CARDINAL s
STATEMENT 7
Roosevelt Declined a
Common Courtesy
to the Pope

Cincinnati. April 6.-In cable
gram to the Cincinnati Tlmes-Star to-
day. Cardinal Merry Del Val. through
Thomas Kennedy, rector OF the Amer
lean college In Rome. gives the fol
lowing version of the Roosevelt-Vati-
can incident
When all * said and done. it was
question of common courtesy. The
Holy Sec did not Impose on Mr. Roosc
volt, as has been wrongly asserted.
the condition of not approaching Meth
odlsts or other uon-c1-uuolic religious
bodies in Rome. There arc several
non-Cathlollc ceuters In the city
which now behave In a bitterly hos
tile and offensive manner toward the
Pope and toward everything that His
Holiness and all Catholics hold most
dear.
The Methodist center In Via XN
Settembrc Systematically joins hands
with the worst and anti-clerical AMI
anti-Papal elements in Rome, and they
do so notoriously and In the most ag-
gressiye and insulting manner. Mr..
Roosevelt himself has had mild and
limited sample of their attitude IN
the declaration just published by
them and which he has felt bound TO
disavow.
The Holy See. after the unfortun-
ate affair. had every reason TO fear
that Mr. Roosevelt, in perfect good
faith and unwillingly, might be led
into showing open sympathy and
friendship for this hostile center of
aggression against the Catholic
church in the heart OF the Catholic
world. Consequently when Mr. Roose-
welt applied indirectly and confidcn-
TALLY for an audience with His Holi
ness. the Pope. the wish was cour-
ieously expressed that he would
avoid being dragged into the objec-
ticDablc position of appearing public
ly to support the offensive campaign
against the Pope
Mr. Roosevelt replied, refusing all
conditions or agreements and the
house allowed the possibility OF his
accomplishing what would be offensive
10 His Holiness.
This was amply confirmed by his
own secretary. Mr. O'LOughlin. who.
wnen asked whether on any formal
plan or expressed condition. Mr.
Roosevelt would. as matter OF fact
not so to the Methodist center In Via
HH Settembre admitted he could give
no assurance as Mr. Roosevelt In
his opinion was just the man to do
II.
In view of this attitude the audi.
encc became impossible.
ut is simply a question of common
courtesy and surely common courtesy
