who defended it's Catholic members
who have taken the obligations of the
union.
Bishop Scanned said he had not con-
demned the union in the diocese and
that he had been misunderstood if not
misrepresented.
He said he had been asked by a re-
porter his opinion Of the oath and told
him. in substance that the oath in it's
natural and obvious sense could not be
lawfully taken by any Catholics.
That, he said, was his whole action in
the matter and asserted that his opin.

cation is unchanged.
