new journal, entitled Luther, has been
projected, which is aimed at the Pope,

Constitution and Peters Pence, said,

cies contained in the book, yet it was
written that the time would came when
the Holy See would be forced to live
upon the charities Of the world, but they
would never be wanting for money.
