The Pope in his allocution, said sad and
dangerous events had come TO pass and
were becoming more serious and spreading
from part of Europe to another. Sew
eral states widely separated, but united by
an Identical desire, had entered into open
war against religion. The campaign was
directed against the religious congrega-
tions in order to destroy them gradually.
Neither common law, nor equity. nor the
deserts of the congregations have prevailed
to prevent their destruction. The desire
was also manifested to prevent the youth
of whom many pupils had become illus
trious. The Pont!ff then spoke OF the po-
sition of the Pope, which, he said, was
most shameful and disagreeable. Abiding
to the divorce bill drawn I'D by a Socialist
deputy of the Italian chamber, the Pope
said: ITO the ancient insults leveled at
the church it is desired to add another.
profaning the sanctity of Christian mar
riage and destroying the basis of domestic
society" The Pope deplored the serious
ness of the present times and foresaw still
graver outlook in the future. He urged
society to have recourse TO the light of
God and concluded by announcing the ap-
pointment of the new cardinals, as already
cabled, of whom Mgr. Della Voice and
Mgr. Sanminiatelli are reserved in petto.
