Archbishop Riordan to Make Known
Wishes of the Pope.
Catholic Universe.)

/
| From all indications We judge that
| New Orleans will soon have a success
! sor to the late Archbishop Chapelle.
Archbishop P. w. Riordan, of San
Francisco, has arrived in Rome on his
regular visit ad limina, and has been
| received in private audience by the
Pope. and has had several conferences
! with Cardinal Gotti project OF the Con-
gregation of Propaganda. 1t is under
stood there that the consultations in
cluded discussion of the appointment
soon to be made of an Archbishop for
/ New Orleans, and that Msgr. Riordan
is TO carry the Popes advice on the
subject 20 the meeting of American
ArchbishOps soon to occur in Wash
ington. Several weeks ago the most
available man for the place was be-
lieved to be Msgr. Broderick, formerly
Auxiliary Bishop of Havana. But he
has since been given special charge
of the placing OF the Italian immi-
grants throughout the United States,
and it is doubtful if he will be relieved
of that work, unless the Agricultural
Society, organized by him for the pur
pose, is found effective enough to
carry it on without his PERSONAL super
vision.
Another prelate now mentioned for
the New Orleans appointment is Msgr.
Blenk Bishop of Porto Rico, who is
favorably considered for the place be
cause of his knowledge of Louisiana
and his long service as parish priest
in New Orleans. He has many friends
in the Propaganda. Plus Y. is anxious.
to fill the vacancy at New Orleans as
soon as possible, but viii wait for the
action of the American Archbishops,
who will decide upon three names to
be sent to Rome in nomination be-
tween now and Christmas.
The custom adopted by the Vatican
authorities permitting the hierarchy
in England and America to have
voice in the selection Of bishops for
those countries. and making no ap-
pointment before three names are re-
ceived in nomination from those coun-
tries has proved highly successful. 1t
is likely TO be adopted for other coun-
tries in the near future. In fact, there
is already consideration given to the
possibility of appointing the new
French bishops by this method. 1t is
seriously proposed that after the aboli-
ton of the Corcordat, when the APP
pointment of French bishops will be
made by the Holy See without con-
sultation with government authorities,
the system now used in England and
the United States shall. be extended
to France. It is said also that the
Pope has planned to call national
council of all members of the French
hierarchy to discuss the new condi-
tions made for the Church in France
by the laws of separation, and that
the part that may be taken by the
present bishops in naming their col
leagues will then be discussed. Many
disciplinary measures will also be
considered at. the council, which will
provide new rules to meet the changed
conditions in the French Church.

Protestants and PuraatorY.

The other day, a London daily raper
printed an item which said that in the
course of a dedication service al the
parish church Of Shedfeld. on the
fringe Of the fruit growing district of
South Hampshire, the (Protestan)
bishop of Southampton declared that
they might pray for the spiritual prog
ress of their dear departed ones. as the
Jews and early Christians We're accus-
toned TO do. The intercessions, he said,
of those in Paradise had helped on their
friends. The London Monitor and New
Bra. commenting on this, said: I'VE
are glad TO see our Protestant friends
coming round to the view supported
alike by common sense. scripture.
church authority and natural feeling.
However the bishop or his friends may
hedge about the matter, his words
clearly mean that Protestants may and
do believe in Purgatory. There, can be
no spiritual progress in heaven, for
there the blessed have attained to the
utmost bliss; nor can there be spiritual
progress in he'll, for out of hell there
is no redemption. If spiritual progress
is TO be made, ii must. therefore, be
made in or from some third place, and
the Catholic name for that third place
is Purgatory."
