'It is likely that. there will be numerous canons passed in retcrence tolllcdiseiplitic oi the clergy : ior. no matter how stringent the rth ions infecting the pastors ol the, Cathol Church are, no Council has ever met without adding iiii'tlicr important. rc- sirictions calculated to make the discipline or the clergy as complete as possible. Care will be taken to cxhort tho superiors oi eeclcsi stics to inspire in their subjects the highest ccelesiastie spirit, and to place before them, even mort strongly than be- fore. alriin sense oi their obligations. As 'I'rent ordained the establishment ot divi- sion. or at least oi provint sominarics. the Vatican Council will probably direct that in these colleges higher branches oi .' ~u|ar as well as oi'elerical education be to ght. so its to make the clergy oi the growing generation bettcrsuited to combat the peculiar errors at the day. which are no longer specially theological. biit drawn rather treat the domain of pliilosophy—. mental, iiatnral and moral.

While that may be it. matter oi dispute. and might be readily waived inidcr pro- tcst. it seems a trivial ground ior men to go on who are really anxious tor reiinioa. In the copies of the I'ope‘s lellxt' to the l'atiiarclis. generally accessible, the ad- dri-ss is not given. bttt if it were in the usual Iorm oi I‘apal letters. arid it it ac- corded with the body ol the letter. couch- ed in respectlnl and sympathetic terms. there would be little r on tor the spiritu- al descendants ol the (Jr .ek Fathers of the Council oi lilorcncc. or 01 those earlyl‘las tern Councils which made so many ac- knowledgments of tlic I'riiiiacy of llome. to reject the proili-rcd olive branch. llence it may be doubted whether this rumored refusal ol the Patriarchs was either authen- tie or Iinal.
