MOVING PICTURES IN CHURCH
PROHIBITED BY A RECENT ROMAN
DECREE.

The Sacred Consistorial Congrega-
ton has issued the following decree,
which is of universal application,
against the giving of any kind of pic
ture shows in Catholic Churches:
During recent years it has hap
pened not infreQuently that scenic rep
reservations by means Of cinemato-
graphs and projections are held in
churches. But even though this has
been done in the pious desire of aiding
in the religious instruction of the faith
full, it has been seen to give rise
easily to dangers and inconvenience.
Since, therefore, number of Bishops
have asked the Holy See whether the
custom can be tolerated or should be
suppressed, the matter was brought
before the Fathers of the Sacred Con-
sistorial Congregation. These, cOnsid-
ering that buildings dedicated to God,
in which the Divine mysteries are
celebrated and the faithful stimulated
to heavenly and supernatural thoughts,
should not be converted to other uses,
and especially to scenic representa-
lions, respectable and pious though
they be, has decided that all projec-
tions and cinematographic representa-
lions whatever shall be entirely for
hidden. Our Most Holy Father Pope
Plus K ratified and confirmed the
opinion of the Fathers, and ordered
this general decree, forbidding such
things being done in churches, to be
published. All things whatsoever TO
the contrary notwithstanding"

The DaggerS That We're Not Blessed

the marriage but lure to gather to-
gether the heretics; that upon its
contamination the Pope ordered
TIE Deum sung in celebration. But
the record is all against this; there
is the report of Salviati, the papal
nuncio, written in cipher to the car
dinal secretary Of state, giving the
details of GATHERINGS intrigue, and
the request of the cardinal secretary
for all the information that could be
obtained. 1t is plain story, such
as any diplomatic agent might send
to his distant government; there is
nothing of jubilation in it, nothing to
indicate that religion had the slight
est part in it. There are the memoirs
of Margaret, Charles sister, and the
statement of the Duke of Anjou, his
brother, to his physician, all to the
effect that the plot was of sudden con-
ception and due to the growing as
cendancy of Coligny and the fear en-
tertained by Catherine and others of
the consequences of such an ascend
ancy. The TIE Deum story has long
had its simple explanation Rome was
celebrating the great victory of Lepan-
to over the Turks, and in the midst
OF the celebration came the version
of st. Bartholomew which GATHERINGS
prudence invented; it was merely that
the king had escaped assassination at
the hands of heretics, and that Condo
and Navarro had abandoned the.
Protestant cause and accepted the
ancient church. For that was the
TIE Deum chanted in Rome: the es-
cape of Catholic king and the acces.
sion of two powerful princes. Gather
ines courier had beaten the courier
of Salviati in the race from Paris to
ST. Peters.

the same moral code and God, in
justice, could not have placed the
same moral obligation on them if they
were essentially different. The
Church has always upheld the dig
nifty of women In fact, she has been
instrumental in placing her upon the
high plane from which many of the
so-called reformers of present day
would dethrone her. 2. The Blessed
Virgin occupies unique place in
heaven, because of the fact that she
is the Mother of the Eternal Son of
God. No other human being can
occupy this position in relation to the
divinity Your question seems to
imply that you believe the Blessed
Virgin owes her present high place
in heaven to the fact that she is in
some way divine person. This is
not true. Our Lord Himself is the
only being who possesses a human
and a divine nature. The Blessed
Virgin is in no sense of the word
divine She is a human being like
unto us, and the privileges she enjoys
and the position she occupies in the
Church and in Heaven are hers by
virtue of the exalted dignity of Divine
Motherhood conferred upon her by
God Himself

THE CHURCH AND THE RICH

In the first of a series of sermons
on '"The Church, the Bulwark of the
Republic" to be given in the Cathe-
dral of Boston during Lent, the Rev,
John O'Rouke, S. j., took for his
subject, "The Church and the Rich.
Father O'Rourke dwell on the dan
ger to the nation from the huge for
tunes accumulated by questionable
means and utilized for selfish inter
ests. He declared that avarice has
entered into the life of the people
and there is no vice like avarice in
the destruction of nation. The
remedy for this, he declares, is to
be found only in the teaching of
the Catholic Church.
What" he asks, els the teaching of
the Catholic church? Does the church
teach that man can't be rich? She
does not Every Catholic can make a
supreme effort to obtain wealth and
to acquire riches. The church teach
ing is that it is ten thousand times
better to die in poverty and rags
than have the wealth of Carnegie
and pay the price of sin for it's ac-
emulation. 1t is ten thousand times
better to die on Deer Island pauper
than to have the wealth of Rookie
Teller and pay the price of sin to get
it.
1--WE may acquire riches, but we
may not, in the effort to acquire
wealth, swerve, even by a hairs
breadth, from the law of Mount Sinai:
Thou shalt not steal
Besides that, the church teaches
that every dollar that a man has over
and above what he needs for his ra-
tional wants and legitimate recreation,
for the welfare of his children, for his
position in the society in which he
moves; every dollar over and above
that belongs to Gods poor. We are not
the owners of wealth. We are the stew.
ards, the agents. The clothing of man
and the sustenance of man and mans
material welfare God has put into the
keeping of his fellow man, and if some
have immense fortunes and others are
suffering from the pangs of hunger
that man with the immense fortune
has tremendous responsibility for
feeding the poor and clothing the
naked. That is the teaching of the
church.
Make that teaching the purpose in
mems lives, put it in their souls, and
we have done more for the upbuilding
of this country, we have done more
for the stability of fhe nation, we have
done more for the permanency of our
institutions, we have done more to
extinguish the fire of hatred which
exits between class and class, than if
we strengthen the police force, ex.
tend West Point or build battleships,
because we have impregnated mans
mind with the doctrines of Christ'a

1t should not be necessary to repeat
that no attention is paid to letters
which do not give the names of the
writers except to put them in the
waste basket without reading them.
We receive many letters signed "Sub-
scriber," "Reader," ETC., but they are
cast aside as soon as opened. This
explains why so many patrons of this
department wait in vain for an answer
to their questions. If they try to bear
in mind that we will not answer the
letters of those who do not sign their
names as an evidence of good faith, it
will save them unnecessary trouble
and worry.

He then describes the political stu
alton in France, and shows that the
massacre of st. Bartholomew Day
was the elimination of series of
political intrigues by the unscrupu-
lous Catherine de Medici. The
Huguenots we're not inoffensive citi-
zens. For years they had tried by
secret intrigue and open rebellion to
destroy the Catholic faith and over
throw the government, and in the
face of all this the Catholics displayed
an unusual spirit of forbearance.
When the massacre did take place,
how many Huguenots persisted? It is
now certain that the number was not
nearly so large as many. believe. This
is what Mr.. Coler has to say on this
point:
How many died? The estimates
vary. De Thou says, 10000; La Pope
Iiniere, 10000; Mason, 10000; Lin
gard, 1900. The author Of the
Huguenots martyrology gives an esti-
mate OF 10000, but when he gives
the figures by the cities and towns
where outbreaks occurred they total
5,16S, and when he attempts roll
of the martyrs of St Bartholomew
Day, he brings forth the names of
1853.
And now what part did the Church
play in all this? The story that few
through Protestant Europe was that
the Catholic Church instigated 1t; that
from Rome came the impulse; that
the massacre was long in preparation,

into this work with an enthusiasm and
zeal that insures the very best re
suits.
What is said in the foregoing applies
also to the crippled children at the
City Hospital While the attendance
has not been so regular in this case
due acknowledgment must be made
of the instruction given these afflicted
boys and girls in the building that
was formerly the State Hospital for
Crippled Children and is still used
for the surgical and more important
medical cases. Special thanks are
due Misses Busch, Kennedy and Foley
for the excellent work they have done
as catechists and true friends of these
little ones.
Financial Assistance Needed.
A letter lately received from a
Baltimore friend states that in this
old Catholic city many of the poor
Catholic children were being weaned
away from their church in conse-
quence of the well-intended activities
of our separated brethren" Jealous
lay Catholics realized something must
be done to stop the leakage. The
able President of the Particular Coun-
Gil of the St. Vincent de Paul Society
sent out call to forty Substantial
men. A meeting was held and an
organization formed to attend to the
corporal and spiritual needs of the
Catholic poor, who had been assisted
and ministered to by non Catholics.
At the head of this organization is
the Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte. Prac-
tical plans were made. 1t was decided
to request Cardinal Gibbons to appoint
Diocesan Director, who would work
with, and direct the activities of vol
unteer men and women. The secre-
tary is now collecting information
that will be of value to them in their
efforts to check the losses which the
Church is today suffering in our old
est episcopal city.
A short time ago Cardinal Farley
addressed meeting in New York and
urged his people to assist him in
trying to stop the leakage in that
city. He spoke about the great mum
Der of neglected Catholic poor who
are his spiritual children, for whom
it is his duty to provide. He declared
that he would sell his episcopal jew.
elry in order to provide funds to
carry on the work, if the needed help
were not forthcoming from other
sources.
Now that Catholics are beginning to
realize that the building and mainten'
ance of Catholic institutions is not all
that is required for the discharge OF
their full duty to the poor, it is being
borne in upon them that there are
a great many unfortunate families who
have been neglected. They cannot
close their eyes to the fact that much
more must be done than is implied
in the mere feeding and housing Of
the poor if we wish to save them tc
the faith. The opening up of settle
ments is a very effective means Of
cultivating a administering acquaint
ance with those who have been gradu
ally but surely getting outside the fold
Money is needed in every city to en-
able Catholic charity workers to dc
their duty to the INDECENT and to stoI
the leakage; but if help is not received
from our wellto-do co-religionists oul
spiritual interest in the needy will be
barren of the desired results.
