AMERICAN PoPE.
Mgr. satoIIi. the PapaI LeEate. Is Given
Power Above That OF Cardinal Glib

Mgr. Satolli. the PapaI LeEate, Is Given
Power Above That OF Cardinal Glib
bons.
\ BALTIMORE, Dec. GZThe announce
ment made Sunday night that Mgr
Satolli had been appointed by the pope
with full power to settle, without APP
peal, all religious questions between
bishops and priests in the United States,
has caused considerable anxiety in
Catholic circles here.
The announcement was made by Car
dinaI Gibbons An effort TO interview
him on the subject was unavailing, the
only thing that leaked out from him
being a confirmation of the report.
What was the. cause of the appoint
ment or when il was made, he refused
10 say.
The encouragement, IL is almost un-
necessary to say, will cause a sensation
in Catholic circles throughout the coun-
try. Why CARDINAL Gibbons should be
overlooked and such plenary powers be
given 10 one directly from the vatican,
is only one among the perplexing ques-
tions asked about it
II had been rumored,, indeed, that
Mgr. Satolli, in addition to the reasons
above named. had been sent TO Amer
lea on a secret mission, as special rep
resentative of the pope, but none had
conjectured that he would be intrusted
with such autocratic power as would
practically make him the pope Of
America
The chief reason for the action, and
the one that obtains general evidence,
is that Pope Leo's long, continued i'll
health has determined h7rh TO delegate
such duties as properly s.devOlve upon
him TO one he can implicitly trust
Such man is undoubtedly Mgr. Sa-
tolli, who, next 70 Cardinal Rampolli, is
generally credited with standing nearer
TO the pope than any other among the
Catholic dignitaries az Rome. 1t is a
plausible reason, but whether 1t is the
true one can not of course be definitely
known at present
An interesting subject which came up
in this discussion is whether the famous
DIR. McGlynn case will be taken up by
Mgr. Satolli II is well known fact
that the excommunicated priest is de-
sirous of being restored TO orders, and
is agitating the subject with all the
means in his power.
One of the chief reasons why he re
quests hearing is that sufficient evil
dence was not presented in his behalf
at Rome. He has frequently stated
that If the evidence had been taken in
New York, his noted controversy with
Archbishop Corrigan would have result
ed in his favor.
Now that such an opportunity is of
fered him it is not thought that he will
let It pass, and probably the first action
by Mgr. Satolli In his new official ca
pacity as arbitrator. will be a reopen
ing of the case
