Ecclesiastical bill dangers and proposed safeguards analyzed

It notes potential conflicts over orthodoxy tests, diocesan variances, and costs.
Disendowment costs of the Irish Church prove costly
The Irish Church disestablishment process has produced large compensation payments. About 1,500 incumbents and 970 curates were paid, totaling over 8 million for church officers, with other charges bringing the total to about 10.37 million. The commission still holds mortgages and expects a five million balance for national use, though costs exceeded initial projections. The piece mentions intercommunion debates and Cowley burial service incidents reflecting tensions within the church.
