'Mariolatry, of the Catholic Church

"Mariolatry" of the Catholic Church
One Of the important acts of the in
ternational congress held in August at
Fribourg, Switzerland, was the Unani-
nous adoption of the following declara-
ton:
This assembly of sodalitists in Fri
bourg lifts its voice aloud in order to
protest solemnly against the calumny,
three centuries old, that Catholics
make the august Mother of God an OBJ
ject of alteration The assembly, in
the name of truth and justice, de-
mands that this lie and calumny, sys-
tematically spread by official teachers
and masters of religious communities
separated from us, should at length
cease. 1t calls attention to the ire
futable truth that the Catholic. church
knows of no other alteration but that
of the Triune God and of Jesus Christ
our Lord, and that all love of and con-
fidence in the Blessed Virgin Mary is
strictly limited to such love and ven-
Grafton as, according to the words of
the Archangel Gabriel, the eulogy OF
st. Elizabeth, and the requirements of
reason itself, is owing TO a creature
who was elevated to the position of
Mother of Jesus Christ, and to whom
even an apostle was committed from
the cross as a child to its mother
This solemn and explicit deciara-
ton" remarks the London Tablet,
deserves the serious attention of many
of our separated brethren, who still
have lurking suspicious of the
Mariolatry of the Catholic church.

MGR. Falconio Unfair.

Mgr. Falconio, the new apostolic
delegate TO the United States, appar-
entity does not share the fears of those
who discern heretical and dangerous
tendencies in such Catholic organiza-
tions as the knights of Columbus.
Speaking recently at a farewell recep-
ton held in his honor at ottawa by the
local councils of the last named society,
Mgr. Falconio said:
1T pleases me to see enrolled under
Your flag people of every nationality.
This is truly a Christian brotherhood
bound together by the sacred ties of
religion and patriotism. Here you need
this unanimity of sentiment for the
welfare of your beloved country and for
the sake Of that peace and fraternal
love which are the true distinctive
characteristics of Christian souls. For
such union Christ our Divine Lord
prayed and prayed fervently. His di-
vine words before his passion and
death cannot easily be forgotten. Holy
Father said he, keep them in my
name whom thou hast given me that
they may be one as we also are" These
words of our Lord, though addressed
TO the whole human family. are ap-
plicable in particular manner to those
fraternities which spring up among the
children Of the church, for works Of
beneficence and charity. BY such union
you beget strength and your institu-
ton will be able to- accomplish very
much good. Remember that the
apostolate of the laity is not a novelty
in the church. 1t has existed in all
time since the first days of Christi
anlty."-Monitor.

Bishop Jansson Not to Resign.

The statement that the Rt. Rev. John
Jansen, bishop of Belleville, Ills, had
sent his resignation as bishop to the
pope, with a view of entering a Fran
ciscan monastery, is denied by Father
Hagan in the following letter to the
press:
THE rumor that the Rt. Rev. John
Jansen, bishop of Belleville, has sent
in his resignation and that as soon as
he was formally released by the pope
he would retire to a Franciscan mon
astery, is absolutely without founda-
ton. The entire rumor is a pure fabri-
cation, and there is not a grain of truth
in it. The reasons given for the extra
ordinary step to be taken by the bishop
are groundless and false. The bishop is
not in feeble health, as was reported,
but, despite his sixty-two years is full
of vigor and fully able to attend to his
episcopal duties. That the bishop
should be sorely troubled on account of
factions in the diocese is utterly false,
since there is full harmony of action
between the bishop ond his clergy"

DR.. Bououillon,s Fame.

November, the month of the dead,
witnessed the passing of three dis
tinguished Catholic scholars: Arch
bishop John Mac Evilly of Tuam. who
wrote learned commentaries on the
epistles and attained the good old age
of S5. Cardinal Masella, the best, or
next to the best, theologian of the Sa-
cred college, and our own DR.. Bouquil-
Ion. better known and more honored
among European scholars than among
the wise men of his adopted country.
This humble priest, despite much evil
dence to the contrary, was a prodigy
of erudition. He knew books, and wrote
books in his day. Serious students of
theology easily acknowledge that his
was a mind of exceptional depth, clear
ness and vigor. His writings on funda-
mental theology are voted of great au-
thority by the professors of the con-
tinent, and his reputation, though
fiercely assailed by his intellectual in
feriors, did not suffer much where his
real merit was known. Perhaps he
wrote inopportunely. The public was
not prepared for his most Catholic
views on educati~n, but he had behind
him the approved writings of the first
i1eologians of the church. The Lyceum.
tie organ of the Irish Jesuits, one of
The ablest and most meritorious Cath
Ole journals ever published in The Eng
lish language, declared, when interest
seemed to point the other way. that
DR.. Bouquillon's fame had advanced
rather than declined through means of
the unfortunate controversy which was
supposed by some to have invalidated
his claims to sound Catholic scholar
shin. But DR.. Bouquillon was right
He doubtless preferred to be right
rather than popular, and, with Ham
let. cared more for the approval of the
5udicious than for pitsfull of bowling

The MRed Mass, in France.

If there be much to grieve the Cath
olic heart in contemplating the state
Of affairs in France, there are also some
CLEANS of consolation on the other
hand. Thus the suppression by the
French government of the red mass
the mass of the Holy Ghost, which
used to be celebrated in the Sainte
Chapelle at the opening of the law
courts term-has only led to striking
demonstration that the religious spirit
is not yet extinguished in the breasts
of the magistracy and lawyers of
France. On the 9Th inst, Cardinal
Richard arranged to have a red mass
for the. legal profession celebrated at
the Church of St. German ! AuXer-
rois, when upward of 600 of its mem
bers of all ranks assisted in a body,
the church being crowded in every part
by their relatives and friends. The at
tendance was more numerous by so per
cent than at the celebra ton held in the
same church in January last.

Iesuits Nav Return.

There is said to be good prospect
for the repeal of the law which forbids
the Jesuit society to return to Ger
many. A dispatch from Berlin tells of
a definite statement made by Cath
olic journal that the present reichstag
will pass another resolution asking the
government to repeal the law against
the Jesuits.
The dispatch further states that. the
action of the government is understood
to be due to compact with the center,
or clerical party, in return for the lat
ter's support of the compromise tariff
