Wishes to Discuss His Decentralization Project with High Churchmen.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—The Pope has expressed a desire to see the principal archbishops and bishops of America, in order, says a Tribune dispatch from Rome, to discuss personally the best means of carrying on his project of decentralization, by which several attributes of the Congregation of the Propaganda will be transferred to Cardinal Gibbons, who, in turn, will delegate to the archbishops and bishops of the several ecclesiastical provinces a large quantity of business now dealt with by the propaganda. This, it is believed, can be carried on with greater competence by the local authorities, especially that part relating to all matters of differences between ecclesiastics and their bishops.
