CRUC|FK IN CITY HALL LETTER TO THE EDITOR
OUR LADY OF LOURDES AND
FATHER IRELAND. .>..
Feb. II, 1920
To the Editor:

Feb. II, 1920
To the Editor:
Celebrating today, the GID anniver-
sary of the first apparition of the
Blessed Virgin to Bernadette at Lou
des, and reading the beautiful Office
and Mass of the Feast, both composed
by Pope Leo XIII himself, thought l
would tell you that we have in the
U. S. today SO churches dedicated to
Our Lady Of Lourdes, and one in
Alaska. But, one thing that is inter-
esting to Minnesota Catholics, is that
the very first church so dedicated was
the one at Minneapolis, and this is
how it happened.
In 1874, Bishop James O'Gorman, the
first Vicar Apostolic of Nebraska, died.
The attention of Rome had been cast
upon the young, talented and Jealous
pastor of st. Paul Cathedral, Father
John Ireland; so after a short time,
the news came of his selection as sue
cessor to Bishop O'Gorman.
Bishop Grace, who in those days al
ready relied much on Father Ireland,
and was building on him great hopes
for the future of religion in Mime
sofa, could not bring himself to be
resigned to the loss of his best work
er; so, at once he sent to Rome a petit
ton to have the appointment can
celled, and Father Ireland given to
himself as a coadjutor. To make his
plea stronger, the good Bishop started
at once for Europe, to personally beg
the Holy Father to grant him his re-
quest. But on the way, he stopped in
Lourdes, to place his wish in the
hands of the Blessed Virgin, promis-
ing her, if his request were granted,
that the first parish he would create in
his diocese would be named Our Lady
of Lourdes. Shortly, he received the
news, at Lourdes itself, that Father
Ireland was appointed his coadjutor,
according to his petition, and the good
Bishop, overjoyed, came right back to
st. Paul, without going to Rome at ALL
Then he fulfilled his promise; and that
is how the parish of Our Lady of Lour-
DIES in Minneapolis got it's name.

down from the organ loft bearing such
an air of peace and joy that enc
almost thought the angels had come
TO sing once more their glad refrain.
And though the churches Of Munich
are many and large, they were over
crowded on Christmas Day. From the
early hours Of morning until high
noon. not only the pews but even the
aisles were filled, and throngs Of
people were coming and going. Off
Gals of the state and of the city wear
ing high hats, men and women, old
and young, soldiers and civilians, all
went to Holy Mass and, in the Frauen-
iirche at least, listened dayOutly to a
splendid sermon delivered with the
touching Bavarian accent. There was
also a fuel collection taken in all the
Churches-but the fuel was for the
poor of Munich. These Catholics, too,
seemed we'll informed in matters per-
tanning to the Church. In the Frauen-

and with exact dates the information

POPE AND DEMOCRACY
HOLY FATHER GIVES DEFINITE
PRINCIPLES FOR CATHOLICS
ACTION.

a Papal letter addressed to Card
inal Lucon. and made public in con-
nection with participation of French
Catholics in the parliamentary cleo
tons contains four definite planks for
establishment of social peace They
comprise:
Cooperation of all classes:
Coalition of all classes against Boil
Acceptance of democracy
Education of the proletariat.
In his letter to Cardinal Lucon, the
Pope said in part:
1.-The great outstanding fact in the
world today is the ever Strengthening
current everywhere toward democ-
racy. The proletariat classes, as they
are called, having taken the prepon-
derant part in the war, desire in every
country to derive therefrom the max
imgm advantage. So
Unfortunately, this is often pushed
to excess. They would overturn the
social order, which human nature rem
ders necessary, to the detriment Of
everybody. <1rt
1.-THE Catholic Church has always
loved those who suffer and has always
taught that public powers established
for the common good must work es-
pecially to improve conditions of those
who suffer. shn ~ sfa
THAT is why the Catholic clergy
must not oppose the proletarian re-
vindieations,fb ut must favor them, pro
vided they remain within the limits
of honesty and justice.''

CATHOLIC army CHAPLA|NS
MEET FOR REUNION AND ORGAN
lzATIoN OF LEGION.

On December II, 1919, at the sug-
gestion of Archbishop Hayes, of New
York, preliminary meeting of the
Catholic U. S. A. chaplains was held
in Chicago to consider ways and
means of organizing permanent
association. Mgr. William Foley, Of
Chicago, was elected temporary pres
ident, and Rev. w. T. Kane, S. j., tenn
porary secretary. 1t was decided to
hold a general meeting in Chicago on
Lincoln's Day, February II, 1920, and
effect a definite organization of the
first Post of the American Catholic
Chaplains' Legion There are six
hundred Catholic chaplains in the
Great Lakes Vicariate to form this,
and other Posts, east and south, are
soon to follow.
The program for the Chicago meet
ing last week was as follows: Solemn
high Mass in st. Ambrose Church, 10
a. M, chaplains attended in uniform
and occupied the sanctuary; sermon
by Most Rev. Archbishop Geo. W.
Mundelein; - o'clock. noon, luncheon

the need is greatest And solicitors

in their faces asked for contributions

some bitter battle-asking for aims.

People Are Courteous.

In their every day life the people
of Munich are polite and courteous
Everybody in Munich is kind All
seem endowed with a sort of natural
refinement. When one enters a place
of business or an office, one is saluted
with a hearty good day." or more
often with the beautiful salutation,
'gruesZ Gott' (perhaps best trans
lated by ''let us greet God'D. Even
the soldiers are kind and gentlemanly.
While wandering about the Maxi
milianeum, unaware Of the fact that
since the revolution it had been con-
verted into police headquarters, the
writer was stopped by guard who
saluted military fashion and also with
the greeting, 'gruesz Gott" He then
went on to explain politely that the
officer of the guard had sent him out
10 ascertain if there was anything the
stranger wanted. On being asked
concerning the art treasures in the
Maximilianeum, he answered that un
fortunately they had all been locked
up as result Of the revolution
Again, he expressed his regrets, sa
luted, and took leave saying, "gruesz
Colt" In the hotels the bell-boys
offer to assist the guest, but they dc
not wrestle with him to obtain posses
sion of his luggage as is the case in
many places.

political order has destroyed but little
of Munich's Catholic spirit. What the
future will bring, with the government
for the most part in the hands of
Socialists and Jews, one can not con-
lecture. But, this much is certain,
that the monuments of Munich will
stand as testimonial of the beauty
of Catholic culture until the ages
crumble their granite walls.

Are the Armenians Catholics OF
some sect OF Christians?


The Armenians inhabt the area to
the southwest Of the Black Sea, and
belong TO Western Asia. They were
converted to Christianity ABOUT the
second. or early in the third, century.
A legend states that st. Bartholomew
and st. Thaddeus preached to them.
In the seventh century dissensions en-
tered in among the Armenians and
they have been divided practically
ever since In 1910, out OF a popula-
ton of between two and three mil
lions, there were about fifty thousand
PrOtestants. seventy thousand Cath
olics. while the rest belonged to the
nOn-Unial church of Constantinople.
Both Protestant and Catholic mis-
Sionaries have been working zealously
among them for many years. The
Catholic Almenians are under a
Patriarch, who has in his jurisdiction
three other Armenian Archbishops,
twelve Bishops. and nine patriarchal
Wears.
Are the o. Henry books condemned
by the Church?
They are not condemned.
Docs the Catholic Church prefer the
loVeless marriage of a Catholic to
another Catholic rather than love
marriage Of Catholic to Protestant?
The Church decidedly prefers mar
riagc among Catholics rather than
mixed marriages. The latter rarely
have any sound reason for their en-
istence at all. In this view the
Church is not influenced or led by the
fact Of love or lack OF love, but by
reason Of the danger to the Catholic
party and to the offspring that may
result from the union. In this the
Church is only trying to protect her
own children FROM possible pnrilS to
their faith. The question OF mutual
love i for the parties themselves to
decide: the Church looks only to the
love OF God and the souls entrusted
TO her care.
Is the sin Of sodomy forgiven?
Yes. whenever the sinner makes a
sincere confession with all the condi-
tiOns of such confession.
What does it mean to say that GER
tain sins exclude one from Heaven?
No sin, if truly repented, will eX-
clude one from Heaven. The mean,
ing of the expression is that there are
certain sins which the sinner finds
hard to lay aside, such as infidelity,
heresy. blasphemy of the Holy Ghost,
and others. Even these will be for

cerely repents." gee
II a person negIects his Easter duty
can he save his soul?
He can, provided he returns to God
through the hard road of sorrow and
repentance. Neglect of ones Easter
duty is a mortal sin; if one should
die in that state without repentance,
there is but one place for his recep-
ton in the next world, and that is the
place prepared for sinners who die I'M
repentant.
Is it forbidden by the Church to at
tend a masquerade ball?
Dancing, in general, is not forbid
den by the Church, though certain
dances, and in certain places, are so
forbidden by the ecclesiastical author
tiles. The Church does, however, dis
courage dancing, since it so fire.
Quently is an occasion of sin, what
ever its devotees may say to the con-
trary. Nearly all the harsh things
saidAagainst the Church in this mat
ter by lovers of the dance proceed
from the gentler sex who, in this case
are not by any means the best judges,
since they usually are the most in
fatuated, and hence the least reason
able, in matter that concerns their
own pleasures so intimately. If dane
ing may be an occasion of sin and
it may, the masquerade ball presents
added attractions and dangers that
may become sinful. Many and many
4 woman looks back to her first mas
Querade ban as the beginning of
errors that she would give worlds to
forget.
Is it permitted for third cousins to
marry?
Formerly it was forbidden for third
cousins to marry in the Catholic
Church. The new Code of Canon Law,
however, forbids marriage up to the
third degree of kindred, and not to the
fourth as formerly. Third cousins are
in the fourth degree, and according
to the present laws of the Church are
permitted to marry.
Why has the devil such power to
tempt person with impure thoughts?
Because God SO allows him, to give
one an opportunity to gain greater
merit by resisting them. Not all such
thoughts. however, are to be credited
to the devil. Sinful human nature
does its own share in leading one into
such temptations.
Is everybody tempted sometimes
against holy purity?
It's hard to tell
