CHURCH RULE SUPREME
FATHER BASILIUS SAYS IT MAY
REGULATE MARRIAGE.
Matrimony Is a Sacred Contract and the
State Nay Prescribe the Civil
Effect Only.

APPLETON, Wis, Sept. 21.-[Spe-
ciaI. THAT the church has the right tc
say no even when the state says yes"
is in substance the declaration of Father
Basilius, member of the Capuchin Order
OF Monks, the first of its kind to be es.
tabGshed in this part of the country. The
statement is made in Il treatise written
by Father Basilius regarding the recent
encyclcal issued by the Pope on the mat
ter of modernism and the church law re-
gardIng marriages and engagements. He
says i'll part:
But has the church the right to de
clare certain marriages invalid, even
when the state says they are valid? Yes
she has. Marriage is not a mere con-
tract; 1t Is something holy and has been
regarded as such even by the heathens
of old"
After citing authorities to prove that
marriage Is something removed from the
mere hand of man, Father Basilius con-
tinueS:
Since it is something religious. holy,
even sacrament, it is subject to the
church and she has the power to insti-
tute matrimonial impedimentS and to dis
penSe with them. In fact, as the mar
rlage of Christians is a sacred contract.
TINS power belongs to the church eXclu-
SlYely. The state can have no control
over sacrament. The state can regulate
the civil effects of marriage. for these
lie within its province, but these effects
are independent of the sacrament"
Father BasiliuS declares that the new
order will work no change upon the faith
tu!, deTout, church-going Catholics, and
says it is better for the church to be rid
OF those who do not wish to comply with
every requirement.
