Court Defines Church Rights.

The supreme court handed down a
decision denying court examination of
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer,
Milwaukee, in the case brought
against the Catholic prelate and a
number of Catholic bishops by the
Kuryer Publishing company. Miiwau-
kee is justifiable. The case arose over
the issuance and circulation of a pas
toral letter by Archbishop Messmer
and Bishops Schwebach, Els. Fox and
Schinner. forbidding Polish Catholics
to read or tolerate in their homes the
paper published by the company. The
Kuryer company entered suit for dam
ages, and the court holds that the
churchmen acted within their rights
as the letter simply forbade the read
ing of the paper, a matter of church
discipline, and did not mention COM
mercial contracts or business rela-
tons.
