One-Sided. ISHOP BURKE (Ro- man Catholic), of Mis- souri, is reported to have excommunicated from his church Mrs. Charles Miller (late Miss Moriarity), her mother, and other relatives and friends who were pres- ent recently at her wedding. She was married early in December to Mr. Miller in a Presbyterian church, by a Protestant clergyman. Bishop Burke says that sort of thing doesn’t go, and he proposes to put a stop to it. It would simplify matters a good deal for some folks if the Roman Catholic Church would systematic- ally expel every member of its communion who married a Protestant, and all con- niving relatives and friends.
