Mgr, SAtollis Appointments Supplies APP
pealS, AZ Least.
Yesterday afternoon an INTEItIGRN-
car reporter called on Right Rev. Bish-
OPP Kahn, and solicited an expression Of
his views as to the permanent mission
OF Monsignor satolIi, as outlined in the
dispatches to the press. The bishop
said no could not form an idea of the
scope of tho delegates power until he
had seen his commission. His duties
and his authorities would depend alto
gether on the pope's charge.
He thought the idea Of having a per.
ment delegate in this country good
one, and one that the priests should
welcome, Heretofore an appeal lay
from the bishop OF diocese to the
archbishop OF the province, II an az
grieved priest were not then satisfied,
an appeal lay to Rome, but to take q
case there was costly piece OF bust;
ness. The appellant must hire one OF
the ecclesiastical lawyers who abound
in Italy to represent him, and the ex-
penses sometimes amounted to o hard
ship,
Monsignor satolli will represent in
America the ecclesiastical power OF the
pope. Instead of taking an appeal to
Rome, it will be taken to the delegate,
Rome's representative in America, "He
can have, of course" said Bishop Kahn,
nothing whatever to do with temporal
affairs, In that he differs from q
nuncio to a Catholic government. lie
is the representative OF the pope'a tenn.
poral power to tho government. Satolli
Is the representative Of the eccleslaati'
cal power to the bishops.
1--WE never wanted q nuncio IN TINS
country. There Is no reason for any.
Tho pope has no temporal power II
he really had a temporal government
there might DO q reason to have q
nuncio appointed to America, but as
things ara there can he none. Anuncio
is an ambassador or minister, while q
delegate is but a permanent legGte-an
appellate court Tor ecclesiastical cases. "
When asked about tho rrmored
schism OF the church and the establish
ment OF q practically separate papacy
in America, tho bishop said:
"That is ridiculous. There IS moth
ing in tho story. never heard oil such
n movement, and think II ono had
been on foot / would have known OF it.
We could not approve OF schism in
this country, having so often condemned
it in other countries"
'Do you regard, the present rumor. o.
tho pope's possible coming to America
to live as having any truth undcr itT
"Not particle, That is out OF the
question. Yet tho pope has q very
warm friendship for the American poo
pie. He knows, in fact, that tho church
in this country has creator freedom
than anywhere Look, for instance
at France; it is greatly hampered there,
compared TO its immunity from restric'
ton in this land. In my last interview
with the pope he expressed tho liveliest
friendship for America.
"fhen, too, the church has grown SO
in this country that it ia probably the
most important ecclesiastical province,
That is one reason for having perma-
nent delegate here. The business has
grown too unwirldy to BIO sent TO Rome
direct. Mgr. Satol.i, you will under
stand, will not have original Jurisdiction
in church cases. The bishops retain
that, rs always"
Concerning DR.. McGlynn, Bishop
Kahn said he thought Mgr, Satolli's ac'
ton was right. The doctor had been
misunderstood in many respects, and
besides has made all the reparation that
could be asked. Some OF his most re-
cent utterances the bishop thought
were to DO regretted, and caused renew,
ed suspicion that he was not Just right
in his mental balance.
AS the reporter said good day, the
bishop prophosied that the story OF an
American schism in the church would
DO denied by wire before the INTE1LI-
dENcER had it in type.
