Rome Dec. 10.-The "Osservatore Romano"

circular The paper adds that the minister de-
sired, by insisting on the applications pro-
vided by the law Of 1881. to be able to say to the
Catholics that the Vatican had indirectly ac-
cepted the Church and State separation law.
The "Osservatore Romano considers that the
position in which the parish priests placed
by the minister's circular is intoerable and
says that the religious buildings. instead of re-
manning the property of the clergy for year,
are now left TO the MAYORS, who must rent then.
The situation is considered be most grave.
The French clergy have informed the Vatican
that they ready to submit to all the penalties
involved in noncompliance with the law in
Guiding imprisonment rather than yield while
the Vatican openly announces that il is ready
face the abandonment of public worship and
the holding OF private religious services if the
priests and their fiOcks obliged TO abandon
the churches.
Speaking of the actual situation in France the
Pope to-day expressed his grief at the neceS-
sity of having recourse to extreme measures
and he explained they could not be avoided.
Nothing will stop us, said the Pope neither
persecution martyrdOm in protecting our
religion. our cause is Gods cause"
II is said that the Pope feels absolutely as
sured that no member Of the French clergy will
finch in doing his duty.
