The solicitude of the recent assembly that the faithful be supplied with clergymen of their own language, has come to the attention of the Sacred Congregation which thinks this is of great importance for the bishops. The bishops must have particular care for the Germans since priests speaking that language are not available frequently. Although there should be no favoritism the bishops should keep this problem before them in filling vacancies. The Sacred Congregation also wishes that it be borne in mind also in recommending priests for bishops that they be able to speak the languages used in the region. However no occasion should be given for the charge that foriegn priests are preferred over American priests. Alexander Bernabo signs as secretary. :: III-2-h A.L.S. Latin 1p. 8vo.
