FOR chicago PRIESTS
New Catholic Archbishop
Revives Statute; Tendency
of Theatre Downward
HIS REASONS
FOR THE BAN

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Nows has
come from Chicago that. supplement
ing the ban on dancing issued by the
papal authorities at Rome. Archbish-
op Mundoleln. the newly-appointed
head of the Chicago arch diocese. aux
iliary bishop Of Brooklyn. has given
out an order prohibiting the priests
under his jurisdiction from attending
the theatre. Inquiry at The Cathedral,
says the World. disclosed the fact that
this rule is only a diocesan regula-
ton. which. II enforced, would only
apply TO the New York archdiocese. In
fact. IL is only the enforcement i'm Chi
cago Of the general law laid down by
the Council of Baltimore in 1886 for
The United States forbidding priests
to attend theatres.
Cardinal Farley at the last synod
held two years ago in New York call
ed the clergy's attention TO this law
on the church's statute books.
ut Is decreed that our priests must
never be present at horse racing or
public theatres and likewise ut spec
tacles known as operas"
This rule. however, in the arch
diocese of New York has only taken
the form of a recommendation and
has not been enforced under pain Of
ecclesiastical censure. and it is not
expected by the clergy that Cardinal
Farley will give any further attention
to the matter
I'm stating his reason for the spo-
cial ban on thcatrc-g going the Chi
cago archbishop said:
Tho tendency Of the theatre is
downward. The priests have enough
10 do in caring for their parishes,
ard, IL is not much OF sacrifice for
them to give up all attendance on the
theatre"
For instance declared the bishop,
81 am well acquainted with the author
OF one Of the popular plays shown in
Chicago theatres this season, and Z
could have had the whole theatre 10
myself had chosen TO go. But If
had gone out of friendship for the
author Catholics would have said
THE archbiship goes to tho theatre"
and theatregoers would have been
given full authority. The priests
have the same kind OF influence"
