CHURCH PROPERTY TAKEN
FOR FRENCH AUTHORITIES.
Ne# York, Dec. 13.—.Many seeking
a cause for the warfare between the
French government and the Roman
Catholic church declare that It was the
increasing activity of the church In
national politics. A less obvious cause,
they say. was the remarkable hold of
Hocialistlc propaganda on the minds of
the people who gradually awoke to tjie
fact that the liberty they so longed for
was certainly not to be found under
the doable yoke of government and
church.
In the last quarter of a century the
nation has become acutely sensitive to
tho touch of the Vatican In the politic*
of France, and not only seemed ready
for the’ ratification of the separation
law, but also for Its enforcement this
week.
Church Loses France.
This act means practically the loss of
France to the church. Outside of Spain
France has for centuries been the most
obedient and loyal duughter of Rome,
so that this crisis seems an unnatural
blow to the established order of thtng*.
It also mean* that title of church
property to the value of $200,000,000 Is
turned over to the state;* that the Ro
man Catholic church in France Is dls
established, and that hereafter no en
dowed church will he allowed to grow
In strength and power beyond certain
limits. In fact, it Is as complete
divorce of state and church as the most
rabid separatlonlst might ask for.
Aot Passed*in 1905.
The chamber of deputies passed the
act of disestablishment, as the law Is
known, on July 3, 1905. The senate
passed ft on December 8 following, and
It was ratified on December 11, 1905.
It provided that a year’s time be given
to the church In which to complete Its
side of the question. At the end of
tintt period It was expected that the
church would be ready to hand over
It* property to the government and
continue Its work under the order of
things. This new order, as conceived
and enacted by French statesmen, re
quired the churches to be conducted
by public worship associations or In
corporations. ,
After months of agitation, the Vati
can refused to establish such associa
tions. By so doing, It would virtually
be admitting defeat and evincing com
pliance with one of the most hostile
movements It had ever been called upon
to face. It so happened, therefore, that
the churches are today like so many
ships at sea that know not what port
to steer to.
Property Held by State.
All the church property In the coun
try Is now In the hand* of the French
government. According to the law
there Is still one moro year In which
to transfer it to the public worship
associations. But the church has not
the slightest Intention of complying.
The state may sell, rent or destroy
every cathedral or church editlce in the
land, with the Vatican powerless to
raise a Anger.
The state has also provided that no
church shall accumulate endowments
exceeding three times Its revenue
the revenue Is more than 5,000 francs
annually. The public worship associa
tion* are supposed to be the tlnnm'lat
managers of the religious establish
menu and to be the Intermediary be
tween them and the state. As for the
charitable institutions and such organ,
tsations ns-are not directly associated
with the church, the state will take
them.
Trouble Ovtr Pensions.
The matter of pensions gave a great
deal of trouble In the period when dis
establishment agitation ran high,
as enacted that the clergymen who
uL spent many years in the church
should receive pension* not greater
than 1.500 francs and that the younger
should derive annuities from the state
for periods varying from 4 to 8 years.
In the past It ha* been the custom of
the state to pay these salaries, and the
state will save In this alone $9,000,000
annually. •
The revolution not only got rid of re
ligion for the time being, but also of
the church. Napoleon, however, as soon
a* he became Arnt consul, arranged >t
concordat with Plus VII, under which
the consul nominated and the pope up-
Capoleon. however, wished to use these
bishops for the glory of France and re.
lutred them to swear allegiance to the
republic. This several of them refused
to do, and were driven from France.
They went to Kngland. formed their
La Petite Kgfiz. which flourished for a
number of years.
Pope Wat Captured.
In 1109 Napoleon grew less regard
ful of the Vatican and published the
decree of Schoenbrunn. The pope was
captured and Imprisoned at Fontaln-
b!eu, and It was there that another con
cordat. commonly called "the false con
cordat.” was signed in 1813. The main i
provision of this was to devolve the
