The French Assumptionist Fathers
at Ismid are said to have sheltered A.
900 Turks in their church and monasi
terry. who were in danger of violence
and possible death at the hand of the
Greek forces. ~ sA4
There is a poetic justice in this. Be-
cause in 1914 these same Fathers were
set upon by the Turks, and barely es-
capped from Ismid with their lives.
After the Arnistice in 1913 these Fa-

by the commander of a French cruiser,
and now 1t appears that they have Of
fered hospitality and refuge to the
very people who drove them out in

Is there a Saint Christine? If there
is, would you please tell me some
thing about her?
Yes. She was the daughter OF a
rich and powerful magistrate OF
Sicily, named Urban, who, deep in
the practice of heathenism, had a
number of golden idols. Christina
destroyed Them and distributed the
pieces among the poor. Infatuated
by this act Urban prosecuted her,
beat her with rods and threw her into
a dungeon Still adhering unf1inch-
ingly and staunchly to her faith, her
tormentor had her body torn by iron
hooks and fastened her to rack
beneath which a fire was klndled.
But God watched over her and turn
ed the flames upon her prosecutors.
Shortly afterwards this martyr suf-
fered the most terrible torments from
the hands If the judge who succeed
ed her father and finally she was
thrown into burning furnace, where
she remained unhurt for five days.
Her tongue was then cut out, and
after being pierced with arrows, she
gained the martyrs crown at Tyre,
city which formerly stood on the
island in the lake of Bolsena in Italy,
but was long since swallowed up by
the waters. Her relics are now at
Palermo in Sicily. Her feast is cele-

On Friday | ate a piece of fried
caff's brain between bread because
some one told me that it was not
really meat, but something like fish.
Was ! right or wrong?
You were misinformed and should
not have eaten the meat. Your
ignorance excused you from any
formal sin. The precept of the
Church forbids us to eat meat on
Friday, and this includes all parts OF
the animal, the brain, the heart, the
liver, etc. You were not guilty Of sin
as you acted in good faith, and hence
need not make it a matter of con
fession.
How can any one find out when
the Church makes new law?
The legislation of the Church is
published in an official bulletin
called THE Acts of the Apostolic
See" Church laws are officially pub
lished when they appear in that bulle
tin. 1t is then the duty of the Bishop
to see that these laws are brought to
the knowledge of the faithful, and
this is usually done by means Of an
official communication sent to the
pastors and read to the people II
the new law is of serious practical
import, it is promulgated several
months before it actually goes into
effect; in the meantime, the law is
read and explained to the people
Thus, the decree, me Temere,' OF
Pope Plus X was promulgated August
2, 1907, but did not go into effect
until April 10, 1908.
