bons.
BALTIMORE, Dee. G-The 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
dinal Gibbons An effort 10 interview
him on the subject was unavailing, tho
only thing that leaked out from him
being a confirmation of the report
What was the cause of the appoint
ment or when 1t was made, he refused
TO say.
The announcement, il is almost I'M
necessary to say, will cause sensation
in Catholic circles throughout the coun-
try. Why Cardinal Gibbons should be
overlooked aud such plenary powers be
given to one directly from the vatican,
is only one among the perplexing ques-
tions asked about It.
1t had been rumored, indeed, that
IsAxvsz>s--alt- In .sNs.. ition In the re asona
above named, had bseh cent TO Xmers
ica on a secret mission, as a 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
haN 81
is that Pope Leos long continued Ill
health has determined him to delegate
| such duties as properly devolve upon
him to one he can implicitly trust
Such a man is undoubtedly Mgr IA.
TOLL, who, next to Cardinal Rampolli. il
generally credited with standing neare~
TO the pope than any other among the
| Catholic dignitaries at Rome. IL 10 .
plausible reason, but whether II IL 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 1t is a well known fact
that the eNcommunicated priest is de-
sirous of being restored to orders, and
is agitating the subject with all tho
means in his power.
One of the chief reasons why he re-
quests a 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 no will
let it pass, and probably the first action
| by Mgr. Satolli IA his new official ca
pacity as arbitrator, will be a reopen
ing of the case.
