The Pope, on receiving the parish priests,
: recommended them % preach Jesus Christ,
Il His life and teachings, and to guard their
D focks against the infdelity and immorality
I SO genera ly prevailing, the resu t of a
j corrupt press. The Pope in ali his ex'
hortations avoids mention of the Virgin,
u with the purpose of d~iscountenan ing
Mariolatry, which his predecessor SO long
). encouraged. 1t has shocked most people
|, that the Pope in his coronation speech made
u no allusion to the late Plus TX, although

Pontif, had been eloquent in praise of the
s deceased Pope. The omission could not
therefore, be accidental, and has been vari
ously commented upon. The Pope and

d policy of reconciling, as far as possible, the
. interests of Church and State in questions
I pending with the various governments.
