FRANCE AND THE VATICAN Address by Rev. Father Dubbel Before the Council of Knights of Columbus Rev. Father Dubbel, pastor of St. Boniface church, on Wednesday evening last delivered a scholarly address before the council of Knights of Columbus at their hall in this city. The subject being one of great interest to all, the address of the reverand gentleman is here reproduced: The eyes of the religious world, as well as the eyes of all power hostile to religion, are at the present moment intently observing the acute situation between the Vatican and France—a situation which will be recorded in history hereafter as one of the greatest conflicts between church and state. For the contesting parties are, on one hand, one of the first nations of the world, and on the other, the oldest and largest church organizations of the Christian era. What makes the study of this struggle more difficult is that the contending parties have to their credit a history of centuries, relating the most cordial feelings and mutual interest. A nation which has been styled the "Eldest Daughter of the Church;" a nation which has sent forth the greatest number of her missionaries. A nation, the vast bulk of whose citizens are adherents of the Roman Catholic Faith. And today, she is branded by that same church as her greatest persecutor of the twentieth century. It stands to reason, that such a change of position cannot be the result of one act or of one person, and consequently there must be a series of state, and may be disposed of minister sees fit—sold at publication, turned over to Schism gregations or non-Catholics, public buildings, as museums, racks, or hospitals. Persons bellious, that is, performing in the church, shall be summoned the prefect of police and after tion suffer fines, imprisonment of citizenship. That this is tale may be concluded from that the Ven Archbishop Cardinal Richard, was ordered his palace, despite his advance eighty-nine years. If such is given the prelates what may ble country Cure expect? Where the mayor of the city of the district is some illiterate bigotted individual. In his letter to the assembly of France, the father of Christ Pope Pius says: "Would to heaven we could contain a feeble hope of the possi making the attempt without to the rights of God and th our well beloved sons of the many and so great trials. But is no room for entertaining so long as the law remains we declare it not permissable a trial of these other kinds o tions, unless it be made evident unequivocal and legal manner divine constitution of the ch immutable rights of the Rom and of the bishops, as for inst authority over the temporal the church, especially over s fices shall be safe-guarded in in these associations." All which tends to prove clousness of the words of B minister of worship, "If th chooses war she shall have church stands for peace in elsewhere; her dominion is pernatural; she has no love fo and if her rights are tread will raise her voice in pro styled the "Eldest Daughter of the Church;" a nation which has sent forth the greatest number of her missionaries. A nation, the vast bulk of whose citizens are adherents of the Roman Catholic Faith. And today, she is branded by that same church as her greatest persecutor of the twentieth century. It stands to reason, that such a change of position cannot be the result of one act or of one person, and consequently there must be a series of acts, a new ruling power, which for some cause or other is bent upon completely rupturing the former time-honored friendship. The study becomes more difficult, inasmuch as we are not on the field. But let it be remembered, that the general in an army receives information from many sources, and that his orders are criticised by the common soldier at times, merely because the rank and file lacks information. In this case as both sides have spoken, and as the principles of justice and truth are eternal and unchanging, we may well weigh facts in the scales of justice and truth, and arrive at correct conclusions. One more remark let us remember, we are in America, our views and our republic differ in many things from European views and European republics—like the light of the sun differs from the light of the moon. IMMEDIATE CAUSES. The immediate cause of the great strain between France and the Vatican is the latter's rejection of the law of 1905, known as the "Associations cultuelles" law. In a formal letter, dated Dec. 8, 1906, Pope Pius X commanded that associations such as the said law prescribed could not be entered into. The law had been passed by the National Assembly in 1905, it is a modification of the law of 1881 and 1901, and was to go into effect on Dec. 11, 1906. This assemblage and association law provides that all church property shall henceforth be held by layman. That in each parish layman shall form a fabrique, an association; they shall incorporate; the authorities of the state will turn over to them all church property, over which they will have complete charge. They will attend to the revenue and also the expenses; they shall have the right of nomination of the parish priest; in fact, the whoie is regarded in the eyes of the law similar to any business corporation. The priest is appointed the manager, retained or styled the "Eldest Daughter of the Church;" a nation which has sent forth the greatest number of her missionaries. A nation, the vast bulk of whose citizens are adherents of the Roman Catholic Faith. And today, she is branded by that same church as her greatest persecutor of the twentieth century.

THE REAL SPIRIT To understand however bitterness ofthe crisis,the leaderandtheand seekto discover theirmighttheultimateobjecttowhichtobestriving.Thenamesinentinthisconflictare:Rousseau,Combes,Sarriereceau,Briand.Bywayofwarmaybeexpected,一onemust sightofthefactthatatleasttheseareex-semenarianso in each parish layman shall form a fabrique, an association; they shall incorporate; the authorities of the state will turn over to them all church property, over which they will have complete charge.

The priest is appointed the manager, retained or discharged at will of the incorporated directors or trustees. This the Minister of Worship boldly declares is, "A law for Frenchmen, and the church held under the laws of the republic." To it the Sovereign Pontiff answers, "Non Possumus." We cannot accept the law, for it interferes with the divine organization of the church and its mission. The authority of the church is rejected and its religious activity curtailed. Light is made of Christ's divine commission to His Apostles: "Go and teach all nations." Note, no longer shall they fearlesslp preach, "Whatsoever I have told you," but a body of directors may appear before the services and dictate the lines upon which the Sunday's discourre is to be held. There is more realty than fiction in this for the Cure, for summarily may he be dismissed and like a vagabond have to travel over La belle France. The minister of worship is not obliged to belong to any religion nor need he practice any. The same right goes to the directers of the Association cultuelles. What possible complications can arise from such a state can easier be imagined than described. Most severe are the penalties prescribed for those who violate the law. Any parish not having conformed to the law within the year of 1907 shall lose its property. It reverts to the To understand however bitterness of the crisis, we consider the leaders and the people and seek to discover their motive for the ultimate object to which they are striving. The names in this conflict are: Rousseau, Combes, Sarrier ceau, Briand. By way of war, may be expected, one must sight of the fact that at least these are ex-semenarians of students. Every one knows he be expected from an Ex. In dech-Rousseau who made hisorious in dealing with these orders. Passing law after ling restrictions, interfering way, making the life of these of God and of the people well bearable, and stopping only had succeeded in driving through the land. Men who had got best years in the service of women who were heroes of the battlefield; all were exposed their crime? Oh! It is writers of gold in the Book of Mare are religious, and the laws republte will no longer harden its soil. This same Rousseau on his deathbed to have them of one of the religious who persecuted in life. Combes, well did sainted Vito thy mother, "This child much trouble to the church will die well." The first prophecy is fulfilled, grant him the second part may also radical than Rosseau he set out put the law into execution, specially in the diplomatic ties between France and the Vatican question of the visit of President to the Quirinal, in the order bishops, and later in the may be disposed of as the mees fit—sold at public auceded over to Schismatic conduit or non-Catholics, used as buildings, as museums, or barhospitals. Persons called rewhat is, performing services arch, shall be summoned by out of police and after convicfines, imprisonment and loss ship. That this is no fairy concluded from the fact of Ven Archbishop of Paris, Richard, was ordered to leave despite his advanced age of the years. If such treatment prelates what may the humery Cure expect? Especially mayor of the city or prefect district is some illiterate and individual. better to the assembled bishops of the father of Christiandom says: to heaven we could enterable hope of the possibility of the attempt without detriment ents of God and thus relieve revolved sons of the dread of so so great trials. But as there is for entertaining this hope the law remains what it is, it not permissable to make these other kinds of associess it be made evident, in an legal and legal manner, that the institution of the church, the rights of the Roman Pontiff, bishops, as for instance their over the temporal affairs of men, especially over sacred edition be safe-guarded irrevocably associations." Much tends to prove the mendaof the words of Briand, the of worship, "If the church she shall have it." The lands for peace in France as ; her dominion is in the su- ; she has no love for warfare, rights are tread upon she her voice in protest, but is abolition of the Concordate, we will again come across the name of this man, who seemed to glory in the title of an arch-enemy of the old faith. Briand the minister of worship; a public speech will plainly show the animus of the man towards that for which the church stands for. "The time has come to root up from the minds of French children the ancient faith which has served its purpose and replace it with the light of free thought. It is time to get rid of the christian idea. We have hunted Jesus Christ out of the army, the navy, the schools, the hospitals, insane and orphan asylums, and law courts, and now we must hunt him out of the state altogether." London Saturday Review of August 18, and August 25, 1906. Will anything surprise us after such a statement? Clemenceau—the present premier. To accept the picture drawn of him in French and English papers as the Gaulois, Figaro, Contemporary Review (London), he is a man of mystery, contradiction, and paradox. Brilliant as he is, his greatest charm is unscrupulousness, his inconsistency. The terror of former cabinets, he is most arbitrary, inflexible. At Vas Mr. Jerrold quotes him to have said: "You can never thank us too much that we do not more harm than we do." From these sketches an idea may be formed of the men generalizing the conflict on the part of France. What is, however, the principal charge they make against the Church of Rome, the slogan which they carry in the battle of elections; their cry is Interference. How potent this word has been may be learned from subsequent elections. It is a direct appeal to passion, sentiment, honor. Investigation. cool deliberation, logical conclusions are not now the order of the day. Like in the days of the great revolution blood must first flow; a chaos made before men will think, leaving for future generations ruins over which they may mourn. A Rese The Lenoir grape Disease.

Money INTERFERENCE May we squarely look this charge in the face Rouvier, Delcasse, Sarrien, Combes made mention of it. Behind it they will seek refuge from the responsibility of having brought about this unhappy state. Loud is the cry against the protest of the Vatican on the occasion of the visit of President Loubet to Italy; sore is the government because of the summons of French bishops to Rome. Indignantly it says the Concordat is no longer observed, hence let it be dissolved. To better understand the situation, let us follow step by step, beginning with the Concordat, consider the visit, the call of certain bishops, and the charge of destroying the republic. Concordat.—Most famous among historical treaties is the Concordat entered into at Paris July 15, 1801, between the French Consul and the Holy See. The year 1793 marks the beginning of the French revolution, thrones tottered, the Commune, the reign of terror, Robespierre, the National Assembly, the rise of First Consul, all follow in quick succession. Life, property, order, law were for nearly twenty years matters of the greatest uncertitude. Religion suffered much. When the dawn at last arrived and hopes were entertained that the soil had dranked enough of human blood, the See of Rome was ready to forget and forgive; if only safety and order would again be established. During the period of turmoil much of her property had been spoilt and confiscated, many of her dioceses were without bishops. What sins were committed against religion may be concluded from the fact that a depraved woman had been placed on the altar of Notre Dame in Paris and mockingly was worshipped as the "Goddess of Reason." Napoleon found it not safe to attempt to govern a people without religion, and hence reopened negotiation with the Holy See. The result was the drawing up of the Concordat, with its seventeen articles. It was to form the basis of all future relations between France and the Vatican. In article 13th, the Holy See "for the sake of peace" allows those persons to rest on the part of France. What is, however, the principal charge they make against the Church of Rome, the slogan which they carry in the battle of elections; their cry is Interference. How potent this word has been may be learned from subsequent elections. It is a direct appeal to passion, sentiment, honor. Investigation. cool deliberation, logical conclusions are not now the order of the day. Like in the days of the great revolution blood must first flow; a chaos made before men will think, leaving for future generations ruins over which they may mourn and shed tears of regret. THE VISIT OF PRESIDENT It was in 1870 that the chapel Papal States, those provinces in the center of Italy, were centuries had belonged to which were affectionately "Patrimony of St. Peter." She consent to this spousal victorious Victor Emmanuel the capitol of his United himself took possession of a former papal palace, so The Pope, now virtually raised his vow punishing the usurpers' censure, furthermore declaring would not receive at the monarch, or head of a Catholic who would visit the Quiros came an unwritten law of such rulers. It was April 24, 1904, that Loubet made his visit to Italy, and for a week royals followed. Under a decree of Premier Combes he was tirelessly to disregard the Vaticanally his visit was not annulled. This indifference's part was equivalent rect insult. The Vatican credited ambassador to theof France. France had its vive charge d'affaires at that a Catholic himself,and as recognition as a Catholics visits the city of the Pope their existence there. Riclic standpoint the affront from a diplomatic point shows strained relations, local review it sanctions when French troops were understand however better the crisis of the crisis, we must confer leaders and the spokesmen to discover their motives and state object to which they seem living.

It was in 1870 that the church lost the States, those provinces situated center of Italy, which for ten years had belonged to her, and were affectionately called the mony of St. Peter." Never did consent to this spoliation. The famous Victor Emmanuel made Rome capitol of his United Italy. He took possession of the Quirinal, her papal palace, as his abode. Hope, now virtually a prisoner in Italian, raised his voice in protest, asking the usurpers with church office, furthermore declaring that he not receive at the Vatican any such, or head of a Catholic nation would visit the Quirinal. This been unwritten law of etiquette for callers. As April 24, 1904, that President it made his visit to the King of Spain for a week royal entertainment followed. Under the influence Premier Combes he was induced unto disregard the Vatican. Officers visit was not announced to the public. This indifference on the president part was equivalent to a dissult. The Vatican had its acceded ambassador to the government once. France had its representative d'affairs at the Vatican. Asolic himself, and as head of a nacognized as a Catholic power, he the city of the Popes and ignores existence there. From a Catholic point of view it strained relations, from a histori-view it sanctions the act of 1870 French troops were called from came to report within a stated time. This secret and personal latter they forwarded to the premier, who in turn demanded the re-call of the order. It may be noted at once the danger there is of political intrigue where government also has a voice in the nomination of bishops. Rome gave through its nuncio at Paris to Delcasse the reasons why it could not recall its order to the bishops to report, explaining that the charges were relative to spiritual matters only. The minister would not listen to any explanation and summarily ordered the French charge d'affairs at the Vatican to sever diplomatic negotiations. Furthermore on July 30, 1904, Delcasse informed the Apostolic Nuncio to consider his mission at an end. From henceforth complete separation was sought for, which led to the passing of the law of 1905: INTERNATIONAL LAW ON EMBASSIES. As a rupture between nations may occur almost any time, it is the custom in such an event to entrust to a friendly power the archives preserved in the embassy at the foreign capital. Immediately after December 11, 1906, Mgr. Montagnini, who had charge of the papal legation at Paris, is expelled from France; and contrary to all international law his house is ransacked and all the papers and documents, confidential in nature, are seized by the government. This gives a further insight of the temper of the leaders of the republic towards the church. ELECTIONS. What has been a puzzle to the non-Catholics of this country in this difficulty, is that statistics show France to be a Catholic nation. Why then this persecution? Can a few millions of anti-clericalis rule the millions claimed to be children of the church? Why do Catholics not elect men favorable to their church, and avoid the possibility of a religious war? To answer intelligently, we must distinguish, there are still many devout adherents of former monarchy, many believers that this third republic will not last, and hence This indifference on the president part was equivalent to a disastrous result. The Vatican had its accused ambassador to the government France. France had its representative charge d'affairs at the Vatican. As Catholic himself, and as head of a na- recognized as a Catholic power, he the city of the Popes and ignores existence there. From a Catho- handpoint the affront is evident, a diplomatic point of view it strained relations, from a histori- view it sanctions the act of 1870 French troops were called from and made the fall of the Papal See a necessary consequence. It surprise no one, therefore, if the secretary of state in a note of it will address the Catholic heads ofrons and express regret at this act the president. This offends the press ministry, the cry is heard of to the chief, interference in both politics, and the resolve that church must be punished. Where to be reached but in the abolition of the concordat. Steps are taken once, and although one ministry after another, the national assem- 1906 votes for the abolition of concordat, separation of church and but as has been previously shown besides separation. MICULTY OF CERTAIN BISHOPS. Add to the complications at the time the case of the Bishops of Laval Dijon. Against both of these men grave charges had been tried to Rome. Love for justice truth had ever been the motto of Hence these bishops were indicted of the charges against them, and to Rome to give them an oppor- of clearing themselves. There need of being astonished at this, energy, no matter what station they may still retain their human nature be liable to err like other mor- One summons after another had forwarded to these bishops, not anxious to face the court of Rome; see and pledges followed just as Finally, an imperative command What has been a puzzle to the non-Catholics of this country in this difficulty, is that statistics show France to be a Catholic nation. Why then this persecution? Can a few millions of anti-clericals rule the millions claimed to be children of the church? Why do Catholics not elect men favorable to their church, and avoid the possibility of a religious war? To answer intelligently, we must distinguish, there are still many devout adherents of former monarchy, many believers that this third republic will not last, and hence they are indifferent to political matters, most especially with regard to voting. This is evident from the small percentage of votes cast at an election. Besides while many are Catholic in name they indeed are not much concerned with the welfare or the trials of the church. Rev. Gilbert Francais says that the government did not win by an overwhelming popular majority in the last election, for twenty-three thousand would have changed the face of the chamber. OUR CONCLUSIONS FROM A CATHOLIC STANDPOINT. Bismark has his Cannossa; Napoleon, who imprisoned Pius VII, met his Waterloo; Julian the Apostate, acknowledged the victory of the Galilean; so will also repent France seek forgiveness. A consolation is left her, she will be received with open arms; but she must respect the principle of truth and justice. Many will suffer spiritually for their present folly. The pride of many will be humbled, but the old Church will come out of the conflict showing the scars of the battle, still victorious. Our young generation will see the verification of these words, and knowing the ardent temperament of the French, they will see them also the staunch defenders of the church in the conflict which she will have with other powers. In conclusion. We members of the Knights of Columbus, let us pledge our loyalty in word and truth to the old faith and be the consolation of mother church in this, her hour of trial,
