Undsr the tion of the Catholic Diocese of Ham-- F'mcn-:«m.*wt.' the name would be iton, and thus will silence a con-- changed to "Family Court" troversy that has aroused Protestant-- ism in Hamilton and had repercus-- sions in the Orange Order throughout Western Ontario. This information on a highly con-- troversial question was received yes-- terday from an authoritative source. A month ago the Diocese petitioned the Ontario Legislature {® power to borrow money, and also to drop the word "Roman" from its title. These changes required a private bill in the Provincial Legislature, and this bill was sponsored by Argue Martin, Con-- servative member for Hamilton West. On Monday, when the private bill re-- ceived first reading, Mr. Martin was absent. and the motion was put by E J, Murphy of Toronto. t Deletion of the word "Roman" was protested by almost every "Protestant faith in Hamilton. The ancient con-- troversy as to what was the. "Catholic' Church was renewed, nmriezrousums saw the move as a di blow at their faiths. Bishop McNally of Ham-- ilton Diocese, said in reply, that the + change was proposed merely to short-- en an unwieldy title. The argument settled down to dic-- tionary meanings of the word "cath-- olic." As an adjective, and spelled with a small "c," it means no more than "universal"; raised to the rark of noun, but still with smaill "c," it is defined as: "A person who belongs to * the universal Christian church." But -- as soon as the initial is capitalized, it becomes: "A member of a Catholic church; specifically. a member of the » Roman Catholic Church; a Roman Catholic." The bill will follow its normal course from the House to the Privae Bills Committee; there Conservatives were ready to eliminate the title--changs, and leave it a request for authoriza-- tion to borrow money. One Protes-- ant and Western Ontario M.P.P. saw the borrowing as the root of the whole matter. The diocese, he said, recently faced with the need of financing ex-- tensive building. must flioat a bond issue which would artract protestant investors more strongly if the word "Roman" were eliminated. _ Settling the whole matter, it was learned yesterday that the controver-- * S sial clause of the bill would be drop-- ped. The diocese's title w"! be a mat-- tercifor the Private Bills Committee to decide.
