Catholic Marriages
To the Editor. Dear Sir,— Allow me to hasten to thank you for your- very excellent and able pamphlet on Catholic Marriages. The attack of the Rev. Mr. Carrington on the Catholic doctrdne of the Sacrament of Matrimony must be considered, as a ' felix culpa ', a ' happy fault' in as much as it has been the occasion of such an excellent exposition of the Catholic position. I hope that your pamphlet v»«ill find its way into every Catholic home in this city. A perusal of it is sure to increase the knowledge which our peop.le have of this Sacrament ; and perhaps it may be the means of preventing some Catholics -from going through a ceremony before a nonr-Catholic clergyman or State official, which for the future can only be considered by Catholics as null and void before the Church and in the sfrgiht of God. Again thanking you, I remain yours sincerely, '. JAMES COFFEY, ADM. ' St. Joseph's Cathedral, Dunedin.
