HUMILIATING THE CHURCH. . The arrangements for the celebration,of the raising of the siege of Orleans by the Blessed Joan of Arc have aroused friction between the Bishop of Orleans, Mgr. Touchet, and the Radical Mayor of Orleans ■ M. Rabier, as the result of which the religious ceremonies and processions which have been held annually for 448 years with only two breaks, will not be held this year. The Mayor insisted that the clergy and the religious portion of the procession should 'follow that of the Prefect, the Mayor, and the local authorities at a distance of about 200 yards. Mgr. Touchet has refused to agree to this arrangement, which he considers humilitating to the Church and to the clergy, and hence he will not take part in the celebration.
