Show PRIESTS PRAISE ROOSEVELT. Resolutions Passed at Retreat at Notre Dame. I Notre Dame, Ind., Aug. 22. President Theodore Roosevelt was today praised and honored by the priests of Indiana, who, during the last week, have been in retreat here. The priests, after thorough discussion, passed resolutions praising the president for having entered en-tered into friendly negotiations with the Vatican concerning ecclesiastical affairs in the Philippine Islands. The priests think these negotiations will be continued until such an agreement shall have been reached as will fully satisfy the claims of justice and religious relig-ious rights and liberty for the friars and the Catholic people of the Philippine Philip-pine islands. The sympathy of the Catholics of Indiana was expressed for the friars of the Philippine islands. |
