A NOTABLE DrsPENsATroN BY THE PopE-An
Interesting decision has just been made by the
Pope. Baron Sanbor Pepper Podraghy, Of Vi
years ago, is betrothed to Countess Blanche Cas-
tione, daughter Of a former singer, who belonged
to the old nobility. The baronet is devout
Hebrew and the lady pious Catholic. Both
prayed for dispensation from the Curia. For
more than 200 years such dispensation has
not been given. The Curia decided to allow the
marriage II solem nfzed in a Catholic church and
by Catholic clergyman. Baron Podraghy
signed q declaration binding himself to educate
the children of this marriage in the Catholic
faith. The Pope, In a remarkable brief founded
on the canon law, stated that marriages between
Catholics, heathens or Hebrews were permissi.
bic, for the reason that thereby there was the
possibility Of saving soul by conversion to the
Catholic faith.
