelphia. All the local
or diocesan documents of the case were
brought to Rome a couple of months
ago by the secretary of the commission.
and about the same time some Ameri-
can Vincentian Fathers came hither in
order to set up the process of canonisa-
ton of Father de Andreis, who died in
the odour of sanctity at St. Louis in
1920. This priest of the Vincentian con-
gregation died at the age of 40. He
lived in the st. Louis diocese only four
years and spoke the language very i'm
perfectly. But, strange to say, he wax
reputed a saint by everybody in his
lifetime and since his death people
have persisted in the belief that he was
saint. He was vicar general of ST.
Louis and the first bishop of St LOUIS
wrote his life.
Fathers Solon and zelos.
The American Redemptorists are also
prosecuting the local preparations for
bringing before the Roman congrega-
tion the cases of two other members
of their institute. The first is the Rev
Father Solon of New Orleans, who died
a victim of charity during the yellow
fever epidemic in 1885. The second is
Father Zeelos who was born in South
Bavaria in 1919 On May Is, 1S43, he
was received into the American branch
of the Redemptorist order, and a year
later was ordained. He was stationed
for nine years in Pittsburg. He sub
sequently went to Baltimore thence to
Annapolis, and afterwards in various
places he was occupied in giving mis-
sions and retreats. In the beginning of
the year 1866 he was for a short time
stationed at Detroit, and in the month
of September of the same year he was
sent to New Orleans in charge of St,
Mary's church. He had not spent full
year in the ministry at New Orleans
when he was taken down with the yell
low fever, which ragged in the city. He
died on Oct 4, 1867, in his 49th year.
Nine. Duchesne.
Another candidate for the church's
honors is member of the religious or
der whose life was spent in America.
This is Mime. Duchesne, the promoter
of the Congregation of the Sacred
Heart. One of the miracles which are
being considered in the process of the
foundress, Nine. Barrat, happened in
the United States, and evidence about
