Bishop Chatard of the Indiana diocese issued a decree during Lent requiring Catholics who belong to secret societies to see their confessors. The measure follows the pope's ban on such groups. Those already in societies may keep membership, but applicants on file must withdraw. Communicants were told to follow confessors, and the decree was read in all churches. Some clergy expect individual case adjustments with a warning that non confessing Catholics may lose their standing.
