Papal Organ Exposes Fake News
The "Osseryatore Romano" has once
more drawn attention to the Vatican
Notes" published in secular papers.
The special allusion this time is to
the Roman morning paper, the ITEM
pc" which has the effrontery even to
suggest that it has Vatican inspiration
for such notes, and recently stated,
for instance, that the sending of the
Nuncio to England was being consid-
cred seriously. AS a matter of fact
there is no such idea either on one
side or the other; but this is only one
of the "Tempos" recent vagaries.
international Catholic Society.-Mr.
John MKean, ex-M. P, delivered an
interesting lecture at a meeting of
the Catholic League of South London,
on the need for an international Cath
Ollie organization. He gave reasons
for it, amongst them being the neces-
sity of strengthening the Church, in
view of the attacks upon it in France,
and the defense of the Pope against
such treatment as was melted out to
him by the Allies in connection with
his peace notes and under clause fiji
teen of the pact of London. Mgr
Brown and the other speakers eX-
pressed approval of the idea outlined
by Mr. M'Kean.
Venice Heard choir.-Mr. Slevin,
Mgr. Casimiri and the singers from
the Papal choirs left Rome August u
for Venice to embark thence on the
steamship Belvedere for New York.
The singers sang in the famous
Church of st. Mark, Venice, on the
Feast of the Assumption, when Car
dinal La Fontaine, Patriarch of Ven
ice, officiated at Pontifcal High Mass.
They were the Cardinals guests after
wards, and, in return, entertained him
on board their ship next day, sailing
that evening for the United States.
The Roman Queston.-It is said
that Signor Nitti, the new Italian pre-
mier is the person who proposes to
find modus vivendi in regard to
the Roman question. He is stated to
have made proposal, which is al
ready engaging his attention, which
suggests that the Holy Father should
resign voluntarily his claim to the do
minions of the Church in exchange
for treaty as between two sovereign
powers, which will recognize the
Apostolic palaces as the territory of
a sovereign state. Sonnino, it is said
was asked to consider such a proposal
but was too much of the old anti
clerical pattern to do SO.
st. Vincent de Paui.-Last month
the body of st. Vincent de Paul was
replaced in the Church of the Vincen.
tian Fathers, IS Rue de Sevrs, Paris,
whence it had been taken at the be.
ginning of the war. For two days the
venerable remains lay on the high
altar, exposed to the veneration of
the faithful. From all over the
French capital the people flocked in
tens of thousands to pay homage to
the memory of him who had devoted
his life to the poor of the city. This
is the fourth time that the remains
of st. Vincent de Paul have had to
be removed from their shrine, viz, in
1892 on the occasion of the French
Revolution, in 1880 when another rev.
olution hurled Charles X from the
throne and made Louis Philippe king
of the French, and in 1870 at the out.
break of the Franco-Prussian War.
The Sacred Heart.-The Dutch cen.
ter Of propaganda for the enthrone
ment of the Sacred Heart has received
a letter from Cardinal van Rossum
regarding certain doubts, which had
arisen on the manner of conservation
or enforcement. His Eminence says
that in an audience with the Pope he
told the Holy Father that, in conse.
quence of the statements of certain
persons, some anxiety existed as to
whether His Holiness desired the sim
pie conservation of families to the
Sacred Heart rather than the en-
thronement, and that, to avoid discus,
sion, clear declaration of his august
wishes would be acceptable. His Holt
ness replied that it was absolutely
outside his intention to prohibit, or
esteem less appropriate, the title of
reinforcement" although he did not
attach great Importance to the word.
What he considered, above all, neces-
sary was that the ceremony should
not be a passing conservation of the
family to the Sacred Heart, a little
fete that tomorrow will be forgotten,
but that in reality Our Lord should
be placed on a throne in the family
that He truly remain their King, and
that they meet every day around that
throne to offer their homage of ad-
miration and love.
