Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1907-05-21


The Gil Bias, Of Paris, in q three
column article headed "Holy Father,
Marry Your Priests" came out yester-
day with an almost sensational appeal
for the abrogation of the rule OF obliga-
tory celibacy for priests of the Roman
Catholic Church.
If the Gil Bias is to be believed, this
appeal is strictly and absolutely a Roman
Catholic view of prime importance 70 the
church Of France, and, consequently, to
the whole church of which France is
merely the elder daughter, for the writer
says that not only are the bishops Of the
entire world at the present moment So
licited upon this subject, but that be Is
able to publish the text of petition
which the Pope himself has received
from 5000 French priests and curates on
the abolition OF clerical celibaey.
The writer adds that 1t is believed that
other and similar petitions have been re-
ceived at Rome. He declares that the
siQners are known, and that they are all
priests past the marriage age, who speak
nowise in youthful warmth, but solely
out of the fuIness Of experience, weigh
ed with the responsibilities confession
has thrust upon them.
Some portions of the petition are
phrased too directly for publication in
American journals. The petitioners de-
clare that the abnormal lives led By the
priests hinder their power for good.
They declare that they speak out OF more
than twenty years incesssnt observa-
tiou and from their recollection as doc
tors OF souls.
"The abolition of celibacy," they
said, Sought to be decreed in accordance
with the desire of nineteen-twentieths OF
the clergy and ninety-nine hundredthi
OF French lsymen, after which would
arise a great shout of alienation among
the priests and the faithful.
"We should see a renewal of Catholic
life, and Immediately the face Of things
would change. Christian families would
be founded, children would arise pro.
foundly pious and devoted to the church,
aud the cause Of religion would take al
immense step in France.
"Tf, in place of abOlishiug celibacI,
the Pope maintains The status quo, we
will simply witness the ruin OF religion
and OF the church in France"
The Gil Bias says that if 5000 priests
dared address this petition to their mas
ter, whose absolute power they recognize,
one may affirm that $1,000 will follow
its issue.
