Which would be of more benefit to
soul in purgatory, one Requiem Mass
or five ordinary Masses?
Ordinary Masses may be Requiem
Masses. The Church does not pretend
to know just how far the application
of a Mass or. of Masses to the souls
in Purgatory benefits these souls. She
leaves that entirely to God Who in
His mercy disposes of their efficacy
as He wills. She knows and teaches
that the souls in Purgatory are helped
by our prayers and particularly by the
Holy Sacrifice; but as these souls are
no longer under her control she does
not determine when they have salts
fed for the temporal punishment due
to their sins or how many Masses are
necessary to free them from Purgat-
DRY. We know that High Mass
gives greater glory to God than low
Mass because of the ceremonial pomp
which surrounds it. And five Masses
said for a soul in Purgatory will
benefit that soul more than a single
Mass.
What is the difference between Car
dinaI Bishops, Cardinal Priests and
Cardinal Deacons?
Each Cardinal bears the title of
some Church in Rome. The Cardinal
Bishops are six in number and are
attached to the six Suburban Sees of
Rome. The Cardinal Priests CORES
pond in number and position to the
fifty chief pastors of Rome's leading
churches, and the fourteen Cardinal
Deacons correspond to others than the
foregoing who occupy positions OF
honor in the Church The Cardinal
Deacons, however, have also titular
churches. Hence the Cardinal Bish-
oprics are the titular prerogatives
of the following six Dioceses: Ostia
and Velletri, Porto and San Ruina,
Albano, Frascati, Palestrina and Sa-
bina. The titular churches of the
other orders of Cardinals would be
too long a list The difference between
the orders is merely one of rank and
plSC0uOlCS. IA D1OuOp VI p14OoI AAc1y
belong to any of the three orders, but
one who is only deacon cannot be-
long to a higher grade than the third.
No Cardinal, even if an Archbishop,
can be a Cardinal Bishop, as that
rank is reserved to the six old Latin
Sees already mentioned. Hence they
fall under titles of Cardinal Priests
or Deacons just as church becomes
vacant by the death of it's Cardinal
titular. In what is called Consis-
tory, the assembled Cardinals range
about the Holy Father according to
rank. The Cardinal Dean is always
the venerable Bishop of Ostia.
l. What is the present address of
Rev. Father Daarche, a Polish priest
who was stationed at Tyler or Tracy
about fourteen years ago? 2. Do the
Little Sisters of the Poor take in old
people of every denomination, and
what is their address? 8. What are
the oraneemen? Don't they dislike
Catholics?
1. Father Daarche's name does not
appear in the official Catholic directory
which contains the names and adj
dresses of all the priests in the United
States and many other parts of the
Catholic world. We have no other
means of ascertaining his present adj
dress. 2. The Little Sisters of the
Poor, whose address is 80 Wilkins
street, st. Paul, make no distinction
of race, religion, or sex when there
is question of admitting person to
their Home for the Aged Poor. The
applicant must be over sixty years
of age. In addition to the Home in
st. Paul, the Little Sisters conduct
Home for the Aged Poor at 215 Broad
way, N. E., Minneapolis. 8. The
ers of William of Orange who became
King of England, and who is regarded
as the champion of Professionalism.
They are said to have founded a
secret society, for the purpose of in
surfing the Protestant succession and
supremacy in England Branches of
this society are now established in the
United States, Canada, and elsewhere.
AS an organization the Orangemen
are not very favorably disposed
towards Catholics. In some places,
however, this hostility is not openly
manifested.
I. Why do priests and members of
religious orders not wear their cas-
socks, or distinctively religious habits
in the United States? 2. Would not
the wearing of the cassock in public
increase the respect of the faithful for
their priests and show more clearly
the difference between them and the
ministers of other religions? 8. If the
fear of ridicule on the part of non-
Catholics be the only reason why
priests do not wear the cassock in
public, why is it not the same for
Sisters of religious orders? 4. If there
is no danger of ridicule may priests
wear their cassocks in public? 6. Will
