CELIBACY OPPOSED.
OBJECTIONS FROM DIGNITARIES. LONDON, July 15. Tho “Daily Mail’s” Rome correspondent quotes the. newspaper “Epoca’s” report, that some Cardinals and Bishops signed a memorandum imploring the Pope to relieve them of what they I characterise as the impossible observance of ecclesiastical celibacy. The memorandum declared that purity of life is the highest aim of the church, and 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 that the Popo will relieve them from the cruel position.
