Father MacEachen
Named Domestic
Prelate bv Pope

II was announced in Rome this
week that Pope Plus XII had di-
rectly conferred upon the Rever-
end Roderick A. MacEachen, a
priest of the Diocese of Columbus,
the dignity of Domestic Prelate.
Father MacEachen received this
honor for his special service to the
Holy See during the fifty-two years
of his priesthood.
Upon the completion of graduate
studies at the Angelicum in Rome,
Pope Benedict XIV designated Fa-
ther MacEachen for special work
in preparing the Gasparri Cate
chism. Later, he was assigned as
a secretary to Archbishop Bonaven-
tura Cerretti, Papal Legate to the
Versailles Conference following
World War |.
After his ordination in 1901, Fa-
ther MacEachen held pastoral
posts in the Diocese OF Columbus
before accepting teaching assign

and wrong opinions, have embrac-
ed the doctrine and celebrate an
nually the solemnity of the I'M
maculate Conception. "
The Holy Father expressed Spe-
cisl satisfaction over the fact that
it was his own privilege ito define
a doctrine which expressed priyi-
lege of the Blessed Virgin Mary
which is complement to her I'M
maculate Conception. namely her
Assumption" He was referring TO
the dogmatic definition he made
during the Holy Year of 1850.
"These two very singular privi-
leges bestowed upon the Virgin
Mother of God" he said, "stand
out in the most splendid light as
the beginning and the end of her
earthly journey; For the greatest
possible glorification of her virgin
body is the complement at once
appropriate and marvellous of the
absolute innocence of her soul,
which was free from all stain; and
just as she partook in the struggle
of her only begotten Son with the
wicked serpent of He'll, so also she
shared in His glorious triumph
over sin and its sad consequences"
Speaking of the practical IS
poets of The Marian Year, Pope
Plus stated that ITO facilitate mat
fers and make the project more
successful, We desire that in each
diocese there be held for this pur.
pose appropriate sermons and dis
courses by means of which this
tenet Of Christian doctrine may be
more clearly explained"
In his reference to special de-
votions at the leading Marian
Shrines, the Pope mentioned par
ticularly the Basilica of st. Mary
Major, which he described as with
out doubt the greatest church dedi-
Gated to the Mother of God. He
spoke also of the famous painting
of the Madonna in Rome which he
said has been an object of devo-
ton among the citizens of Rome
for centuries, and before which
they have prayed in times of dis
tress and disaster for Our Lady's
help.

about 5000 words in length, Pope
Plus made special mention of those
belonging to the Church of ST.
lence" in communist-controlled
countries. He prayed that they also
may be able to raise their voices
in Supplication to the Virgin for
peace and harmony in tie world.
Expressing hope that the Mari
an celebrations will bring forth
most desired and Salutary fruits
which all of us long for" the Pope
declared that just one century had
elapsed "Since the Virgin Mother
of God, amidst the applause of the
entire Christian people, shone with
new gem, when Our predecessor
of immortal memory, solemnly de-
creed and defined that she was alb
solutely free from all original sin. F"
Asking the Bishops to encourage
their clergy and people to cele-
brste the centenary, the Supreme
Pontiff called for devotions of ey-
cry kind-pubIic, private, individu-
al and collective-in tribute to Our
Lady. He stressed especially the
desirability of pilgrimages to Mari
an shrines in various parts Of the
world, and of public devotions lin
the dioceses (which will furnish
beautiful demonstrations Of the
love of the faithful for the Heaven
ly Mother"
Since in all cities, towns and
villages wherever the Christian
religion thrives,p the Pope wrote,
there is a sanctuary. or at least
an altar, in which the sacred image
of the Blessed Virgin Mary is en-
shrined for the devotion of the
Christian people. We desire yener
able brethren, that the faithful
should throng thither in great
numbers, and should offer ouI

The Holy Fathers appeal was
contained in an encyclical letter
to the Bishops everywhere which
announced that the Marian Year
would begin next December and
extend until December of 1854.
During this period, Pope Plus urg-
ed, Catholics should lift their
minds and hearts in prayerful in
tercession to the Mother of God
for the multiple needs of modern
men.
1t was on December 8, 1854, that
Pope Plus TX proclaimed as an in
fallible Catholic doctrine that the
Virgin Mary "in the first instant of
her conception was, by singular
grace and privilege of Almighty
God, in view of the merits of Jesus
Christ, the Savior of the human
race, preserved exempt from all
stain of original sin.
Entitled "Fulgens Corona Glor-
ise" tShining Crown of Glory, the
papal eneyclical declared that the
centenary celebrations shoul d
serve TO stimulate an earnest de-
vOtion to the Mother of God III the
souls of all Catholics, and encour-
age them, as far as possible, to
conform their lives to the image of
the Virgin.
Dated on the Feast Of fhe Nafiv-
ity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on
September Q, the eneyelicsl said
that among the purposes of the
Marian Year was the offering of
prayers for the return of ell men
fe Christ through conformity with
His prseepts, the revival of peace,
charity and Justice among men and
nations, and the restoration of the
liberty of the Church in countries
where Catholics are now experience
