POPE Plus TALKED
OF FRENCH C0NC0RDAT.

Said the Church Had Never In
frfnged an Agreement.
Rome, Nov. 14.-The second consis-
tory of the Pontifcate of Pope Plus x,
at which the poetulation of the Pallium
for three American archbishops occur.
red and ten American bishops were
proclaimed, took place this morning.
The ceremony was Swallowed by the
death in the apostolic palace of Cardi-
nal Mocenni, while the function was in
progress.
In the secret consistory the Pope de-
livered an allocution recalling the ORR
gin OF the concordat, and the reasons
which induced Pope Plus VII to con-
clude Ii with Napoleon. especially re-
ferring to the provisions made for the
appointment of bishops, the budget of
the ministry of public worship which
was regulated by what was practically
a contract and finally the free exercise
of Catholic worship. He added that
the socalled organic articles" added
in 1902 by Napoleon, had never been
recognized by the Holy See. either as
law or as being part of the concordat.
Therefore, the Pontiff deplored the fact
lildl TIC UicGCilA VI AnC
French republic had. under various
pretexts, charged the Holy See with
not having observed the concordat,
adding that the church had never in
the case of any country, infringed an
engagement made.
The. Pope concluded with saying that
the French government had broken
fundamental conditions Of the concor-
dat, proceeding which was not only
in violation of the concordat, but which
was also opposed to divine and natural
law. The Pope complained Of the pos
sibIlity, due TO the existing state of af-
fairs, of appointing bishops to the va
cant sees In France, but expressed the
hope that an understanding would be
reached.
The majority OF the cardinals pres
emit considered the allusion rather mild
and remarked that the Pope omitted
the part regarding which ne previously
had consulted several OF the cardinals,
In which he was said TO have appealed
to the people OF France and TO have
urged them 20 use their rights as citi-
zens 10 prevent the government from
prosecuting their religion.
