Vh0 Claims OF AmeE1cO KOE u S0EWAA0As
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In discussing the likelihood OF our soon having
an American cardinal the claims OF the Catholics
In the United States have not been quite forgotten,
though not much insisted on. Indeed, there is no
doubt that Plus TX. feels CRATE uly as the best
Catholic among us that here aOne-0r, permit me
TO utter the whole truth, in the English-speaklng
world aione-is there at present true liberty for
The Church. Would that this luminous fact were

midst, as well rs elsewhere

gratitude or courtesy to Italy, or to Germany. as
compared, at least, with the United States Why
not, then, overlook their pretensions and be just

Of Italy and Germany but little Is due py the Holy
Father; but more is DUE perhaps, than ever before

have ever had certain number OF seats allotted
10 them in the Sacred College 1t would scarcely be
polite or Just to diminish that number under
preeent circumstances, when they are suffering
persecution Tor the faith.
