After attending the memorial
mass with his robnue ON Wcdncs-

from the Thanksgiving mass this
year. But the spectacular per.
formancc on Thanksgiving Day was
attended by virtually the whole
head and front Of the executive
branch Of the American government
with the single exception Of the
president. The judiciary was also
conspicuous in that pompous gath

Concerning liberty Of conscience, the
pope, in these latter days, has fairly

century by the man who to every
loyal Roman Catholic speaks with
divine authority; bestowing his
apostolic benediction upon the pres

authority who has declared that the
Roman church has the power OF
putting to death even repentant

not merely to be excommunicated

Ambassadors to the Pope

Ambassadors 10 the Pope
The present European war has
emphasized to the world anew the
political status and pretcnsions Of
the pope. 1t is alleged in the Lind
bergh Resolution now pending in
congress that the pope holds him
self out to the world as a civil po-
tentate and in that capacity claims
and receives civil allegiance Of Ro-
man Catholics throughout the
world.
The writer announced in his book,
Constitution or Pope, published
more than a year ago that one con-
elusive evidence Of the status Of the
pope as a civil potentate is the fact
that many nations maintain am
bassadors at the vatican and receive
papal ambassadors, known as nun
clos, at their respective capitals.
While virtually all the Roman
Catholic powers thus sustain diplo-
matte relations with the pope as the
sovereign head Of the Roman Cath
olic church, the foremost Protestant
states had not in recent years kept
up such relations till after the out
break of the present war.
With the manifest purpose to ex-
tend his political and diplomatic
prestige and power by reason Of the
terrible cataclysm that threatened
the destruction Of European civili-
alton, Pope Benedict intimated in
the fall of 1914 that an ambassador
nom the Russian empire would be
relcome at the papal court. The
c7ar promptly dispatched thither as
tiE ambassador Baron Nelidow, who
rresented his credentials and was
cordislly received by the pope. Ar
rAngements were also made where
BY the British empire accredited
Sir Henry Howard, former minister
to The Hague aud Luxemburg, as
ambassador to the Holy See, and
the pope warmly approved the Sc
lection.
As a further offset TO the tremen-
dous influence Of the Austro-Hun-
garian empire at the vatican, an
other diplomatic envoy has quite re-
