Ollie papers here in Italy it should not
be forgotten that their ''loathsome
contemporaries" or their esteemed
contemporaries" as the case may be,
the anti-Clerical press Of Italy is
equally bitter. This fact has been re-
called by the recent explosion of the
bomb and the attempt to blow up St.
Peters, the greatest church in the
world, an event which sent sympa-
thetic thrill throughout Christendom
And yet it is recalled that for years
the anti-Catholic press has been doing
its level best to bring about just such
an event. The possibilities of just
such an outrageous wreck being COM
mitted in this great shrine of Chris
tendon mas been before the minds of
the people of Rome for many years
past. A monarchical Journal discuss
ing the possibility of a case arising
in Europe in which either by force
of arms or by force of Diplomacy Italy
should be obliged to remove from
Rome declared that in s1ch case the
Italians would blow I'D Saint Peters.
The malignant swaggery Of the
threat was so startling that people
would not believe it possible that
anything of the sort would occur yet
in the light of recent events it must
be admitted that the attempt really
was made.
