Leo XIII was the 25sth occupant of

Of Count Luigi Pecci and Countess Pros
peri. He was born on March 2, 1910. in
the old family palace at CarpinetO. near
sigma, in Italy. He was baptized Vim
cenzo Joachim, but he dropped the first
name at about the time he entered man
hood, and he was thereafter known as
Joachim Pecci. From his birth he lived
81 a religious atmosphere. His mother,
one of the most devout and cultured
women Of her day, was the sole early
guide OF the almost precocious talents
OF the knowledge thirsty child. At the
age of eight he was much in the care OF
the Jesuit Fathers at Viterbo. 1t was

The church suffered severely from hos

The Jesuits were expelled from their
houses and colleges and members OF other
Catholic religious orders were compelled
10 dispense and break up their academies
and schools The cabinet formed by Gam
beta was decidedly hostile to the church,
the attempt to force priests TO serve as
privates in the army being an extreme
demonstration of this feeling; but the
ministry proved short lived. The gov

matte hostility. and punished the clergy
for protesting against its ant-relgious
measures. In 1853 the Pope addressed

But while strictly maintaining his po-

Toward the close Of 1883 his attitude
changed After a sudden and severe
Illness he adopted a policy OF unreserved
hostility toward the national govern
ment, and the interchange OF non-ofh-
cial couftesies between the Vatican and
the Quirinal came to an end. 1t was
commonly rumored in the capitals OF
Europe that the Pope's illness was caus-
ed BY an attempt by the intransigeant
party at the Vatican to kill him by pol
son. but the only evidence OF II that
ever transpired was the change or pol

code which made 81 a criminal onense

not only deprived the Vatican OF the
direct influence OF all the parish and d.

there we're the gravest difficulties be-
tween the government and the Catholic
clergy. and the final pacihcation OF
these differences was one OF the most
signal achievements Of Pope LeO's
reign. The trouble was due originally
TO the violation by the clergy Of the
Prusslan May laws. and the Vatican
asked that these laws and the charter
Of Prussia might be changed. a highly
interesting correspondence between the
Pope and Emperor William grew cut Of
the matter. In the summer OF 1873 the
crown prince wrote TO the Pope letter
countersigned by Bismarck in which the
position Of the Emperor was thus plainly
defined.
Il regret to see that you deem 1t i'm
possible to fulfill the hope uttered in
my fathers communication OF March

NEW RELATIONSHIP DUE TO
NON-TEMP0RAL POSITION
Became an Arbitrator Between Nations
and Their Rulers.

II was not until 1852 that the Vatican
began not only TO regain the recognition
OF the great powers which IL lost by
the fall OF Rome in 1870. but TO acquire
a new influence among the nations BY
reason OF its potent spiritual SOW
ereignty over so large a proportion OF
the subjects OF all political rulers The
rapid spread IN Europe. especially Of the
most radical and disorganiziug theories
made it particularly advantageous for
the principal powers TO secure hac-
monious relations with the spiritual
head OF a church essentially cCnserya-
tive in It's influence. Even England on
the occasion Of the Queens jubilee in
1857. received the first Papal envoy who
had entered the English court since the
Reformation
One OF the most important diplomatic
incidents of LeO's reign was the adjust
ment by the Pope as mediator OF the
dispute between Germany and Spain
over the sovereignty OF the Caroline
Islands The Pope willingly accepted
the once because he always considered
IL his duty to act as arbitrator between
princes and between rulers and their
people II may be added that his own
unique position of ruler without ter
restrial dominion made Il fitting that
such trusts should be relegated to him.
One OF the crowning events of Leo
KITS POntihcatiOn was the celebration
OF the golden jubilee. or the nfueth an
HiveUsary Of his ordination to the
priesthood. Rome was crowded with
pilgrims early In 1883, and greater
homage was done the occupant of the
throne of St Peter than any national
sovereign could boast. The Vatican
could hardly hold the princely gifts sent
from all parts of the world. Every
ruler OF Europe. save King Humbert
of Italy. was thus represented. Prest-
dent Cleveland sent through Cardinal
Gibbons an appropriately bound COPY or

HELD STURDlLY TO CLAIM
ON TEMPORAL DOMINION
Refused to Retreat and Spurned Allow
ance From Italy.

Inc political and ecclesiastical history
OF the administration Of Leo XIII is a
record Of pacihcation and growth. The
loss Of temporal power has in some de-
gree raised the man of the Vatican into
the lofty position OF arbiteT OF many OF
the worlds quarreis While Leo XIII
mas not yielded jot or little of the claim
OF the church to the sovereignty OF
Rome, yet the government of Italy has
Deen SO nrmly established in the Eternal
CITY that the Pope for the time being
mas not oeen regarded by the nations as
an active factor in European politics
but INC effect Of this has been greatly
TO enhance his influence among the
worlds rulers.
On Easter Sunday, 1878 Leo issued bis
nrsI encyclical, foreshadowing his pol
icy. His attitude toward the existing
authority IN Italy as then assumed was
maintained to the end He said:
First of all. in every wa we can we
must assert the rights and the liberty of
THIS Holy See. We can never cease TO
urge the obedience due TO our author
ny, that the hindrances may be taken
away that stop the full freedom of our
ministry and power. and that we may
De restored TO the estate in which the
judgment Of divine wisdom established
the preiates OF Rome. We are moved to
the demand OF this restitution by no
craltiness OF ambition. by no greed of
power II Is because OF the duty we have
to accomplish. IL Is because we are
bound TO do il by the sacred oath we
have taken And. moreover. not only
because this temporal sovereignty is
necessary to guarding and keeping the
entire freedom OF the spiritual power,
but because Il is most surely provided
that when the temporal power OF the
Apostolic See IS In question it regards
also intimately public welfare and the
peace of the whole human family"
Like his predecessor. Leo XIII refused
TO accept the annual donation of 1925,
coo lire from the Italian government.
and during the 1rst years OF mis- admin
istrRtiOn every insult TO the Catholic
religion was encouraged and abetted IN
Rome.

FOR SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS
Believed and Taught That Much
knowledge Led to God.

Valiant and firm in his support of both
the temporal ard spiritual church. the
Archbishop was one or the most prom
inent figures in the troublous times in
which his lot was cast He gained world
wide distinction by the writing of two
powerful letters Of protest and reproof
TO King Victor Emmanuel. In one he
protested against the forcing Of the law
OF civil marriage upon Umbria after the
Italian state had taken possession. In
the other he denounced the expulsion
and spoliation OF the Camaldolese friars
and other religious orders.
In another pastoral the Archbishop
first put himself officially on record in a
1aost liberal attitude toward scientific
investigation and progress. Seine of his
words we're:
If the universe is indeed a book on
every page Of which are inscribed the
name and wisdom OF God. 1t is certain
that he will be most filled with the love
OF God, will come most near to God
who has studied this book most deeply
and intently Why should the church be
jealous of the wonderful progress Of our
age in observation and discovery? Ba-
con. so eminent in science. has said: a
little knowledge leads away from God,
but much knowledge leads back to God.
This golden saying is always true: and IL
the church fears the ruin that may be
wrought by the vain ones who think they
understand because they nave smat-
tering. she has entire trust in those who
apply seriously and profoundly to the
study OF nature, for she knows that at
the end OF their search they will find
God, who In all His works reveals Him
self with His attributes OF power, wis
dom, and goodness

xignor Pecci was neld by Leo XII. Plus

less degree by Plus TX. In 1853 the
Archbishop was created Cardinal. but ne
continued for twenty-four more years
his pastoral charge in Perugia. He lived
there, as had always been his custom,
the simple life OF friar. Constant work
and his devotions occupied almost his
entire time. and his mental and bodily
vigor were maintained by a frugality
which to most men would be severe
hardship. In the very last months OF
the incumbency Of Plus TX, then greatly
enfeebled by age, the Cardinal was
called 10 Rome TO assume the important
post OF Cardinal Camerlengo TO the
Pope.
This involved the presidency OF the
Apostolic Chamber and the chief chars q

ton, to do anything not incompatible
with the discipline of the church The
final yielding Of the essential point of
contest was made by Emperor William
IN personal letter to Leo, in which he
said If l could feel assured that the
desire for an understanding IS reel
procal, might lend my hand to the
submission for a fresh examination by
the Landtag Of my monarchy of those
laws which were useful in the period of
the struggle for the defense of the con-
tested rights Of the State, without their
being necessary IN a permanent manner
for pacific relations q"
Leo replied that the Church desired
that her bishops should have the power
to train and instruct her ministers vigi-
iantly and according to the spirit OF
the Church, and a reasonable freedom
in the exercise of ecclesiastical power.
This was followed by the passage of a
Catholic relief act. which uiitigated the
severity % the Falk laws, and the cele-
bration Of mass By a priest not author
lied by government was no longer crimi-
raj. The condition Of the Church in
Germany at this time was one of great
distress, 5000 priests being In exile.
There was a gradual relaxation OF the
repressiVe measures of the government.
and in 1856 the negotiations eliminated

UNWELCOME RECOGNITION
FOR FRENCH REPUBLIC
Leo Persisted in Views Opposed BY
Many Catholics in France.

Another notable incident OF Leo's
recent years was one which had
significance limited considerably
10 the one country affected by IL,
although as an Indication OF the Pope's
own character it was not without its
meaning. The Catholic Church in France
had long been identified by many persons
with the mOnaTchical form Of govern
meut Should the Vatican hold this view
OF the union between church and state
ia that country or should Il recognize the
French republic, was the question which
had received no answer until Pope Leo
with the ane reason and correctness that
were characteristic Of his actions. real
tied that the condition Of France de-
handed that the question receive an an
sNcr
So in February. 1892, the Pope issued
to the French people the encyclical in
which the existence OF the republic was
recognized. Further than that. he al
lowed himself to be interviewed b. a re-
porter OF a Paris newspaper and explain
cd 10 him the interest and affection which
had led him 10 write the encyclical and
TO do What lay in his power to secure the
happiness Of the French By leading 10
the ultimate union OF all the parties in
the state on constitutional grounds. In
spite OF the fact that the entire French
nation was not in accord with the views
he expressed. the Pope repeated them on
several occasions with notable effect
after the republic had survived the dis
aster and scandal Of the Panama Canal
revelations.
