Instruction I'm Catholic
Doctrine

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 6.-Rev
Thomas NJ OLeary, bishop 1.-THE Spring
field diocese. yesterday issued an edict to
the effect that non-Catholics marrying
Catholics must take a six-weeks' course
on instruction in Catholic doctrine.
1t is not for the purpose of making
converts, it is stated, but is intended to
make non Catholics familiar with their
obligations in marrying Catholics. The
new edict was communicated to all the
clergy of the diocese.
Bishop O,Ieary has always been op-
posed to mixed marriages, and while they
have been discouraged. no ruling of such
a drastic nature as this one has been
made here before 1t is believed to have
been brought ahout by the large number
of mixed marriages which have taken
place in this diocese during the last
month.
