Vatican Denies Receiving Protest.
Female Choir Voices
Have Not Been Forbidden.
(Associated Press Cablegram)
ROME, May 11.—The Vatican
authorities
deny having received objections from American archbishops
regardin
gthe (sic) impossibility of enforcing the papal decree providing for
the
restoration of the Gregorian chant and the banishment of women from
church
choirs. It is pointed out in this connection that the decree did
not call for the exclusive use of the Gregorian chant, nor did it
forbid
congregational singing, including, naturally, female voices.
