Father John Wynne Editor of the Catholic Encyclopedia Says Count
Boni Will Lose Suit in Decison-Dcusses Mixed Marriages
Between Catholics and Professionals

would have little to lose and perhaps
more to gain by making the emphatic
declaration which would unite the knot
which still binds her to Count Castel-
lane. Partisan society Is very strict in
its observance OF Catholic rules, and at
present rather more 50 than before the
separation Of State and Church. In the
eyes Of the noble faubourg Miss Gould
Is still the wife of Castellane, and she
Is not received as the Duchess de
Talleyrand.
As the Countess de Castellane Anna
Gould found the doors OF the old aris-
tocracy reluctant to open at her APP
proach. She had overrated Count Bonls
standing considerably and discovered
that the nobility of the empire to which
the Castelane family belongs counts
for next to nothing with the old nobility
of France. Count Boni's election to the
Chamber of Deputies, due TO the money
with which the Count purchased as
many chimes as there were churches in
the extreme poor and scantily popu-
lated district Of the Basses- Apes, which
he represented. failed to extend the
Countess's circle OF acquaintance be-
yond some politicians and miscellany

There was another half-Amerlcan
marriage, an exchange OF money for po-
sltlon, recently referred to in the papers
apropos OF the prospective union OF
Miss Salto and the Prince di Rospig-
liosi-that of Joseph di Rospgliosi and
Mrs Parkhurst, formerly Miss Reid OF
New Orleans.
Mrs. Parkhurst was a divorcee. and
consequently the Catholic Church re-
fused to sanction her marriage to Ros-
pigliosi. Roman society, as rigidly Cath
ole as can be found. never recognized
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-07

But Mr.. Parkhurst, as I remember,
objected to the allegation and declared
that he was n Christian and baptized,
even though there was no record to
prove II. Written records are perish
able and are not demanded to prove the
performance Of a sacrament. Mr.. Park
bursts declaration was sufficient to
prove him "A Christian husband-any
Christian creed or denomination being
recognized 10y the Roman Church in
such Cases-and this made tn Catho-
lie rcmdrrllgc of his separated wife an
impossihlity. When Rospigliosi was
dying the conditions were in no way
altered and a dnathhed marriage was
therefore quite as much out of the
question as their union had been here
tofore according to canon law
II have been personally associated
with very similar case here in New
York. \ Catholic wanted to marry a
divorce, who had become Catholic
also, The former husband did not
want To stand in the womans way and
declared that he had never been chris
tened. His declaration was substanti-
ated by his family and numerous wit
nesses. There was apparently nothing
to prevent the Catholic marriage.
al the last moment. however, the
Archbishop of New York sent special
delivery letters to all the vestrics re-
guessing research to be made in the
various church records. Ii was found
that the man had been baptized, and
the church had to refuse its sanction
to the new union. A civil marriage was
performed and the couple obtained per-
mission from the church to live in the
same house, but only as companions.
not as man and wife.
Whatever impression some European
news offices may want to create among
the public there Is no doubt that the
Church Of Rome uphods the observance
Of canon law as strictly, as unfalter-
ingly, now as ever There IL no power
on earth, neither money nor worldly
position, thai is allowed to sway the
ancient rules"

the American Princess. The birth Of
two children only made matters worse.
The Rospigliosis were forced to retire to
the country, and eventually they sepa-
rated. IT was reported that recon-
citation was effected when the Prince
was dying, and even that n Catholic
deathbed marriage took place, on the
ground Of the Pauline privilege.
Questioned about this case Father
Wynne said:
II know very little about it, but |
can assure you that IL he marriage
was considered impossible until the last
there could not be any deathbed mar
riage either. The considerations that
would have permitted It would have
been just as valid before, and regard
ing the sacrament of marriage the
church knows no compromise.
1.-THE Pauline privilege IL much mis-
understood and misinterpreted. This is
the text on which 1t is based-l Cor,
vii.
"l2. II any brother hath n wife that
believeth not. and she he pleased to dwell
with him. let him not put her away.
"13. And the woman which hath an
husband that believeth not, and IL he be
pleased to dwell with her let her not
leave him.
IA For the unbelievlng husband is
sanctihed by the wife, and the unbeliev-
ing wife Is sanctfed by the husband; else
were your children unclean; but now they
are holy,
40. But II the unbelieving depart let
him depart. A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases: but God
hath called us to peace.
"Canon law interprets II thus: II
one Of a married couple Is a Christian
and the other motif the unbeliever in
terferes with the religious practices OF
the Christian-there has been no true
marriage sacrament and the Christian
In free to choose another mate.
"In the Rospigliosi-Parkhurst case
understand that Mr.. Parkhurst was
said never to have been baptized. II
this was so Mrs. Parkhurst could leave
him, a non-Christian, and marry again

Gould but living in concubinage."
What Is the reason" Father Wynnc
was asked, for Miss Gould's refusal to
have her first marriage annulled? II
would leave her free to become. In the
eyes of the Catholic Church and of
Catholic society, the wife Of the man
whose name she bears now only Clvuly.
Is 1t because, II her Castellane marriage
were invalidated, her Castellane children
would thereby become lllegitimate in
the eyes OF the church,"
81 hardly think so. The children
would DE Immediately, and by special
act, legltimzed by the Church. That
does not present any difficulty, on the
contrary, under the existing conditions

the Duke de Talleyrand- PerlgOrd, Is

tion of elementary honesty. She made
"A contract. a verbal one, but none the
less binding to an honest man or woman,

not want to accuse Miss Gould Of any
petty motive, such as spite.
1.-THE Rota will render n final decision
this coming fall. You will see that the
marriage will be upheld and that Count
Boni will lose his suit.
Yet even when the verdict Is given,
II does not become definite before an
other year has elapsed. If during that
period new evidence Is brought up, the
judgment is still subject to revision.
Consequently, Miss Gould will have an
other year to consider and possibly
change her mind. But she has been so

Rota tribunal. But Miss Gould has re-
fused to declare herself in this sense
ever since the beginning Of the suit.
She has, indeed. opposed Castelane's
allegations that such were her thoughts
even though not her words. Now that
she has stepped out of the proceedings
entirely, the Rota has just one thing to
so by. that Is her one and only clearly
expressed intention to take Bonn de

PLANS SUBMITTED
FOR FEDERAL PARK

Chicago, H., Jan. preliminary
plans for the Federal league plant to
be erected on the north side were sub
mitted to President Weeghman of the
Chicago club by Architect 2. T. Davis
yesterday and inspired the approval
of the local club owner and also of
President .Gilmore of the league.
The plans as drafted are for a single
deck grandstand giving seating ca.
pacity of 10000. of which 5000 will be-
box seats. Pavilions at either end of
the main stand will give an additional
capacity of about 1000, and with the
bleacher space available it is expected
Mr.. Davis can provide seats for 10000
persons and still leave a good sized
playing field, besides space enough out
side the stands on the corner of Ad-
olson and Clark streets for stores
which will bring good rents.
