POPE'S CONFESSOR DEAD
FATHER ROSA HIGHLY ESTEEM
ED IN ROME BY MOST DISTiN-
GUISHED MEN.

After long and fruitful life in the
Society of Jesus Rev. Luigi Rosa has
gone to it's reward, loved and mourned
by ecclesiastics of Rome, in his nine
tieth year 1t was not a varied life.
The career of the great Jesuit may be
said to have been passed within the
confessional. Rich and poor, lawyers,
doctors, journalists, mean learned and
unlearned, might be seen daily around
the box of the gentle old man, so mild,
so profound, in the Church of the Gesu,
Wts4Cer aud summer.
Father Rosa was born near Tivoli,
Rome, in July, 1928, and thus almost
rounded out his nine decades. In
March, 1850, he entered the Company
of Jesus. In the Eternal City Cardinals,
Bishops and priests sought his con-
fessional. Among the young prelates
who were among Father Rosa's peni-
tents many years ago was a certain
Monsignor Della Chiesa, who even then
had become a man of mark in the
great world of Rome. When the Con-
clave of 1914 elevated Cardinal Della
Chiesa to the Chair of Peter, one of
the new Popes first acts was to send
for the aged Jesuit and appoint him
his confessor. as<.

Another Church Struck
NEPHEW OF FRENCH BISHOP Is
AMONG VICTIMS OF GERMAN
LONG RANGE GUN.

Another church was struck by a
shell from the long range gun in
Paris recently and blood was shed
although the victims were of course
not so numerous as on Good Friday
Amongst the victims of the latter hor.
ror was young nephew of the Bishop
of Troyes, who makes the twenty
ninth member of the Bishops family
to perish in the War.
During the present serious days
which Paris and all France is expert
encing the religious fetes of the
Ostensions have commenced. These
fetes, which occur every seven years,
consist in the exposition for fifty days
of all the relics of the Saints, during
which period special prayers and de-
Votions are made for the intercession
of the patrons of the country. 49,.
One diocese after another takes up
the Ostensions, and the people throng
to the churches to pray to the Saints
of the various parts of the country,
and appeal to them for a renewal of
that protection which they have
vouchsafed in the past. Naturally at
the present time the Ostensions take
on new significance.

Bad taste and bad morals have a
certain connection. 1t is bad taste, as
we all know, to shock the sympathies

Cardinal Newman said that the first
quality of gentleman, whether Chris
tian or Pagan, was not to give pain,
he laid down a principle which is
thoroughly consistent with the prac-
tice of Christianity, when no great
principle is involved; but when oaths
are spoken and blasphemy uttered,
sometimes very lightly, in the pres
ence of little children, the human be-
ing who does this falls immeasurably
below even the Pagan standard of
Gentlemanhood; and we know what

WILL OF MILLIONAIRE BROKER
PRIEST HELPS ORGANIZA-
TlONS.

Generous gifts to religion are made
in the wills of John B. Manning, aged
broker, and the Rev. Michael C. O'Far-
rell of New York. Mr. Manning left
$4,000 to the Catholic University at
Washington, D. c., to be used to train
young men for the priesthood, while
$25, 900 each went to the ST. Vincent
de Paul Society, st. Vincent Hospital,
and the Apostolic Mission House. The
Cathedral College got $4,000, and
$4,000 each went to the Seamen's
Catholic Mission, ST. Francis Hospital,
st. Joseph Hospital, and the Mission
of the Immaculate Virgin Other
gifts were $4,000 each to st. Joseph
Seminary and the Church of the Good
Shepherd; $4,000 to Misericordia Hos
pital, and $1,000 to the Church of the
Holy Trinity.
Father O'Farrell, who died January
4 last, gave the bulk of his estate of
more than $25,0OO to Catholic organi-
zations His library, known to be one
of the largest owned by priest in
New York, was left to st. Joseph Semi.
nary at Dunwoodie. Among his gifts
were $4,000 to the Church of the Holy
Innocents, of which he was pastor;

After great anxiety in London on
the part of Catholics, it has been de.
cided to drop that portion of the new
Military Service Bill which relates to
the conscription of the Clergy. Mgr.
Hewlett, Administrator of Westmin-
ster Cathedral, wrote a letter to the
press recounting what Catholic priests
had already done. and pointing out the
hardship inflicted unnecessarily on the
faithful, if it was thought necessary
to take the older Clergy and set them
to work of non-combatant character
which could be done by anybody.
1t was stated in the House of Com
mons that the Government proposed
to consult with the heads of each
church how best to apply the new
regulation. But Sir George Cave said
that, having regard to the need for
the service of Ministers of religion
at the present time, and the results
in men which the measure applied
would give, it had been decided to
leave the Clergy of all denominations
exempt for the present.
Mgr. Hewlett insisted the priesthood
is class set apart, and it is not
fitting theoretically that they should
take up arms, while, practically, it
would have left a large majority of
the Catholic population without the
Sacraments. The Government ac-
knowledges that where spiritual as
sistance has been withdrawn from a
district the results have not been
happy.

CATHOLIC INFLUENCES

of wife and children is far more often
in the forefront of danger. In ninety
nine cases out of every hundred when
chaplain~is found in the front line
he is a Roman Catholic padre. One
has only to go through a hospital
among the returned men to ascertain
their views on this point. Other chap
lains find themselves reduced to the
role of good-fellowship, presiding at
canteens, distributing cigarettes, writ
ing letters, organizing concerts: in a
word, they cheer the living but are
able to do little for the dying.
On the other hand our priests stand
frankly for the supernatural: 81 have
known conversions entirely due to a
comparison between the clergyman
who, before an attack, went among the
men giving out tobacco, and the priest
who, to the kneeling rows of Catho-
lies, impaired Absolution; between the
Presbyterian who cheered his men to
courage by the jest that even if they
didn't all come blackwell, Glasgow
was overcrowded,' and the Catholic
priest who could make his men exult
even in the prospect of dying now that
they carried Christ within them"
In word, the men now recognize
that the Catholic Church is a going
concern" working proposition" 1t
is surely a cause of joy to our brave
chaplains that their heroism has had
such a reward as this. Those who
mourn for dead friends among the sol
dier priests have their consolation.
| The harvest is great; how great we
shall not know yet. But who can
doubt that it's greatness-all that has
already been reaped, and all that the
| future will bring-is in a very full
measure due to the heroic devotion to
their duty which was so conspicuous
i in our padres as to win them the ad-
miration of men who were trained
from their youth to hate the Catho-
lie Church. Do we not already see
some signs that others besides our
selves are beginning to awaken to the
fact that after the war the Catholic
i Church will be canger, not to civili-
zation, not to truth, not to religion, but
precisely to those whose cardinal doc.
trine is to be anti-Catholic?

MASS WINE In DANGER
THE SACRAMENTAL WINE DIFF

on May 1 heard arguments in the
case of the bone dry" prohibition
law. Very Rev. Urban de Hasque, D.
D., Chancellor of the diocese of Okla
homa, sued the Santa Fe Railway Co.
for failing to deliver a shipment of
wine for sacramental purposes. The
lower court decided against Father
de Hasque, who appealed.
Arguing before the Supreme Bench,
the Attorney General took the posi-
tion that, according to the bone
dry" law, possession of wine, even for
sacramental purposes, is prohibited
The attorneys representing Father de
Hasque contend that the right to
practice ones religious belief is at
stake.

THE TEMPORAL POWER

issue? Isn't it a fact that you Catho-
lies must believe in the temporal
power of the Pope?" | answered his
question substantially as follows:
1t is not true that any official teach
ing of the Church obliges Catholics to
hold that the Pope is entitled to tenn
poral power. Nevertheless, loyal and
intelligent Catholics cherish the per-
sonal opinion that the Pope should be
the sovereign temporal ruler of the
City of Rome and the environs with a
free outlet to the sea. For centuries
he was the sovereign of such dis
trict called the iPapal States. In 1870
Italy nnjustly robbed him of this dis
trict.

THE CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN is A
GREAT FORCE FOR GooD-HIs
INFL UENCE RECOGNIZED BY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ALL
WHY PRIEST SWAPS HEARTS
AND MINDS OF ALL.

Father Martindale contributes an IN
teresting paper to the London Tablet
in which he reviews the chief means
through which the influence of the
Catholic Church is brought to bear on
nom Catholics at the front. He sug-
gests that the war, ploughing down to
the elemental passions of manhood,
also leaves exposed the more emotion
al part of the soul and disposes men
to receive new influences. In this way
a religious fact will be able to pene-
trate into the depths of a heart that at
ordinary times it could never have
touched.
The influences that may have such
effects are chiefly the following: First,
on the Western Front the men are
in contact with Catholic people and
Catholic habits and practices are re-
Vealed to them in a new light. The
wayside shrines, the crucifXes, are for
the first time intelligible to men to
whom their message is under the
circumstances singularly direct. Sec
ondly they become familiar with our
deyotions. Masses and prayers forthe
dead become significant for them, and
the doctrine of Purgatory becomes an
obvious truth. The teaching of a
Church which holds that the comrades
whom they loved are not only in Pur.
gatory, but there may be actually help
ed by their friends on earth, appeals
strongly to non-Catholic soldiers
Thirdly, with extraordinary eagerness
non-Catholics ask for medals and pic
lures of the Sacred Heart and of our
Lady. Many, too, have insisted on
having with them Catholic men ano
officers merely because they are Cath
olics. Fourthly, the example of oul
chaplains appeals to the men in favor
of the Catholic religion.

DISTINGUISHED DIPLOMAT NOTES
REVIVAL OF REVERENCE IN
AMERICA - MAURICE FRANCIS
EGAN, AMERICAN MINISTER TO
DENMARK, WRITES OF HIS I'M
PRESSIONS.

Writing in the Holy Name Advocate,
of Philadelphia, Maurice Francis
Egan, the noted author and statesman,
says:
For nearly eleven years have been
exiled, to a very pleasant country tbs
true, from my native land, and COM
ing back, notice enormous changes,
and one of the most marked is the
growing spirit of reverence for higher
things. A sign of this. which l am
happy to record, is the disappearance
of what in older days might have been
called the fine art of swearing. There
was a time when many Americans rip
pied out oaths almost uncOnsciously;
but one seldom hears in any society
of men, or even in the streets, the
blasphemy that used to make a rev.
erent Christian shudder.
Among Catholics, not of the Latin
races Tin whose languages certain
oaths seemed to be imbedded), the
practice of swearing by the Sacred
Name seems almost to have disap-
peared.
In Europe, among people who really
count, one never hears an oath, and
as a corollary, the risque story, which
formerly occupied much attention
among men after a dinner party, is
looked on as in bad taste. l have al
ways greatly admired the phrase put
up very visibly at the Gridiron Club
dinnprS-"The aides are ALWAYS with
U.s."
A more useless, more offensive
habit-leaving out the question of
morality, than that of swearing by the
Holy Name probably never existed.
For the non-Christian it means a
gratuitous insult to the conviction OF
nearly every man around him, and
even a direct and insulting challenge
to his unknown God. For the Chris

MARRIAGES CONTRAC
STEALTHILY WITHOUT PRIEST
AND WITNESSES CONSIDERED
NULL AND VOID BY CHURCH
EXPLANATION OF NEW LEGIS-
LATIoN ON SUBJECT.

The word clandestine is in itself
(and more especially in it's applica
ton to marriages) of sinister import
1t means ''furtiVe," secret" hidden ;
observes The Echo. When applied tc
marriages, it means that they are not
performed in the presence of the
proper ecclesiastical authorities and
with suitable witnesses-in facie &C.
clesiae, under the eyes of the Church
as the Synod ,says-but stealthily, be-
fore magistrate or non-Catholic min,
lister or without two witnesses.
One of the most important works
undertaken by the Holy Council of
Trent CA. d. 1916 to 1563) was the
reformation of matrimony. 1t SAYS,
speaking of clandestine marriages
the Holy Church of God has always
for most just reasons abominated and
prohibited them" (Sess. XIV, Cap
- 1t laments that, because of the
dlsobedience of men, the mere prohi-
bition of such marriages did not avail
to prevent them and their attendant
evils. The Holy Synod devised two
means of combating the great evils
OF such marriages, namely CD the
proclamation of the banns and (2) the
law of clandestinity
The Council enunciated the law of
clandestinity as follows: "Those who
shall attempt to contract marriages
otherwise than in the presence of the
parish priest Cor other priest with the
permission of the parish priest or of
the Ordinary and two or three wit
nesses, the Holy Synod makes entirely
incapable of so contracting, and de-
crees that such contracts are invalid

ages become null and void and the
resultant union an unlawful concubin
age
1t was necessary, however, that this
law be promulgated or published in
each diocese before its enactments be-
came binding in that particular place
Hence there were many difficulties be-
cause the law was promulgated in
