Justitia has read in McMaster's paper an article headed, "The opposition to a more fixed state for the clergy of the second order." These priests shifted at the nod of the bishop, lost time and money. Priests and congregations would be benefited if their parishes were under canon law. Justitia has the book quoted by Father Stephen, pastor of the orphan asylum, and called "Institutiones juris privati ecclesiastici libri III, Joannis Cardinalis Loglia, etc." Justitia is willing to sell these volumes at a low price. If McMaster wishes to buy them he should hint of it in his next edition of the New York Freeman's Journal and Catholic Register. Here follows an exerpt from the Appendix of the above mentionned work, for the use of the clergy of France. A pastor can be either recallable at the nod of a bishop from the exercise of his office, or perpetual; this quality of either perpetuity or "manualitas" is entirely accidental and extrinsic to the essence of the pastoral office. Whenever the holy congregation of the council has been asked whether the obligations binding pastors dejure also bind curates removable at the nod, they have answered, yes, that both are kept in residence to offer Mass for the people. Indeed perpetuity does in no way belong necessarily to pastors by reason of their holding a benefice. Hence, they are deluded who think the office of pastor essentially carries with it perpetuity. Equally deluded are they who think "manuales" pastors or pastors removable at the nod are something out of harmony with common justice and of antique discipline. For canonists prove the contrary. See Bouix de parochio P. 207 ? The question whether they can be removed without cause can, when the common opinion of the doctors has been examined, be answered thus: A pastor can be removed without cause and without recourse to his superior, except for the following exceptions: removals made out of hatred, leading to the disgrace of the removed, leading to the damnation of the whole parish, contrary to the superior's custom of not removing without cause. Hence, beyond these exceptions, the bishop who transfers a movable pastor to another parish not only exercises his right but acts licitly and laudably before God. :: I-2-e AL English-Latin 4 pp. 16mo.
