The Pope is so well pleased with the man
ner In which Archbishop Satoll has per-
formed ths duties connected with his mis-
sion as ALLOCATE that he has permanently
established the apostolic delegation in the
United States and has appointed Mgr. Sa-
TOLL the first apostolic delegate. speedy
as well as effective rebuke is thus given to
those who have bitterly and unsparingly
criticised the course of Satolli in dealing
with the school cont oversy and In rein
stating Dr. McGlynn. and there Is likely to
be rapid reaction in sentiment among
Roman Catholics in this country in favor
of the apostolic delegate.
The high church cause represented in the
school controversy by Archbishop Corrigap
Of New York and his followers, has thus
been given a severe blow, largely through
their own instrumentaity; for they espoused
the side Of incorporating hostility to tho
public schools, making a most bitter contest
over the matter, and Satoll, who has plain
ly sided with the party headed by Arch
bishop Ireland, favoring a compromise be-
tween the interests of the public and
parochial schools, has been sustained di
reotly by the vatican in the most pro-
nounced manner possible.
The extent of the Pope's approval of
Archbishop Satolli's course is indicated by
tie fact that almost Immediately upon the
receipt of tie cable message the delegate set
about the preparation of an answer to those
who had criticised his various acts since
coming to America and issued an official
statement for publication. He takes occa-
sion to rebuke those who have spoken of the
Pope's authority over the church in the
United States as 'foreigu, " as well as thoss
ecclesiastics and leymen who have bitterly
assaulted the reputation of venerable pro-
lates Of this church, and he employs most
emphatic language in dealing with his OPP
ponents
One Of the most interesting results OF the
announcement Of Satolli's appointment az
first delegate is an official statement in ref
erencs to the McGlynn case. He Gays that
it was deemed best to withhold the exact
terms of McGlynn's restoration until they
had boon laid before the ecclesiastical au-
thorities in Rome, which has been done,
and owing to the unhappy efforts
it is considered best to disclose
the facts in the case at this time. He
states that the political doctrines OF Nc
Glynn were decided to be not opposed to
the doctrines of the Catholic church, Nc
Glynn expressed regret for any conduct
that might have been disrespectful TO
clesiastical authority; and that McGynn
promised to make voluntary trip to Rome
at some time not lon. in tho future. 1t
seems, therefore, that there was no reason
why DR.. McCilynn should not DO rsinstated,
save the opposion Of Archbishop Corrigan.
So far as the school controversy is con-
csrned tho appointment Of Archbishop
Satolli as apostolic DELEGATE is likely 10
strengthen the party in the church who do
not hold that it is au objectionable sin to
send their children to the public schools,
and while the pops has called for the
opinions of the bishops of the church in the
United States upon the school controversy
it is plain to be seen that the vatican is
favoraby disposed toward the Faribault
plan OF compromise advocated by Arch
bishop Ireland.
