Filipino Petition Against Friars

A DESPATCH from Manila bearing date of February 7 reads as follows: “The insular presidents will present a petition to Mgr. Sbaretti, the apostolic delegate in the Philippines, on his arrival here from Rome, praying for the expulsion of the friars and friar bishops in the interests of the church, as the Filipinos consider them unfit to serve in the house of God. A majority of the presidents have already signed the petition.”
