WASHINGTON, Jan. lG.-Mgr. Satolli 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. Satolli:
The apostolic delegation is permanently es-
tablished in the United States. and you are
confirmed as the first delegate
o'CoNNELL.
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 Satoll and his mission
Early in December the faculty of theol-
ogy Of the Catholic University of America
in Washington transmitted to the person
tSSO
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. P. XIII to his most beloved son, Thomas
Bouquillon, dean of the faculty of theology of
the Catholic university at Washington:
BELOVED SoN-Health and apostolic benedic-
ton. The love and devotion which you and
your colleagues in the Catholic university
WulhinDtnn an fnlinifnnolxy
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 socitude which
we gave you in the mission of our venerable
Brother Francis, titular 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 to their fatherland.
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 col
leagues very lovingly in the Lord the apostolic
benediction.

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 sufficed 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.
DIR. McGlynn presented brief state
ment of isopinions 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.
1t is deplorable that any one should have
dared to speak of the pope's authority over
the church in America as foreign, and is a
sentiment and utterance enormously erro-
neous and scandalous.
