Rome correspondent says.
cardinal Saiolli has just presented 10
ihe pope his IMPORT ON the religious ques-
uons in The United States Althourh this
documcnt Is destined not TO he published,
10 is nevertheless perfectly well known
what It contains and / am thus In posi-
uon 20 give You interesting information
with respect to It, Cardinal satolli makes
vefiiahle reQuisition against Bishop
koano and the Catholic University of the
United States at Washington. lie accuses
Bishop kcane of having in several public
speeches uttered opinions which bordercd
on heresy, and says that, in accord with
Archbishop Ireland, heendeavored to uccli
matlze a neo-Catholicism (new Catholic
ism) on American soil Cardinal Satoln de
clares that the university at Washington
had become the heart of these new ideas
where the most bold and risky theories
We're put forward Fortunately. he says,
the removal of Bishop Kcane has cut short
the evil at its root, but the bishop left be-
hind dangerous disciples in the persons OF
numerous professors Of this university
and the cardinal advises the pope TO de-
prive them in their turn of their offices.
Ireland the Apostle OF Heresy."
But the cardinal shows himself much
more severe i'm his arraignment of Arch
bishop Ireland.
He declares that this prelate is the crea-
tor of fneo-Catholicism i'm the United States
and he formally accuses him of being the
apostle of hcresy."
This report has produced a very marked
impression at the Vatican, where every one
foresees that the pope win adopt the great
or portion of the cardinals suggestions
He viii, it seems certain, deprive the
" keanism' professors of their offices and
win call Archbishop Ireland to Rome 20
there offer an explanation.
This blow which has just been struck nc
Bishop Keane and Archbishop Ireland has
moreover more general effect
It is a complete and sudden change in
the attitude of the holy see
AT first Leo XIII showed marked pref
erence for Archbishop ireland, which did
not fail to seem to many TO ho extmordi-
nary in view of the boldness of the atti-
tude and doctrine of the archbishop of st.
Paul
The latter ostensibly enjoyed the favor
of the Vatican, and Rome protected him
against the attacks and suspicious of
which he was the object
When he came here a few years ago, he
was accorded triumphal reception. Now
the reaction is complete
Leo XIII openly and enorgetically dis
ayows the idea of Archbishop Ireland and
his group.
Repudiated by the Vatican.
Tho neo-C Catholicism which these people
are attempting TO plant in the United
states is completely discounted.
The Vatican has repudiated 1t, while its
rival and antagonistic group, led by Mgr
Corrigan, has roconqueTod the favor of the
holy see
ID IS needless to call attention to how
significant and interesting is this new evo-
luton of Leo XIII from the point of view
of the general dostinios of contemporary
Catholicism
10 is the old Roman conservatism which
has finished by rcgaining the upper hand.
Moreover, it s. not only in the United
Statcs but also I'm 0her countries and
other fields that the policy of Leo mani
tests "a tendency to sudden change
I'm France there IS already stop, If not
an actual backward movement
Tn another Held. that of the social quos
tion the Vatican is equally undergoing a
change of front
Tho holy see, which formerly seemed to
cover with its protection the party of dem
ocratic Christians, is today frightened
with their excess and disavows them, par
ticnlarly in Belgium
The diplomacy of Leo XIII led for a
moment astray by imprudent advisers, Is
finding again its hahitual qualities Of tact
circumspcctiOn and sagacity.
Leo takes again in his own hands the
rcins which he was wrong TO abandon to
badly advised and unskillful Instruments
