St Paul. Mimi, Dec. I'm the course Of

Italian Government in Rome bcarablc 20
him.
THE reply which | myself give fellow
Catholics of America - an emphatic mega
tive. Leo continuously protests against the
act Of sp"ilatipn which wrcsted from him
tn" political sovereignty of Rome and his
civil Independence against tho presence Of
the Italian Government which perpetuatcs
that act "f spnliati"n and calls in most
positive terms for the restitution of his

why these protests. those demands Of
Leo? shall tell YOU his own mind US :

Of all dutiful Catholics. The church acts
and speaks in h"r corporate capacity

her chief duties and her chief rights.
Now. if the head nf the church is The
civil subject "f an authority outside him
self, he is not free as he would he beyond
all peradventure, to exercise his supreme
maSisterinC rs his own sense Of duty die
tates. and to govern the universal rhurc;,
as he believes it should he governed.
LEO represents conscience as against
physical force. \ few years ago, however,
the Government OF Italy rushed into Rome
and altered the provdential disposition cf
centuries. Not only was there in tha breach
of Poria Pia, the crime of ssizing city be-
longing To ii sovereign. willing to belong 10
that sovereign. there was crime against
the Catholic conscience. against Catholic
Christendom tho world over
Since then. despite the presence of the
King of Italy. of his policemen and of his,
soldiers. Leo remains independent. indeperd-
ent by his protest repeated again and again.
He may be the captive. he is not the slave
or the subject.
Nevertheless. it is said. and with truth.
that not Tor centuries did the papacy enjoy
the great moral prestige tina: il has to-day
therefore, it needs no temporal sovereignty.
