The Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda Fide has been informed of the agreement made Oct. 9, 1826 between Bishop Henry Conwell of Philadelphia and the trustees of St. Mary's Cathedral of that city. This agreement and the declaration of the trustees tends to destroy episcopal power and ecclesiastical discipline in that diocese. After considering these matters the Sacred Congregation on April 30, 1827 decreed that the agreement and declaration should be made know to all the bishops of the country so that they will know the attitude of the Congregation on the matter. The Decision was also submitted to Pope Leo XII on May 6, and he approved of it and ordered Catholics in those regions to be informed that the agreement and declaration had been disapproved. They hope that hereafter these matters will be conducted in proper order. Pietro Caprano, Archbishop of Iconium signs as secretary. no. 15. :: III-2-g D.S. Latin 2pp. 8vo.
