Three dollars are enclosed for a subscription to the Journal. Because the writer is a twenty year reader of the Journal he gives his notions as regards to McMaster's late criticism of the "Acts Concilii" of which there will soon be an English translation, if the need is so warranted. For present a pamphlet, containing a special report of the Council, would have sufficed. The ambitious priest who keeps quiet is in a parish. The priest in the missions suffer from the arbitrariness of the bishops simply because there is no law in the came and because it is contrary to the spirit of the sacerdotal order to appeal from the Ordinary, to the Pope. Although he formerly opposed the idea, he now advocates that the priests elect their own bishops as was urged some fifteen years before by McMaster and other priests. Often times the priest with the most support is nominated rather than the hard working priest who deserves the title. The same problem exists in regard to Church property, as in Chicago. Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick is almost bankrupt because of his trusting seculars over priests. Bishop James Whelon of Northville holds that the property belongs to the church. Bishop Patrick V. Lynch does not. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
