The cardinals and bishops of the atholic Church in the United States will deal with the present Mexican tuation in a pastoral letter to be sued soon and which will present the controversies purely from the standpoint of constitutional funda- mental law The position of the Catholic prel ates was explained today at the close of the two-day_session of the . an Catholic Welfare Confer Catholic University. This ol tion includes all the members of the American _hierarchy, but, it 3 plained, the cardinals and bis could meet as the hierarchy only upon press instructions from Rome with agenda prepared and _discussed months in advance, while the annual slons here are held entirely upon own authority and, are much more informal.

The position of the church, it was said, is that the Mexican government would be fully justified in applying to Catholics the full vigor of properly enacted laws, passed in accordance with the Mexican constitution and presumably reflecting the will of the people. But, it is held, the present Jaws prohibiting the holding of prop- by the church or the conducting ectavian schools are clear viola- tions of the constitution and would be recognized as such in any civilized country where there was free oppor- tunity to argue the question from a constitutional standpoint. The Calles government, it will be pointed out, is a “bandit government,” acting without the authority which Wwould be conferred by a thoroughly constitutional election” and interpret- extending laws without re- maining in accordance with consti al precedent. the American prelates par: wish to impress on the American people is that the church < not in conflict with the constitution of Mexico, and seeks. not to violate the ‘law, but only to obtain its rights under the law.
