Monseigneur Guilbert, Bishop of Grep, has issued afpaatoral to his clergy on their duties as to politics. He remarks that whenever the priests have been associated with one political party its adversaries have become theirs. ."When the throne and the altar are linked together, if the former is shaken the latter is also. The clergy ought not to espouse any party, for it has obligations to all parties, conquered as well as conquering, in order to lead to concord and peace. Self-styled Catholic newspapers have of late years attached a party flag to their Catholicism, and the result has been an anti-religious reaction, the clergy being wrongly supposed to share the extreme ideas and exaggerations of these imprudent journalists. The priest is entitled to his individual opinion, and to express and defend it, but he should do so aparb from his ministry, and with the prudence and moderation befitting his sacerdotal dignity. No party emblem should be attached to the cross, or the latter will itself be insulted and profaned.
