Chief among the regulations" re-
ferred to and regarded as entirely at
variance with American customs is the
papal letter issued about year ago
calling for the re-establishment OF the
Gregorian chant in all of the Roman
Catholic churches and the elimination
OF women singers from the choirs. Sub
sequent to the issuing OF this order
meeting of the Archbishops Of the
country was held in this city to con-
slider the matter. At the close OF the
session Archbishop Messmer of Mil
waukee was quoted as having said that
there would be no changes In the music
of American Catholic churches for the
present, for it was the opinion of all
of the archbishops that under the pres
ent circumstances IL would be practi-
cally impossible to enforce the decree
Cardinal Gibbons was asked to writ
to the vatican of the facts which led
this decision. and to ask for advice and
a modification of the decree. which
would make its enforcement possible.
The archbishops then decided to do
nothing more in the matter until re-
ply should be received from Rome. At
the same time there appears to be some
dissension among the American bish-
ops. all OF them not holding out for the
decision of the Washington conference
but, on the other hand, appearing to
favor the literal enforcement Of the de =
cree from Rome. Thus. within the last
few weeks. Bishop Kelley Of Savannah
has eliminated women from the choirs
Of his diocese, and tentative step In
the same direction has been made BY
Archbishop Farley IN regard to the
choir OF st. Petrick's cathedral in New
York City.
