irreligion and materialism con-
tanned in such an artificial de-
struction of the human remains.
The following summary Of the
Church's legislation in regard to
the cremation Of the human body
shows that the Church authorities
in st. Louis were justified in re-
fusing to recognize the claims of
the deceased to the last Sacra-
ments and to Christian burial. L
Catholics are forbidden to be mem
bers of any society which pre-
scribes the cremation Of it's mem
bers' bodies. 2 A Catholic is for
hidden to order his body or the
body OF any one to be cremated.
3-The last Sacraments are to be
refused to any one who insists
that his body shall be cremated
4-Those who, Of their own free
will, chose to be cremated and per-
severed in this choice until death
are denied ecclesiastical burial.
Mass shall not be celebrated
publicly for such person, but it
may be said privately. 6-The
Church rites may be performed
at the house and in the church
for those who are to be cremated
by the wish Of another, but no
sacred rites are permitted at the
crematory IF the person was
ignorant of the Church s prohibi-
ton, and willed his body to be Gre
mated, he may be given Christian
burial. Where a will was made to
have ones body cremated, and
where the dying person revoked
it openly, but could not change the
will before death, it is permitted
to give such person Christian
burial.

SATURDAY. JUNE 8, 1911.

The Churchman, an Episcopal
liam publication, declares that
Professionalism today, whatever it
may have been in the past, is
neither a faith, nor a system of
theology, but a point of view. -
Commenting On this statement the
Boston Pilot says: "Christianity
is more than a mere point Of view,
it is a faith because Christ consti-
tuted it a faith. " All of which
goes to show that, in order to rec
oncile these statements, we are
forced to the conclusion that there
must be vast difference between
Professionalism and Christianity.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-06-03

1t may be we'll to call the atten-
ton of parents to the fact that,
according to the new regulations

THE CHURCH AND CREMA

The last rites of the Church and

a physician Of st. Louis, Mo-, who
had frequently expressed a wish
that his body be cremated, and
whose wife had promised that his
wishes in this matter would be
carried out. It is said that his
wife, when she made the promise
was not aware of the penalties
under which the Church forbids
such a disposition of the human
body after death.
The Church has always been
opposed to cremation, as a general
rule, not because of any explicit
condemnation of the practice
founded on divine law, but be.

PETER PENCE FROM THE
CLERGY.

At the recent meeting of the
Most Reverend Archbishops, held
at Washington, it was decided to
ask the Bishops and priests of the
United States to make a special
offering to the Holy Father to
swell the amount of Peters Pence
contributed this year when Italy
is celebrating the semi-centennial
of the confseation of the estates
of the Church. This offering is to
supplement I the usual Peter s
Pence collection taken up in all
the churches of the United States
annually for the support of the
Holy Father.
In this connection the Most Rev
erend Archbishop has issued let

wrong, that it is not the Sisters
alone they are attacking, but rath-
er the great and benefcent Church
which in this particular they rep
resent. That charity which takes
the fallen and sinful and endeav-
ors to lift her up to plane Of use
fulness and womanly virtue is dis
tasteful especially in its success.
1t is a comfort to know that the
men Of the jury were alive to the
falsehoods Of the detractors, and
came forward to exonerate the

The bold and aggressive char
acter of the propaganda carried on
by the Methodists in Rome is
shown very clearly by an incident
which occurred during Holy Week
in st. Peters. While the Holy
Week services were in progress
Methodist emissaries mingled with
the worshippers and distributed
tracts in which the Catholic
Church was referred to as the
'papist church. " One of these
tracts contained the following
statement: Dear reader, the
great need Of our times is that
men should know the doctrine
of Christ and be no longer
hoodwinked by those who want
to pass as His ministers. "
Those who worship in St.
Peters are told how they may
acquire the faith which is not
blind" This campaign of mis-
representation and calumny is
carried on by sect calling itself
christian! One would think that
the Methodists in Rome would
have realized long before this that
their efforts to convert the Ital-
ians are destined to prove futile.
1t costs money to keep up this
continuous propaganda; and, no
doubt, large proportion of the
funds necessary for this purpose
comes from this side of the water.
It would be interesting to know
what our American Methodists
who are sincere in their religious
convictions think about the tao
tics of their brethren in Rome
who seem to have eliminated a
very important commandment
from their code of Christian eth
les.

st. Paul in which he says: I'm
the past few years number of the
priests of the Diocese Of st. Paul
have been doing what the priests
of the whole country are now
asked to do-making a personal
offering to the Holy Father. In
this and in coming years, the list
Of priestly contributions, I ear
nestly hope, will record the names
of the entire clergy of the Do
cese. No one will miss from his
store, however scanty it may be,
the sum of ten, or-if, in particu-
lar cases., this is too much-fve
dollars; and, meanwhile, a great
and holy purpose will have been
served-the unity Of ones own
priesthood with the supreme
priesthood Of the Sovereign Pom
tiff will have been accumulated and
made into living active feeling.
The offering Of the priests will be
sent to the Holy Father separately
from that of the laity, and a spe-
cial blessing in their favor will be
asked in recompense of their gen
erosity.''
This individual offering on the
part of the clergy will be a tangi-
BILE expression Of their attachment
and devotion to the person Of the
Holy Father and a manifestation
Of filial piety which will prove
very acceptable to His Holiness
during this year in which the jubi-
lee celebration Of a United Italy
recalls such sad memories to the
mind of the Sovereign Pontifff.
There can be little doubt that the
special offering from the Hierar-
chy and priests of the United
States will be worthy of the occa-
sion which calls it forth.
