GERMAN AFFAIRS
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN VATE
CAN AND GERMANY FAVOR
ABLE.

Mgr Pacelli has been in Berlin, and
has now returned to Munich. He has
been negotiating. new arrangement
with the German Government. Under
the new German Constitution each re-
ligious body may choose its own Min
lister of Cults. This necessitates the
modification of the Bull, DE salute
animarum" of 1921, which provided
for the Kings consent to all measures
regarding the cults before they could
become law.
1t is understood that unanimous
agreement has been reached between
the Roman Curia and the Assembly of
Federated States. At present there is
only one representative for all the
German States accredited to the Vati-
can, but Herr Bergen, the first min
lister of Prussia to the Holy See, has
gone to Rome and is taking up his
residence at the Palazzo Buonaparte
Baron Won Rutter, Minister of Bavaria
to the Holy See, is already in resi-
dence in Rome: so it is hardly likely
that the representation of all the Ger
man States will be merged in one
representative.

DEPLORES EVILS OF MODERN

ISSUES TIMELY LETTER ON
{ PREVAILING SPIRIT OF IRE
2 LlGION.

Cardinal Santos Henry Y Almaraz,
Archbishop of Seviglia, Spain, recent
ly published a special circular and ad-
dress to the priests of the Archdio-
cese in which he lays stress upon
the duties of parish priests as indi-
Gated in the New Code of Canon Law.
In conclusion the Cardinal makes ref
erence to the trend of modern amuse-
ments and fashions in dress, to which
the Bishops of the United States,
France and Ireland have often re-
ferred. He says: .as-
"We must add something on mat
ter of great delicacy, subject which
requires careful treatment, but yet
which we cannot ignore since we. see
modern society making gigantic
strides towards destruction. Nothing
else could be expected from the fever
for amusement and sightseeing
most of which is immoral fever
which is SO contagious as to have
spread to the smallest and most dis

much as our great cities. The life o1

Bishops Pastoral is Announced

the organization through which the
Bishops conduct affairs of national
bearing, the Bishops and pastors of
the country are urging the Catholic
people in every parish throughout the
land to go to Holy Communion on the
day the Pastoral Letter is read, to
pray for the intentions of the Holy
Welfare of Church and country.
The pastoral letter was written
along lines laid down by the Bishops
at their general meeting last Septem-
Der. 1t takes a comprehensive view
of the world situation, and insists that
reconstruction shall proceed on sound
principles, and not along lines of mere
eXpediency. 1t emphasizes the need
of justice and charity, and shows how
both are to be applied to the practical
confront all civilized nations. In the
light of these fundamental principles
of justice and charity the Pastoral Let
ter will discuss the problems of mar
riage and divorce, industrial relations,
national conditions, and international
affairs. 1t lays stress on education as
a means of reconstruction, and sets
forth the principles on which it should
be conducted. 1t exhibits the power of
Christianity as an absolute necessity
for human welfare. Pointing out the
vitality of the Catholic Church, espe-
cially in America, it also shows clear
ly the benefcent action of the Holy
See.
The active cooperation of American
Catholics with the country during the
War is briefly related, and then the
letter explains the organization af.
fected by the Hierarchy of all Catho
lie agencies through the National Cath.
olic War Council, and shows how this
organization is to be perpetuated in
the National Catholic Welfare Council
The letter concludes by strongly in
sisting that each individual must dc
his or her duty as a Catholic and a
citizen in order to secure permanent
peace.

The recent trials in Budapest have

Peoples Commissars used every con-

Some of the Communists in the Kun

to observe the law of fasting.
8. Those excused or dispensed from
fasting may eat meat at all meals on

The Church excuses from the obli-
CATION of abstinence:
l. All children until the completion
of their seventh year.
2. All who by reason of sickness
and enfeebled health cannot observe
the precept.
8. By special Indult granted to the
Bishops Of the United States, dated
March Is, 1895, working people who
cannot easily observe the common
law of the Church are dispensed from
the obligation of abstinence (but not
of fasting) on all days of the year,
except Fridays, Ash Wednesday, the
Wednesday in Holy Week, the fore
noon of Holy Saturday and Christmas
Eve. This dispensation includes not
only the individual workingman in
whose favor it is granted but all the
members of his family as we'll.
The Church expressly recommends
that all who for any reason are ex-
cused or dispensed from fasting or
abstinence should practice mortifica-
ton in eating and drinking according
to their ability. They should also
substitute for the fast or abstinence
some pious work such as attendance
at the Lenten devotions and the Sta
tions of the Cross and almsgiving to
the poor.
Those who doubt whether they are
excused from the observance of fast
ing or of abstinence should consult
their confessor, who is the proper
Judge in such questions, and is also
empowered in individual cases to dis
pense from fast or abstinence for
valid reasons.
BY special Indult the time for COM
plying with the precept of Paschal
Communion extends from the first
Sunday in Lent to Trinity Sunday, in
clusively.
