New Law on Marriage.

Rome, Aug. 28.-Within few
days an extraordinary sensa-
tional and revolutionary law,
interesting all Catholic clergy
men and laymeu in the United
States and affecting all Catbo-
lies in America. will be promul-
gated by the Vatican authOri-
ties.
Until now the church law has
been that American Cath olics
can contract marriage validity,
although illicitly, by gong be-
fore a justice or even before a
Protestant MINISTRY when duly
licensed by the civil authorities,
but under the new law all these
marriages will be regarded as
null and void among Catholics.
The new law, which is con.
tanned in a decree of the con-
gregation of the council drafted
by the special request of HIS
Holiness Pope Plus x, ordains
that from next Easter no mar
riages among Catholics shall be
valid unless they are contract
ed before a duly authorized
priest in the presence of two
witnesses.
There will be only two excep.
tons to this law, whic h is to be
universal for all countries of the
globe. The FIRST is that when
there is imminent danger OF
death and no duly authorized
priest is obtainable, then any
clergyman can perform the GER
emony in the presence of two
witnesses. The second is decid.
eddy revolutionary. 1t is that
when there is no priest obtain
able in the district a man and
woman may contract a MARI.
age that will be valid merely
by announcing their consent or
intentions in the presence of two
Witnesses.
