fUou Journal
A Berlin dispatch states that in view
Of the precarious state OF the Pope's
health, the Catholic powers of Europe
have agreed to make the strictest use
OF their ancient prerogative to insure
regularity In the election OF q successor.
By decree OF the eleventh General
Council, held in 1879 under Pope Alex
ander I'LL, the cardinals, and the car
dinals alone, to the exclusion OF the
rest Of the clergy, and the people and
crowned heads, were accorded the
right of electing, creating, confirming
and enthroning q Pope, provided that
the candidate receive the votes OF two
thirds of the electing cardinals. Pre-
vious to this decree innumerable diff
culties occurred, from the interference
of the soyereigns with the elections and
their claims to the right Of confirming
the Pope elect. The Emperor Justinian,
In the year $50. issued decree to the
effect that no election Of q Pope
should be considered valid, or
confirmed, without the consent of
the emperor, but Constantine ~, in
ga, restored to the church the liberty OF
choosing tho Pope without imperial
sanction. In 773 Pope Hadrian L., of
his own accord, gave Charlemange and
his successors the right Of confirming
the Pope's election, which, however,
Pope Leo VIII, who had been elevated
to the papacy by the Emperor Otho,
granted that sovereign and his success
sors the right OF confirming the pal al
elections. In 1869 Pope Nicholas de-
creed that the election should devolve
on the cardinals, with the approval Of
the clergy and the people. There was,
however, further trouble, aud in 1861
Hildebrand refused to receive consecra-
tion without the approval Of the en-
peror. The difficulty was settled by the
Council Of 1179. as stated, and the car
dinalsInow have the exclusive right Of
electing and seating u successor to
Plus TX. The College OF Cardinals,
when full, has about seventy. five men,
bers, two-thirds Of whom are Italians, q
vast disproportion, and not in accord
ance with the constitution Of SectuS w.,
which prescribes that cardinals should
be selected from all the Christian ma
tions. At present, Italy has over fifty
cardinals; Germany, three; France,
four; Austria, Ireland, England, the
United States and Central America. one
each. while South America has none.
| The large proportion of Italian cardi-
nails is due to the fact that Plus TX de-
sires to secure preponderating ultra
marine influence in the church, and is
afraid that larger number OF foreign
ers might somewhat change the tradi-
tional policy. It will be seem, from
what has been said, that the anxiety Of
the Pope lest there should be any inter-
ference with the election of a successor
Is natural, as he regards such interfer-
ence as defiance OF the established
decree Of church council. AS stated
in the dispatch, to which reference has
been made, the Catholic powers have
resolved to see that the election Is held
without interference. as provided by the
Council Of 1179.
