THE PoPB ON DIovRCE.
Rome, Feb. 1.-THE Latin text Of the
Papal encycical letter against divorce fills
twelve columns Of the Asservatore Romano.

of marriage from all civil jurisdiction what

an exhortat on to the universal episcopal to
communicate his teaching to the faithful for
their welfare in both worlds.
