BY THE POPE'S ORDER
Monsignor SatollI Making Peace
Among American Catholics.
OUR SCHOOLS NOT CONDEMNED
The Vatican Sides Wish the LIBERAL or
Gibbons-Ireland Rarty-Dr. Nc
Glynn to BE RESTORED.

ST. PAUL, Dec l6-Archsishop Ireland talked
at length today to Q representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press on the missio5 OF Monsignor Satoiii
and the extent OF his powers his statement be-
ing particularly interesting in view OF the con-
troversy now on in regard 80 this matter. Arch
bishop Ireland said the resorts that Satolli had
been recalled or was Likely to be soon recalled
are absurd. This report agd others revealing
similar animus are the Inventions OF parties
suffering defeat from his presence. He repre-
sents the pope, and opposition to him 10 oppo-
sition to the pope. He was sent directly BY Leo
to speak to the archbishops the mind OF Leo on
the school question. He Gid it This question
had for some time agitated the church in
America, and the cry vert up ceaselessly thas
Rome should speak amt re-estabilsn peace.
Rome resolved to do So and the ADDRESS OF
Satolh was put in his mouth by the pope before
leaving Rome It has since been reported to the
pope verbally and has received his approval
This is positive and uedeniable fact. The
controversy is finally settled.
Satolli also received the amplest powers to
settle all disputes between the bishops and
priests In each case he "a to have two assist
ants chosen from promieelt members OF the
clergy, and his decision is 90 be absolutely with
out appeal. The authority with which he is in
vested is unusual, but this shows that the pope
puts unusual confidence In him. Nearly ninety
dioceses in the United States and numerous
church cases are awaiting settlement Some OF
them are important and far-reachlng, ana 10
maintain, as heretofore, court OF last appeal in
remote Rome is to render difficult and tedious
the proceedings leading to a conclusion. The
pope has conferred boon on ell parties, said
the archbishop, by placing. for time at least,
supreme tribunal i'll America. OF course, no
preiatc occupying q see IN America, however
high placed, could serve AZ O judge in cases
where his brother prelates gre entangled. Some
important cases are already before Satolli.
He has the further missi0n to inform himself
accurately about American ecclesiastical affairs
in general and report regularly thereon to
Rome. As time goes on afd new emergencies
arise he will receive other specific powers, and
the archbishop thinks that he will soon be in
vested with the title and all the extensive pow
ers OF a regular delegate apostolic.
The archbishop added taat satollis address
on the school question covered the whole
long religious instruction; but that there is and
can be no objection to the state laying claim to
and busying itself with the secular part. There
is no room for the accusation that the church
opposes or deprecates the efforts of the state to
remove the ignorance from the children of the
people. OF course, where the state schools are
SO conducted as to prevent .he religious educa-
ton of the child, or to endanger its religious
faith, Satolli demands thai Catholics, as far as
circumstances warrant, masitsin special Catho-
lie schools, but he shows plainly the willing
ness of the church to do heg share toward paral.
lei action by virtue of which religion and secu-
lar knowledge is impaired without one imped.
ing the other; without church or state covering
the sphere of the other.
