MESSAGE TO FRENCH CATHOLICS.
Heads Of Church Say Separation Law De
privos France es Religious Liberty.
SDectdf Cable Ds,odtch 10 TwN SIN.

Special Cobs Despatch TO TUE SON.
PARIS, Sept. 1s.-The Figaro publishes
the text Of q pastoral letter addressed
to the clergy and the faithful of France
by the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops
who met In Paris TO confer upon the
Church and State separation aw and the
Pope's encyEosl upon It.
The letter begins BY declaring that the
hierarchy accepts the words Of the Holy
Father with hlial obedience, afirms the
union Of the clergy around the Sovereign
Pontiff and repeats that the separation
law ignores the Catholic hierarchy. The
Pope, says the letter, pointed out that he
had no choice but 10 condemn the law.
In this his Holiness had no other object
in view than the salvation Of the Church.
Continuing the letter says the Bishops
and Archbishope have no concern say
that France shall not only AVE the name
Of being a Catholic nation but shall ave
true liberty Of religion. They have nothing
TO do with political interests. All they ask
is that the Constitution OF the republic shall
not contain f~alsehoods that are anti-Chris-
tian. They desire to wash their hands
Of all responsibility for the calamity that
is threatening France. The separation
law, IL Ia declared, deprlVes France not
only OF its name Of a Catholic nation but OF
true religious liberty.
After expressing the hope that France
may be spared a religious war. the letter
goes on to say that il the separation Of
Church and State shall be carried out at
all costs Catholics ought at least to be
allowed the use Of the church properties
which belong to them and enjoy common
liberty as it is enjoyed in really free ooun-
tries. II an attempt is made, contrary
to the wishes Of the head Of the Church,
to establish congregations which can he
Catholic in name only, none OF the faithful
will join them. The priests have submitted
to spoliation and poverty rather than be-
tray their trust, and all Catholics are there
fore bound, according to their means, to
support the Church and the clergy.
