scanneII's Position.

Bishop Scannel today talked freely
OF his action. He said that he would
take no steps in the matter, declaring
that the Catholics who participated in
the wedding ceremony and also those
who attended the reception following
were equally culpable, and said that
they had communicated themselves
by their action in the face of the warn
ing issued by himself last Sunday
The pastoral of Bishop Scannell dis
cussed the laws of the Catholic church
In the matter and closed with a para
graph. evidently directed at the forth
coming Pritchett- Kennedy wedding, at
which it had been announced several
prominent Catholics would be present
and participate which explained the
reasons FOR the issuance of the Eas-
toral. II recited that any cooperation
Of Catholics is unlawful and was an
act OF sin. and that any attempt to
question IL on the grounds of modern
usages could not stand because the
law OF morals never becomes antiquat-
ed and that the divine prohibition to
put asuuder those whom God has
Joined together is as binding today as
IL was twenty centuries ago"
