The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1920-04-24

lHe past lew weeks. WnlCDy was ONCE |
the abbey of the famous ST. Hilda. 1t
is pity that the embarrassed owners !
of some of these ruins do not present .
them to the spiritual descendants of
their builders. They would not then
remain ruins, but would be gradually i,
restored to monastic life. This is
what is taking place at Buckfast. !
where the monks are rebuilding, stone |
by stone, and with their own hands, '
the ancient church and monastery.
Scotch Branch of Catholic Physi- |
cians.-A local branch of st. Luke's
Medical Guild of Catholic physicians
in Glasgow and the West of Scotland
has been formed, of which number
of Catholic doctors have already be-
come members. The good work which
can be done by such a guild in the
interest of preserving the proper
balance between medicine and Cath
Ollie faith and practice was pointed
| out to those who attended the meet
| ing at which the branch was formed.
SCOTS Descendant Dead.-A Cath
Ollie granddaughter of Sir Walter
Scott has just passed away, in London.
The death of this lady, the Hon. Mrs.
Maxwell Scott, plunges many Cath
Ollie families into mourning, as Ter
husband, the Hon. Joseph Maxwell,
was uncle of the Duchess of Norfolk,
and her half sisters are Mrs. Wilfrid
Ward and Lady O'Connor. Her son,
Gen. Walter Maxwell Scott, who holds
| the d. S. O. and G.. NJ. G.. succeeds
his mother as owner of the historic
| Abbotsford. Mrs. Maxwell Scott was
the daughter of Sir Walter SCOTS
granddaughter, who was in her turn
the daughter of his daughter, SO the
| female line is unbroken from the great
poet-novelist direct. Solemn Requiem
! Mass was sung at the Brompton Ora
| tory.
Red Trickery.-The Same Ruling
| Press which did not tire of rehashinS
atrocities reports ad nauseam during
the war is mum as mummy about
the war being waged against the
Catholic Church in various parts of
the world. Thus Swiss journal re-
Gently published report from Kron-
stadt that Roumanian agents had
tricked Bishop Glattfelder into con-
Tossing his friendship for his native
Hungary and then cOndemning him to
death. Only the Intervention of the
Red Cross and of some British officials
saved the prelate from execution. But
you will look in vain for such news
in the average secular journal in the
| United States.
Italian Catholics Active.-The ltal
ian Catholic Party is inaugurating a
| movement for the formation of an
international organization based on
| the Catholic program socially and pO-
litically as a means of counter balarc
| ing the Socialist Internationale, &C.
cOrding to the Rome correspondent of
the Echo de Paris. The first congress
of the Catholic Party will be held
either in Rome or in Paris this sum
mer, when policy will be drafted.
|
! intend to exercise greater influence in
both labor and legislation throughout
the world.
| Papal Message.-The Papal Nuncio
in Stuttgart, Germany, has received
! from the Cardinal Secretary of State
the following message in response to
the address of loyalty sent to Rome
| by the Catholic mass meeting held
in Stuttgart recently. 'The deter
mined and united stand of the brave
Catholics in the face of every attack
on the UNCONVENTIONAL school is edify-
ing and encouraging. The Holy
Father thanks God for this attitude
| and at the same time sends his greet
ings to the large assembly in Stutt-
CART. His Holiness also sends the
/ Apostolic Blessing"
Schools in Austria.-The Catholics
of Bregenza, Austria, have recently
met together in considerable numbers
| to decide upon a plan of action, to
meet the most pressing problems of
| the present day. SO far as these affect
Catholic conditions. The chief speak
err, Father FrOlich, S. j., delivered a
| trenchant speech, denouncing in Wig
orous terms the school regulations
made effective on April 10 of last year.
These regulations, he said, can be
traced directly to the action of the
| Austrian Minister of Worship, and
they are just try out for launching
a campaign against the confessiora al
schools.
Church Is Guarded.-Since the re-
cent outrage and act of sacrilege,
when the Catholic cathedral of St.
George at Southwark, England, was
broken into by thieves and the sacred
vessels stolen from the Tabernacle,
the clergy of the cathedral have or
ganized an armed guard to protect the
cathedral and it's contents at night.
More than hundred men of the con-
gregatiOn have volunteered for the
guard, and a vigil is kept every night
by two men, each carrying loaded
revolver and accompanied by three
watch dogs. They patrol the building
all night. The watch will be continued
until arrangements have been made
