in ecclesiastical discipline and canon law.

or later, perhaps soon after tue arrival Of
Mgr Martineli. The present auditor is in
the diplomatic service of the Vatican. and

only be 10 advance him step. as he has
gwen great satisfaction at his post here, and
has earned promotion.
Mgr Sbarrett comes of a line OF clergy
men celebrated for their devotion IN the
church About 400 years ago there was
Cardinal Sbarretti who was wealthy. This
cardinal ierta bcnefice to the vatican, with
the proviso that any or his family in the
direct line who should elect TO enter the
church should receive support from the
fund.
Since that time there has always been
Sbarretti In the church, some OF them rising
to the ranks OF the cardinals. Mgr. Sbar-
retti is the last OF a long and honorable
line His only brother is a prominent law
yer of Florence, whose family consists only
Of girls. AS Mgr. Sbarretti can leave no
heirs OF the body at his death. the family he-
comes extinct and the fund becomes tue
