CLERICAL CELIBACY.
relief implored. By Telegraph.— Press Assn.—Copyright. London. July 15. The Daily Mail’s Rome correspondent quotes a report from the newspaper Epoca. that Cardinals and Bishops have signed a memorandum imploring the Pope to relieve them of what they characterise as the impossible observance of ecclesiastical celibacy. The memorandum declares that purity of life, the highest aim of the church, is reached through the free working of man’s nature, not by coercion and the imposition of laws against nature. The memorandum describes the authors as victims struggling desperately against a. martyrdom worse than death, and prays the Pope to relieve them from their cruel position.
