NEW YoRE, Jan, l5,-The opposition
to Mgr satoIli and his mission has
been aummanly ended by the pope.
The action comes in new honor and
greater power to the papal ALLOCATE,
'The apostolic delegation is permanent
~ establisheI IN tho United States, and
you are confirmed as the first delegate"
were the words OF a cable message
from Rome received by Mgr satolli in
Washington yesterday It was signed
by o'Connell, the American secretary
Of the propaganda.
AT the Catholic University in WASH
ington, where Mgr satolli resides, it
was also leurned that Rev. +, q Rocker,
OF Albany, has been made secretary OF
the apostolic delegation, Tho latter
has been in Rome, but is now on his
way to this city. He no doubt brings
the papal order creating the delegation
! and CONFIRMING all the powers OF Mgr
Satolli.
The recent journalistic controversy
involving ArChbisllops Corrlgan and
ireland and others high in the church
has evidently created profound feeling
at the vatican. A cable message dated
Rome, to-day, says Pope Leo is greatly
interested IN the situation in America
and desirous OF putting an end to tho
ecclesiastical differences existing here.
With this purpose, the important mes
sage goes on to say, the pope is prepar.
ing an eneycliCal to the American
episcopate advising harmouyand union,
Father Connolly, Archbishop CORR.
gan's secretary, furnishes the following
Statement:
1.-THE sovereign PonttI. as the vatican
council defines, enjoys immediate iuris'
diction over the entire flock OF Christ.
The primacy OF the Apostolic See car
ries with 1t from its very nature tho
right to appoint representative in
any diocese Of the world. 10 deny
this is to deny the faith. Consequently
when the holy father is pleased to make
q delegate apostolic he has perfect
right to do so, More than this to doubt
the wisdom OF the holy see, in deter.
mining toappoint such representative,
no Catholic who Is well instructed
would for moment think OF doing,
We all receive this decision oil the
holy luther aa we receive all other
decisions emanating from him, with the
profoundest reverence.
Before the Holy See had acted, there
might have been room for difference
OF opinion. Now none exists. For my
part gladly receive and welcome tho
news in question, always surprising 1t
TO be authentic"
No official announcement OF the ap.
pointment has reached Archbishop Cor.
rigan nor does he expect any. Speaking
as his Representative Father Connolly
stated that whatever might be said In
regard to tho result OF the appointment
Of Mgr. satoli apostolic delegate must
necessarily be conjecture only.
Father Connolly explained that the
& United States is under the Congrega.
ton OF the Propaganda, and that Just mt
present it was impossible to state
whether the apostolic delegation would
bring this territory under u new board
Of direction. The appointment, he
said, was not entirely an innovation, as
appointments OF a like nature had been
made in other countries. In San Do.
mingo, South America, the papal repre-.
sentative, he said, occupied position
alrnoss similar TO the Office which Mgr
Satolli would hold, while there were
other delegates from Rome also located
in South America and in many parts Of
the Old World.
Archbishop Corrigan himself could
not BIO seen. II was announced that no
had prepared his statement upon read.
ing the report Of the appointment and
had gone out.
eArchbishop Corrigan," said Father
Connolly, accepts the ruling Of the
Holy Father as right. There was room
fol. an opinion opposed to this action
previous to the appointment. Now,
however, there can be but ono view OF
the matter"
Mgr. satolli gave out at Washington
to-day q statement in regard to the
pope's action in tho caseof Dr.. McGlYnn
and in 1t took occasion to use some very
strong language concerning tho recent
newspaperipublications. The statement
is as follows:
On tho very day OF tho reconciliation
Of DIR. Mc6lynn with the church, pub.
lie notice was given OF it, with tho
y statement that Mgr had absolved from
censuro and reconciled Dir. McGlynn by
epecial power for the purpose requested
from and granted by the holy father;
and, moreover, that the absolution had
n boon given because Dr. McGlynn had
willingly accepted the conditions laid
down by the holy father as necessary
and sufficient.
This information, so expressed, should
have suaicod to satisfy everyone with
the reconciliation carried out by au-
thority specially delegated by the holy
father and with the conditions called
forby tho holy father. Then 1t 10 we'll
B to mako several reflections: First, that
as soon as ii was Understood that these
conditions were complied with, every
sincere Catholic should at once have
felt himself bound in conscience to roc.
ognize that all had been done In tho
case that was expedicnt In accord with
the spirit Of tho Catholic church; sec.
ond, that the selection OF the proper
time and tho manner to give public In
iormation OF tho condi tlonS belonged to
the authority Of tho church, andwhen
the holy father should find II opportune,
after the reception Of tho documents
which wero Immediately forwarded;
third, everyone could sec that the i'm.
mediate publication OF these conditions
was for prudential reasons omitted, to
avoid talk that might oppose tho good
done by doing away with tho calamity
which had for 80 long weighed upon d
priest, by reconoillng him with tho
inoth0r church, II this result has not
boon obtained aud u this wise silence
has been unacceptable 10 any one, II
