THE POPE AND THE COME

The temperance of Halley's comet
has given the Associated Press an OPP
portunity of adding to its already large
stock of untruths. Monday a New
York dispatch announcing that the
flaming body had again been observed
for the first time in three quarters of
century added that it was the iden-
teal comet against which, once upon a
time, "the pope launched bun of ex-
communication.
The statement that any pope at any
time issued a bull communicating a
comet is not only lie. It is an alb
surdity of the first water. The man or
paper that repeats the ancient fake
makes himself or itself ridiculous be-
fore millions of sensible people. No
man, woman or child with an ounce of
sane brains will believe that any pope
ever did any such unutterably foolish
thing. 1t is absolutely unthinkable.
The fable is asserted of Callixtus Ill,
but investigation has demonstrated that
there is not a shred of truth in the
charge. Some years ago a Catholic
clergyman of this city heard lecturer
in the University of Chicago repeat the
hoary fake in talk before class. The
clergyman at once laid before the lee
turer positive proof that the statement
was lie and the professor frankly adj
mitted his blunder in repeating bold
forgery and promised never to make the
assertion again. He has not done so,
more especially since his own investiga-
tons have led him to regard it hoax.
Every scholar the world over knows the
assertion is false, yet some of our great
dailies apparently think it a sensible
thing to spread the ancient lie once
more.
The Associated Press evidently needs
somebody on its editorial staff who has
some knowledge of history and proper
appreciation of truth. It has wilfully,
if not malieiously. circulated an afro
cious lie and owes the Catholic church
an apology. If it has any sense of
honor it will apologize for its insult to
the Catholic church in the United
States and the world. In the plainest
terms possible we assert that it has
spread lie for the perusal Of its
readers,-The New World.
