Excerpt from The American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 3: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy; November, 1890 When better times dawned upon the Church here, the difficulties surounding the priest were not entirely removed. The urgent demand for priests was, if anything, greater than before, owing to the ceaseless tide of immigration, largely Catholic; the professors in our seminaries were themselves for the most part missionaries, conversant with the difficul ties of the missionary field, and were not always so well up, it may be, with the strict requirements of the liturgy as could be desired; and the necessity they were under of crowding a long course into a brief space forced them to overlook certain points to which greater attention can be devoted at the present day. If it does not savor of temerity, it may still further be remarked that, when occasionally a missionary was raised to the episcopal dignity, the cruel lessons of circumstances, regretted by none more than by himself, may have followed him, and caused him, in the num ber and variety of his onerous duties, to tolerate certain de partures from the requirements of the liturgy the carrying out of which would have proven, under the circumstances, all but impossible. With these prefatory remarks I shall enter upon the subject indicated by the title of this article. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
