CARDINALS LEcTURED
Taken to Task For Dlvulglng Result
of Meetlnus of PROPAGANDA.

Rome. Nov. 24.-When the cardinals
composing the Congregation Of the
Propaganda met they received sharp
reminder that they have at their head
In the person OF the project OF the
propaganda, Cardinal Gotti a church
man OF clearly defined and strong oDin
Ions. Those present at the meeting
were Cardinals Agliardi, VannutelIl
Steinhuber. Segna, Plerott, Cassetta'
Martinelli, Satolll. Matthew, Della
Volps and Gotti.
The cardinal project. in his opening
address, dwelt most earnestly on the
bad impression made on both the pom
tia and himself by the receipt Of re-
monstrances from apostolic delegations
and from cardinals abroad against the
publication OF the decisions Of the
propaganda before they had been ON
cially informed of these decisions and
ratified by the pontin. This matter
had gone so far, said Cardinal Gotti,
that the results OF the meetings OF the
propaganda we're known in the United
States even before the meetings or the
cardinals had been officially concluded.
Several cardinals greeted the speech
of the cardinal project by saying
Good good" while others considered
the speech inopportune. These latter
thought that no damage could be done
10 the interests OF the church by the
publications Of which the cardinal pre-
feet complained, as II was known that
the decisions OF the propaganda were
not valid until ratified by the pope.
while on the other hand It was pointed
out that the decisions OF the congre-
CATION were rarely rejected by the
pope
The congregation next discussed the
appointment OF several bishops and
archblshops, including a successor TO
the late Archbishop Kretzer, Of Milwau-
kee. Wis. It is reported that the con-
gregation decided 10 propose to the
pope for the latter position the name
OF Bishop Messner, OF Green Bay
but this report could not be verified.
