MARRIAGE.
ROMAN CATHOLIC LAW. (Br C*bl«.—Frets'Aeaoca*Uon«—Copyxigit) ADELAIDE, January 29. Archbishop O'Reilly, in an official statement on the Roman Catholic marriage law, said that his Church looked upon divorce, from whatever cause, as absolutely unlawful. Marriage to them was essentially eacred. Civil lav had nullified many laws of the Church, and claimed tho right to nullify tho. contract of marriage, but jSower over the sacrament of marriage, he . held, was unalienably her own. The J«a Tomero decree was merely the assertion of a right which the Church had always claimed, that a Catholic must be married in the presence of a priest, otherwise it was no marriage before God. Hβ condemned mixed marriages.
