serious questions would arise. and If the Holy Father
wished for their best Judgment this proposed inno-
walton they could only give 1t after full conference
with the suf'ragans The papa ALLOCATE was IN
formed accordingly.
What serious difficulties were apprchended 10 be
nsepagably connected with the Pope's wishes the
council did not explain TO Monsignor Satoll, but it
Was not long before he learned OF them through a
number OF anonymous articles attacking his mission
to the United States, all Of which, together with
cpistolary evidence. he promptly forwarded TO Rome
Up TO the time of the adjournment Of the council
the scholastic propositions were thought to be the
only serious matter presented by Monslgnor Satol
He forwarded his report TO Rome, and II reached the
Vatican early In December The Pope expressed his

In the meantime, however, the Holy Father, sup
