RoME,.March 6.-The Pope on receiv-
ing the parish priests recommended them
to preach Jesus Christ, His life and
teachings, and 10 guard their aocks
against infidelity and immortality so gen.
orally prevailing, the result Of corrupt
press. The Pope in all his exhortations
avoids mention Of the Virgin with the
purpose OF discountenancing Mariolatry,
which his predecessor 80 long encouraged.
It has shocked most Of the people that
the Pope, in his coronation speech, made
no allusion to the late Plus X, although
Cardinal De Pectro, in addressing the
Pope, had been eloquent in praise Of the
deceased Pope. The omission could not
be an accident, and has been variously
commented upon. The Pope and Car
dinal Franchi have determined on the
policy Of reconciling, as far as possible,
the interests Of the Church and State in
the questions pending with various gov.
ernments.
