Show TWO TIMELY QUESTIONS. Should a Catholic salute all priests she may meet' on the street, or only those whom she knows I If a new curate comes to her own parish, should she' bow on meeting him or defer doing so until she had been formally introduced I Generally speaking ,a Catholio should salute ' all priests, as a mark of respect for their exalted office. In towns or small cities, where priests are few in number and unually known to Catholics by sight at. least, this rule should be observed. But since clergymen of other denominations, notably the Episcopalian, dress so nearly like priests as to deceive sometimes even the elect, it is not "always wise to attempt to follow the rule iu large cities, where there is likelihood of mistakes. |
