Place ON His Arrival.

The object OF Caroinai McNAOsAeJS
VIsit-CeremOnIes that VIII Take
Place on His Arrival.
New York Tribune.
Cardinal McCloskey will sail for
Europe on Saturday, August z, by the
steamer Pereire of the French Trans
atlantic line. On arriving at Havre,
the Cardinal viii proceed Immediately
to Rome, to assist az the ConsistOry
which will take place in September, and
to receive his title as Cardinal-priest of
the Holy Roman Church.
When a new Cardinal is created, he
is appointed titularly to one of the
churches in Rome. The Pope alone
has power to confer this title, which is
one Of the Insignia of the Cardinalate.
The ceremony which accompanies the
comforting Of the title is very sOlemn,
and when carried out in full a some
what complicated one. A secret Con-
sistOry Of the College of Cardinals, at
which the Pope assists, is first of all
held in AuIa Apostolica in the Vatican.
All the Cardinals who are in Rome on
that day will assemble in the Vatican
at an early hour of the morning. They
will be dressed in their robes of Office,
and each one will be attended by his
chaplains. The Pope will enter the
Hall first, and the Cardinals-among
them Cardinal McCloskey-in the
order Of their dignity, Will follow. The
Pope will take his seat on the throne,
and the Cardinals remain standing.
The Holy Father will then bid the new
l. - l..
whereupon the Master of Ceremonies
will conduct Cardinal McCloskey to
! the Pope, who will address him on the
nature and dignity of the Cardinalate.
Then, approaching the throne, the Car
dinal will genufect, kiss the Pope's
toe. afterward his hands, and finally
will be embraced by the Holy Father.
The Master of Ceremonies will next
lead the Cardinal back to the body Of
his brethren IN rank, each of whom
will receive him with the kiss of peace.
If the regular order of the Consist
DRY is carried out, Cardinal McCloskey,
after having received the kiss of peace,
will receive, on his knees, from the
Pope, the GdIerlm TuJrunI, or red hat,
which the Holy Father Will place on
the head of the Cardinal with his own
hands. In comforting the hat, the
Pope addresses the Cardinal in Latin,
of which the following is translation:
''To the praise Of Almighty God and
the honor of the Holy See, receive the /
red hat, the insignia of the exalted
dignity of the Cardinalate, as a sign
that even to death and the etfusiOn of
blood, for the exaltation of the holy
faith, for the peace and tranquility of
Christian peoples, for the increase and
stability of the Holy Roman Church,
you ought to hold yourself steadfast. |
In the name Of the Father and of the |
Son and of the Holy Ghost"
The ceremony Of CLOSING the mouth"
of the new Cardinal viii take place at |
another COnsistOry. the Pope therein |
prohibits the Cardinal from presuming |
to speak IN the COnsistOries until he, !
by opening his mouth, shall have given |
him permission to speak. In a third |
Consistory, the Pope bids the newly !
elected Cardinal to retire until he shall |
inquire from the elder Cardinals wheth- |
er it appears fitting to them that he |
open the mouth of the new Cardinal. |
All the Cardinals conserving, the |
newiy-electcd brother is recalled, and /
the Pope bids him approach for the open
ing Of the mouth. This consists in the
Holy Fathers simply giving the Car
dinal permission TO speak III the Con-
sistories and elsewhere. The ring is
then conferred on the Cardinal and /
placed on his hand by the Pope, who 1
announces to him the church in Rome
TO which he is titularly assigned. 1t is
probable that much Of this ceremony
will be dispensed with in the present
instance, and that the title will simply /
be announced at the first Cousistory,
with which everything will end. After
this Cardinal McCloskey will take his
rank among the College Of Cardinals
The ceremony Of installation in the
church to which Cardinal McClDskey
will be assigned by the Pope, follows
soon after the Consistory. This cere-
mony will be marked with great sOlem-
nifty, and it is thought viii attract
much attention in Rome, as being the
first Of its kind ever witnessed
IN connection with an Amer
lean Cardinal. The American
residents and those visitors IL Rome,
as we'll as many Of other nationalities,
will attend. Suitable measures will be
taken to signalize so important an
event in the history of Catholicity in
America. Solemn Mass will be cele-
bratcd hy the Cardinal in his titular
church, and he Will probably deliver
IN address on the occasion.
