PAR REACHING
IN ITS EFFECT
IMPORTANCE OF THE ARDMAN
INJUNCTION CASE.
Decision to Be Arrived at by Judge
Edwards Will Have Not ,. Only a
National But International Bear
ingDefense Sets Up 4he Claim
That No Latin Bishop Can Dis
cipline a Greek Priest, the Metro
politan of Lemberg and Not the
Pope Being Supreme.
The development of the defense in the
Rev. John Ardmun injunction case dis
closes that Judge Edwards w ill be called
upon to deride a uuestion of not only
national, but international importance.
This question lias been in the air for
eight years, but never before was
brought un for adludication.
When the United Greek Catholic
church, commonly known as tho Ruth
enian rite, united with the Roman
Catholic church in 1894, It was agreed,
among other things, that priests of the
Greek church should subject them
selves to the bishops of the dioceses in
which they might locate, be they Latin
or Greek prelates.
The United States, as far aH the Gieek
church is concerned, is a missionary
country and has no Greek bishops. Tho
Latin bishops claim that a Greek priest
coming to this country must accept the
Jurisdiction of the Latin bishops of the
diocese in which they locate. Rev. Ard
man and many other Greek priests re
sist this claim, alleging tlmt the article
of tho union referring to this subject is
not effective In a missionary country
and thut they can otllciate heio under
the faculties given them bv a Greek
bishop of tho old country. In suiwott
of their resistance these Greek priests
aver that It was stipulated in tho ar
ticles o( union that the pope was ac
knowledged as tho head of their church
only In matters pertaining to faith and
doctrine, and that In the matter of
discipline tho Metropolitan of Lemuel g
was to be supreme.
RECEIVED HIS FACULTIES.
Rev, Ardman, as explained at length
yesterday, npplled for and received
faculties fom Bishop Hoban. Ho
claimed, however, that ho did so with
out tho knowledge or consent of his
congregation and that when ho learned
it was against the wishes of his par
ishioners thut he should bo under the
jurisdiction of tho Latin bishop, ho re
quested Bishop Hoban to strike his
name from the rolls.
Bishop Hoban's testimony was to tho
effect that Rev. Ardman was called
upon to subject himself to discipline for
writing an anarchical article condoning
the crime of Czolgosch, and when jn re
wponse to a summons to uppenr for trial
he aBked to be stricken from the roll of
diocesan nrlests, the bishop excom
municated him. '
Tho defense opened yesterday with
the testimony of a former pastor, Rev,
Dr. "W. J, Slemmowlcz, and a number
of the present members of tho congre
gation, who told that It was the pur
pose of the church to remain free fiom
the jurisdiction of the Latin bishop, and
thut t Is rlcht of the Greek churches
to call and release their own pastors
without consulting the hierarchy.
Then followed the testimony of a
number of Greek oriests from various
places, in which it was set forth that
they came here as missionary priests
with faculties from Greek bishops of
the old country, and that thev never
lecognized the Latin bishops of this
country, although the latter In every
instance sent them faculties. All of
them admitted, however, that they re
ceived and never surrendered these
faculties.
MERELY ACCEPTED THEM.
One of them. Rev. John Konstanca
vitch, exwlalned that he received the
faculties bv mail from the late Bishop
McGovein, of Hnrrisburg, and accepted
them, as he put it: "Just ns you would
a complimentary ticket to the opera
house."
Rev. Konstancavltcli went on to re
late, in answer to questions bv Mr.
Hnnd, that he was ordained bv Syl
vester, Cardinal Simbrotovlch, Metio
polltan of Lemberg, in Gallatia, and
dispatched bv him as a missionary
priest to the United Stales, armed with
faculties from one of the Gullatlan
bishops of the Greek church. Ho ic
ceived faculties from Bishop McGovein,
but did not by any word or act ac
knowledge the jurisdiction of tho Latin
bishop. He believed that the Latin
bishop had no jurisdiction over him,
and in conformity to this belief con
tinued to act under the faculties he
brought with him to this country with
out concerning himself about the un
solicited faculties' received from Bishop
McGovern.
On crobs-exumlnation, by Mr. Martin,
tho witness udmltted that the Metro
politan of the Greek church was ap
pointed by the pope. He also told that
Rev. Ardman was ordained and com
missioned 'n the same manner and by
the same prelates that ordained and
commissioned him.
WOULD NOT ACT UNDER THEM,
Rev, Stephen Moltar, of Mt. Carmel,
told a story similar to that of the pre
ceding witness regarding his ordina
tion, delegation and ignoring of the fac
ulties sent him bv Bishop McGovein.
Ho explained that ho refused to accept
the faculties given him by tho Latin
bishop because they weio not In accord
with tho usages, customs and discipline
of tho Greek chuich.
Rev. A. Bronchofskl, of Hartford,
Conn., who, like tho others, was sent
here by the Metropolitan of Lemberg,
told that after he hnd boon pastor of
a Gieek church in Hartford for seven
months, Bishop Tlernoy, pf the dio
cese or Huitfoi-d. sent him faculties,
which ho had not sought and which
he declined to act under, being of tho
opinion that the faculties given him
... ! CJreek '''sl'0P l' Gallatia ,wero
sulllclent for him In this country,
Going Pishing ?
Rubber

BOOTS
Samter Bros.
Rev. Nochalos Podcrlfckl, of Jersey
city, testified to being in the same
class us the preceding witnesses regard
ing ordination and commission, and
that he had refused to recognize the
faculties sent him by the bishop of
Newark. The rules of his church, ho
said, prescribed that when a priest was
transferred from one diocese to an
other, he must receive a release from
the one bishop's jurisdiction before he
can accept the jurisdiction of another.
He was given faculties bjj the Greek
bishop and sent out as a missionary.
If it were not that his church intended
he should continue under the jurisdic
tion of the Gallatlan bishop, it would
not have given him faculties, but ra
ther sent him to this country to re
ceive faculties from a bishop here.
Mr. Hand next proceeded to qualify
the witness as an expert authority on
the history and agreements of the
union between tho Roman and Greek
churches. The witness said ho hud stu
died it while in the gymnasium the pre
paratory school. It was pait of the regu
lar course of each of the four jjeais at
his university; one whole year had been
given up to Its especial study, and
more than 100 different books bearing
on this subejet had been thoroughly
read by him.
SOME TEST QUESTIONS.
Attorney Martin thought to test the
witness' knowledge and asked Bishop
Hoban to suggest some question to be
put to him. The bishop whispered
something to Mr. Martin and the latter
addressing the witness, said: " Who
pi escribes the regulations governing
the marriage of a Greek Catholic to a
Roman Catholic'."'
The witness looked tin at the celling,
bit his under lip, fidgeted about for
awhile, and then protested he did not
understand the question. Mr. Martin
repeated ltv The witness shrugged his
shoulders, and, after u few moments,
told Interpreter Martin Woyshner to
make it plain for him, that he under
stood the language, but not the sense
of the question, Ouco more Mr. Mar
tin put the question. The audience
had come to reallza that tho expert was
"stuck," and then a titter ran along the
line, The witness was nettled, and sud
denly bending forwurd, asked in oxclted
tones, "Tell me who gives Polish priests
the right to murry Greeks. I propound
that question?"
Mr. Martin said, "That will be all,"
and tho examination ended.
LIST OF FACULTIES,
Bishop Hoban was on tho stand for
further cross-examination during tho
afternoon, and produced, at Mr. Hand's
request of yesterday, a printed copy of
tho faculties given prleBts.
Later In the day, ono of the Greek
piiests, Rev. Mokar, was called to
show how these faculties aro not In
accord with tho iltes of tho Greek
church,
When asked by Mr, Hand to point
out In what they differed, he ran his
eye over tho various clauses, und' then
said: "Heie, for Instance, No. 21, Ro
sarium ut lion," etc., etc, "There, you
see, Is a difference." ,
"Did you get thut?" Judge Edwards
smilingly Inquired of Stenographer
Coston,
"Every syllable," truthfully, more or
less, responded tho stenographer,
