THE INFIDEL LIST.
AMERICA’S MORAL PROGRESS. Rome, March 23.
Tho World correspondent learns that
the Pope intends to introduce a radical change shortly in the present system of considering the United States an infidel country and therefore coming under the jurisdiction of the Congregation of tho Propaganda Fide instead of depending directly upon tho Holy See. Profound dissatisfaction is constantly caused among the American priests having anything to do with the Propaganda Fide by Cardinal Ledochowski’s high-handed manner towards them. Complaints have been so numerous latoly that the Sovereign Pontiff has determined to withdraw the Unitod States from the jurisdiction of the P ropaganda Fide. Both Archbishop Corrigan and Archbishop Ireland strongly advocated this measure when in Rome. The former especially impressed the Pope by laying before him the enormous progress made, by the American Catholics—who now amount to 13,000,000 —especially in the Archdiocese of New York, where in the courso of the last year Archbishop Corrigan has laid the foundation-stones of 240 churches or institutes at a cost to exceed £250,000.
