Tho term was at least ambiguous. At boat, one in such a position could only truly describe himself ns a member of tho board, “who happened to be a Catholic.” Father McGrath added that a Catholic who expressed opinions contrary to the demands of the hierarchy was representative of no Catholic party.

There were cxcommunica--tious against members who made decrees against the liberty and rights of the Church, and against those impeding directly or indirectly the Church's jurisdiction by counsel, help or favour. Members, of Appeal Boards, therefore, before speaking as Homan Catholics, might do well to examine their consciences.
