Rome. Jan. 1.-THE OsservatOre Ro-
mano of the organ of the vatican. today
published the text of an encyciical adj

brothers. the cardinals bishops and
clergy and the French people" In this
document the pontiff said his chief OBJ
iect in addressing the faithful in France
was TO comfort them in their sufferings.
which he felt deeply. There was. how
ever. great consols ton in the fact that
the Catholics OF France were united. The
French governments declaration of war
was not only against the Christian faith
but against all spiritual ideas The
French Catholics must be prepared for
all sorts Of trials. but they were Ger
tain of final victory. Contrary to state
ments on the subject the church did
not desire religious war involving vio-
lent prosecutions. Being a missionary of
peace and carrying out her mission loyal
", the church did not willingly expose
herself to war and prosecutions as she
did not desire TO zee her children suffer-
ing. Regarding the ecclesiastical proper
abandoned them The French govern
ment had imposed on French Catholics
an organization which tile church was
absolutely unable to accept without i'm
periling her existence as q divine iustitu-
zion. The church could not prevent the
unjust spoliation in progress. AS for the
proposed cultural associations. they are
contrary TO the ecclesiastical hierarchy
given to the church by the divine found
er himself and the pope condemned them
in spite of the material injuries involved
at the hands Of the government.
Beside. the law conferred on these
associations attributes regarding both
the exercise OF worship and possession
and administration of church property
which appertain alone to ecclesiastical
authority. Finally the associations are
not only withdrawn from ecclesiastical
jurisdiction. but are placed under civil
authority.

In each parish the priest will be in the

limitations. The new law aggravates the
law separating church and state We
can only condemn 1t with precision and
without ambiguity. Certain articles of
the law throw new light on the real aim
of our enemies. They wish to destroy the
church and de-christianize France with
