OPPOSES MIXED MARRIAGES
Pope Plus Takes Strong Stand Con.
cerning Royal Wedding.
May Exact Rigid Contract from
George of Greece Ere Permitting
NuPtiaIs with Maria BOnaparte.

Rome. oct. 26.-Another complicated
matrimonial affair IS occupying the at
tent!on OF the papel court It concerns
Prince George Of Greece's marriage with
the Princess Maria Bonaparte. The for
mer belongs to the orthodox church and
the latter TO the Roman communion.
Plus Y has taken a strong line against
the policy Of compromises in the matter
Of divorces. which. under the less III
sounding name Of aunulment were fairly
easily obtainable from the Roman curia
during previous ponufcates. and he has
shown redoubled severity toward the
question of mixed marriages. So serious
. ly is this the case that by a recent papal
/ decree various unions hitherto tolerated
under certain conditions VIII. when con-
( tracted after next Esstertide, be regarded
by the Roman Church as null and void.
The TWO biggest mixed marriage scan
daIs Of recent years were those Of Prince
Waldemar Of Denmark and Prince Fer
dinaHd Of Bulgaria, both Of whom have
notoriously violated the pledges given TO
the holy see. particularly as regards the
upor,nging OF their offspring inithe Cath
Ole faith. These and similar reasons are
urging his holiness te attempt To exact
a formal written and sworn pledge en-
forced by legal guarantees from the
Greek prince as condition OF the papal
consent TO his marriage with the Prin-
cess Maria Bonaparte.
