In all the Catholic Churches of the archdioceso yesterday a pastoral letter by His Grace Archbishop Redwood on the reoent decree of th' Sacred Congregation of the Council c Betrothal and Marriage and the Pap Encyclical' on Modernist Errors, was :ad. Regarding marriage His Grac said:— lt is very important that the, holic public, parents, guardians,, an particularly Catholic marriageable j hs, should have a clear and full qwledge of tho new laws regarding "iages lately . issued by the Holy S Lot them, therefore, know (1) tha r ter Easter next, ,any marriage bei Catholics is absolutely aull and -viz., no marriage at all — unless * ontracted in ths presence of a ■ qualified priest and two witnesses herto, in this country, when a C , id de- ■ fiance of the law of th ?h, presumed to get married ci a Pro; testant Church or in a Office, the marriage, though gi sinful and sacrilegious, was - tha church as valid and bii d tha parties to be truly ma wife. After , next Easter, sucl ges in Protestant Churches anc ;try Offices will ba for Catholic jnly sinful, but invalid, and th ,ons who contract them wiU havt ->.ly gone through an empty ceren md will be no more man an"d « a.q they were before.
