ROME. April 15.-(Speclal to The Bee)-
The Vatican authorities regard the speech
Of Chancellor Hollweg on the anti-modern
list oath in the German Reichstag as
threat or a warning to the Holy See The
chancellor appears to aim at having the
pope submit to him DEGREES and letters adj
dressed to the Catholic world for his veto
before they can be published to the Cath
olcs of Germany. There is, the pope re-
Gently said, a temptation in monarchies to
turn their royal scepter into an ecclesias-
teal crozier and to rule the souls well
as the bodies of their subjects" And this
has been an idea which prevailed for long
time amongst the German princes.
What renders the speech menacing is that
the emperor himself is a party to It. The
chancellor refers, in passing, to the pom
tifical letter to the ST. CHARLES Borromeo
centenary, and the offense that Germany
took out of the papal references to the re-
reformation times.
The chancellor is said 10 be alarmed at
the prospect OF a disturbance of the relig
ious peace which now prevails in Germany,
and which, he says, may be broken by the
antl-modernist oath. He declares that there
is nothing in the oath that is out Of har-
Protestant church and state have not and
cannot have anything to do with the spir
itual and religious life Of Catholics.
