who has just ceme from Rome. said TO
your correspondent to-day:
THE Catholic Church in America can
have anything it pleases from the Vatican
at present. The Pope did not mean the
condemning of the so-called Americanism
as a reprimand TO American Catholics. 1t
was a parernal warning. Having uttered
his warning, he now wishes to show his
friendly feeling for the United States. Nor
does the Holy Father wish to discuss the
subject of AmericaEism- He prefers to con-
slider the chapter as closed The Ameri-
canism condemned by the Pope Is of
French origin. Mgr. LorenzelE. the apos-
tolic nuncio here tells me ii is the custom
of Rome to send 4 warning where danger
Gus noise comes from. Now 1t Is charged
that the French-born Americanism IS con-
tinued in the Life Of Father Hecker, writ
ten by that distinguished Paulist. the Rev.
erend Walter Elliott of New York. Hence
the Holy See addressed a warning TO the
Catholics in the United States rather than
to the Catholics in Franco.
Tho nuncio here has sent long message
to Rome, praisng Archbishop Ireiands

1.-The Archbishop Of st. Paul will be well
received in Rome. and the Holy Father
does not wish the American people or the
American bishops to feel hurt because he
thought fit to raise Il warning voice.

who is now in the United States collecting

says that if the propaganda now controlled

will appoint him.
There Is no evidence of old age in the
language of the Holy Father. Ills words
show strong mental activity. He speaks
from deep conviction. There was remark
able intensity In his look. and when he
