DID EDWARD DIE A CATHOLIC?
Court Circles Say He Favored That
Faith and Wore a Scapular.

Protestant England is greatly agitated
by strange and persistent reports credlL-
ing King Edward not only with having
had leanings toward Catholicism, but
with actually having died in that faith.
Various circumstances give color to the
reports and evidence the other way Is
largely presumptive up to this time.
There is no doubt that he steadfastly
declined in his last illness to see the
Archbishop of Canterbury. That prelate
meets this comment with the retort that
he never asked to see the king. He I'M
ouestionably tells the literal truth. but
the fact remains that each time the
Archbishop called at the palace word was
carried to the King, but he took no no.
tice of it.
VOW. the Tablet. q highly conservative
and cautious organ of English Catholic
ism, without admitting or denying its ac-
curacy, refers to another report that a
well-known clergyman was seen emery
ing from Buckingham Palace the day
the King died and that he was followed
to the Jesuit presbytery in Farg street.
That so eminently discreet paper as
the Tablet should thus give countenance
to a story that Jesuit Father Bernard
Vaughan probably was with King Ed
ward in his dying hours, while the King
did not see the Archbishop of Canterbury
strikes the public as remarkable cir
cumstance, even though the King was
known to have a strong personal liking
for Father Vaughan.
The publication is notable because con-
tinued currency of this report is calcu-
lated to give more real force to the eX-
treme Protestant objection to amending
the royal declaration, as desired by the
Tablet and as suggested by King George,
than are any historical recitals about the
secret communion of the house Of Stuart
with Rome, while processing Protestant
ism. i
Other circumstances contribute to In
vest with plausibility the suggestion that
King Edward had Catholic leanings. The
last place he visited before leaving Biar-
ritz for England was the marvellous
grotto at Lourdes. He passed the night
at Pau the motor trip from Biarritz and
back being too long for a single days ex.
cursion in his then weakened state OF
health.
He motored from Pau to Lourdes
where he was received by the Bishop and
Catholic clergy in charge of the grotto
The local papers reported that the clergy
were much impressed by the reverent at
titude of England's Protestant Sovereign
Another incident that has now come to
light helps the reports as to the Kings
Catholic faith. 1t is said, on what seems
to be excellent authority, that on the
Thursday preceding his death the King
was visited by throat specialist. who
in order to facilitate his examination,
asked him to roosen his collar SO as to
leave the breast free.

! The King reluctantly permitted his
chest to be barred for thatFpurpose. As
he did SO the doctor and attendants saw
around his neck a scapnlare All being
Protestants, they dl,. not recognize it,
but in speaking of it to- others they
learned that it was a special scapnlaE
worn by devout Catholics to ward off
sudden deaths. 1t had been sent to the
King by a nun and had been worn by
him for a, considerable time.
In court circles, where these matters
have been known and discussed since the
Kings death, it is admitted that he had
Catholic leanings, but it is not believed
that he was received into that church,
