ANSWER TO THE POPE
BY MAYOR OF ROME
Respects Pontiff as a Right
eous Man, But Wants
No Intermediary.

ROME, September 24.-Mayor Nathan,
whose recent speech, in which he criticised
the papacy, called forth rebuke from
the Pope today issued reply to his holi-
ness.
The mayor says that the Pope, In send
ing from the Vatican thunders against
the one who sits in the capital, makes
more evident than did the mayors speech
the contrast between the Rome of the
past and the Rome of the present. Mr..
Nathan adds:
II am not the author or inventor of the
plan to Danish from the schools and SEM
inaries the whole daily press, nor have
imagined the solemn concentrations by
Christian democracy, by the modernists,
by the Sillonists and by all those anxious
ly seeking faith which reconciles the
intellect and the heart. tradition and
evolution, science and religion.
Has Regard for Pontif.
IT have not nodded together the dogma
of the ritual and religion. thus denying
the consolation of the faith to those who
could not blindly submit to the change
able instructions and will OF men; nor
have 1 failed to respect other peoples be-
liefs or been lacking in my regard for
the pontiff as a man called to the high
est Office, who within the limits OF his
heart and intellect sacrifices his whole
being for love and goodness, according
to the dictates of his conscience"
The mayor continues saying that as
the supreme pontiff from the height of
his chair in st. Peters has the duty to
tell the truth as 1t appears to him so
the mayor, the same as before the
breach which ended the temporary power
of the church, has an equal duty to his
fellow citizens to delineate the new po-
litical anu civil area.
Light of New Italy.
The offense taken by the Pope did not
come from his words. says the mayor,
but from the fact that advancing fatally
with sure steps even as the dawning day
the new Italy is lighting the road for
anxious travellers. The influences guild
ing the people are ruled by laws that
govern the universe. They are above the
pontiff and the mayor. Mr.. Nathan con-
cludes:
These forces move, evolve and broaden.
Men raise their eyes seeking a faith
illumined by knowledge. If l have Of
Tended the law I will answer before the
courts. II have offended the duty of
my Office the citizens must judge me.
If have offended religion my tranquil
without any intermediary,
will answer before God"
