BAR PRIESTS
FROM DANCES
Notices in Diocese Organ
Are Ruled Out.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. IA
series of regulations by Archbishop
Michael j. Curley forbidding
Catholic priests to organize or at
tend dances will be announced in
the Baltimore Catholic Review this
week.
The regulations reiterate the
stand taken by the Baltimore
Plenary council of 1884, and the
Sacred Consistorial Congregation of
Rome, which ruled that the church
can not give its official sanction
and approval to dancing.
Archbishop Curley's move was
forecast by an article in the Review,
which, as the official organ of the
archdiocese, announced that all
references to dances would be elimi-
mated in the future. including
advertisements and reading notices.
Notices of card parties and enter
tainments were not banned.
The regulations are interpreted to
mean that independent organiza-
tons, composed of Catholics as in
dividualS, are not forbidden from
holding or attending dances.
The ruling concerning priests
stipulates that it applies no matter
what the purpose of the dance may
be nor by whom 1t is sponsored.
