To the Editor 9 of the Pilct.
Sin—The probable ‘appointment ab be
made to the vacant see of Waterford and. ‘Lismore,
st-;has created no considerable surprise throughout the-
country. “fhe public mind is quite alive‘on this sub-
ject, and anxiously awaits the developement of the.
causes which have led to this most t unexpected deci-.
the Holy-
e. Ther
ase in which a more perfect nani existed as to
propriety of the choice made than in the selection ‘of
octor Foran. All the parish priests of that Diocess,
assembled-in the great church of Waterford, under
the awful sanction: of an oat h, taken in the most |
that they
were uninfluenced i in ie vote they w ere about to give
i
the “person, in thelr judgment’ most worthy of their,
choice. The'selection was sanctioned by the unani-'
mous approbation of: the bishops of the province
there assembled ; and, yet, it seeins that a postula-
tien made. under such cireumst ances is rejected by
e Holy’ See.’ Thero can be little doubt that the’
Irieh ebureh, devoted as it is to the ‘cause of ‘jnde-,
e| pendence, will closely investigate the causes which’
have produced this ‘strange determination at Rome.
The bishops, it is said, are as little pleased with it .as ~
the priests and the laity. .
