 WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-Mgr. Satolh re- ceived at the Catholic university the follow ing cable message from Dr. O'Connell, the American secretary of the propaganda, who accompanied Mgr. Satolli to this coun- try and recently returned to Rome;
 To Mgr. satollE
 The apostolic delegation is permanently es- tablished fin the United States. and you are confirmed as the first delegate.
 The importance of this message, proceed ing as it does from the American secretary of the propaganda, will be readily appre- ciated. Inquiries at the Catholic univer- sity here, where Mgr. Satolli resides, fully confirm the authenticity of the dispatch This decision the Vatican considers to be sufficient answer to the opposition to Mgr. Satolli and his mission.
 Early in December the faculty of theol- ogy of the Catholic University of America in Washington transmitted to the person of Leo XIII their thanks for the sending of an apostolic delegate to the United States and for the selection of the university as his place of residence. The following au- tograph letter was received in reply;
 Leo P. F. XIII to his most beloved son, Thomas
 Bouquillon, dean of the faculty of theology of
 the Catholic university at Washington;
 BELOVED SoS-Health and apostolic benedic- ton. The love and devotion which you and your colleagues in the Catholic university at Washington felicitously manifest in your joint address, written at the approach of Christmas. were very pleasing to us. We re- joice indeed to see that you welcome with pleas ure the proof of our paternal solicitudc which we gave you in the mission of our venerable Brother Francis, utular archbishop of Lepanto, and we sincerely trust that in the discharge of your noble ministry you will endeavor with all solicitude that the students taught by you may be the defense and glory of the church and an ornament 10 their fat herland.
 In the meantime invoking upon you and upon your students an abundant outpouring of divine wisdom and of every other heavenly gift, we impart to you, beloved son, and to your ool- leagues very lovingly in the Lord the apostolic benediction.
 Given at Rome, at St. Peter's, the 18th day of December. in the year 1ss2, in the fifteenth year of our pontihcate. LEO P. F. XIII.
 Dr. McGlynn's Teachings Not Obnoxious.
 Archbishop Satolli authorizes the pub lication of statement in regard to the pope's action in the case of Dr. McGlynn, of which the following is summary; On the very day of the reconciliation of Dr. McGlynn with the church public no- tice was given of it, with the statement that Mgr Satolli had absolved from cen. sure and reconciled Dr. McGlynn by special power for the purpose requested from and granted by the holy father
 This information so expressed should have sufiiced to satisfy every one. Every sincere Catholic should at once have felt himself bound in conscience to recognize that all had been done in the case that was expedient and in accord with the spirit of the Catholic church.
 Dr. McGlynn presented brief state ment of his opinions on moral and economic matters, and it was judged not contrary to the doctrine constantly taught by the church, and as recently confirmed by the holy father in the encyclical rerum no varum.
 It is deplorable that any one should have dared to speak of the pope's authority over the church in America as foreign, and is . sentiment and utterance enormously erro- neous and scandalous.
 The Pope's Acts Are Supreme.
 The action of the church and of the holy see in the things that belong to it is supe- rior to every man-made boundary--univer- sal and proper to every country in which there may be Catholics. For which reason 1t seems to us exceedingly opportune to recommend due respect in every case to ec- clesiastical authority, and before all to that of the holy see, as well as to that of the council of Baltimore.
