The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1910-09-03
NEW CARDINALS SOON

Private advices have been received
IN this country and confirmed by the
po,ne correspondents of the higher
lass Of Catholic journals to the effect
mar Pope Plus X has intimated that
me long heralded consistory will be
held next November. II is of particu-
Lar interest to this country and Can
ade. FOR although it may happen that
mn American prelate will be raised TO
tHe senate Of the church, it seems a.
certainty that the apostolic delegate
II washington, Mgr. Falconio. will be
among the new cardinals In fact this
ic openly stated by we'll informed cor
respondents of Catholic papers in Eng
land and America. Mgr. AgIus, now
i- The Philippines, is TO succeed him at
washington. The monsignor. who is
O learned member of the Benedictine
order. has almost finished the labor
,aus work undertaken five years ago.
The archbishop OF Montreal, Mgr.
Bruchesi. is likely to be named, as that
country has had no representative in
The College Of Cardinals since the de-
mise of Cardinal Taschereau.
some intimate that the papal legate.
Cardinal Vannutelli, may be the bearer
of q private communication on this
subject to Mgr. Bruchesi. and that it
win be made known at the close of the
congress. At all events the pope has
been at pains recently TO show his
fanduess for the archbishop of Mon
treaI At the latter's request he made
N LemoHne Demartigny, a Canadian,
a uayal chamberlain and ordered him
10 be attached to the escort of the
cardinal legate. NJ Demartigny and
Thomas Hughes Kelly of this city Will
BE- the lay members of the papal lega-
lion. There is not the least hint of an
other American being in the list OF
coming cardinals. This is variously
computed at 10 and II. It is taken for
granted that the nuncio at Vienna,
Mgr Belmonte and the patriarch Of
Lisbon, Mgr. Mendez Bello, will be
gmoung the fortunate ones.
Tn the case of Mgr. Belmonte the
pope, it is understood. is quite willing
10 give him the hat, but the Emperor
Francis Joseph seems to be in the way. |
Austria still holds a tight rein on her |
ancient prerogative of suggesting this |
one or that one for special honors. |
Rome usually looks favorably upon |
these requests, though the Sacred Col |
lege did object when that country ven !
tured to use the power of veto at the
conclave which elected Plus X The |
nuncio at Vienna offended the prime
minister. Count Aehrenthal by his
condemnation of Prof. Wharmund, /
and since that incident Austria has
shown on disposition to take the initia-
tive in the matter of getting him the
coveted honor. Mgr. Lugari, assessor /
Of the holy office, and Mgr. Della /
Chiesa, archbishop of Bologna, are
among those mentioned by persons
close to the Vatican. Again too, the /
name of the archbishop of Westmins-
ter is brought forward, Mgr. Bourne /
England has been patiently waiting for
some recognition.
No fewer than 10 cardinals have
died since the last consistory, at which
several We're named. At present the
Sacred College consists Of 90 princes
of the church; % of them reside in
