Catholic Sunday Intoxicant Prohibition

THE Archbishop of Philadelphia has published the decisions of the recent Plenary Council of Baltimore. He has announced that all Roman Catholics must abstain from selling intoxicants on Sunday or leave the church. This decree has been affirmed by the Vatican, and will be rigidly enforced all over the United States. To those who disregard this injunction, the priest will refuse absolution and so deprive them of the sacraments. This action places the Catholics on substantially the same ground with a great many Protestant prohibitionists; i. e., they are very zealous for prohibition—on Sunday.
