Cavicchioni, Father Benjamin, Rome, Italy, to Miss Ella B. Edes, Rome, Italy, 1882 June 4
Scope and Contents
Cavicchioni sends her a few words about doubts proposed by Archbishop Michael A. Corrigan, with the warning that although he is a minutante at the Propaganda, they may be contradicted by that Congregation. 1. The parish of the Cathedral does not form part of the espicopal mensa. The Bishop has two distinct personalities as bishop and as pastor. 2. The bishop would not fulfill his oath in naming a rector to the Cathedral. 3. The rule against alienation does not apply to the cathedraticum. 4. The Bishops of the United States can name rectors but Cavicchioni does not know enough about their status. The pastors of the cathedrals in the United States are sui generis. He gives as examples Davis of Philadelphia and Hickey of Pittsburgh . He doubts that the rector would be removed without a serious reason unless they were given a suitable position elsewhere. Cavicchioni thinks that the assertion that Corrigan has incurred censure by ordination performed sede vacante is ridiculous. A.L.S. Italian 5pp.
