The Pope Lifts Ban.

Rome, June 2. Pope Benedict
has issued an encyclical letter an
nouncing that, while he main
sains the claims of the Holy See
70 temporal power. he rescinds
the order forbidding Catholic
rulers to visit the King of Italy
in Rome. 1t is understood the
first monarch to visit Rome un-
der the new conditions will be
King Alfonso of Spain.
Pope Benedict in this docu-
ment emphasizes the necessity Of
eliminating the germs of dis
cord which have prevented the
full establishment Of peace and
seriouly injured not only the tenn
poral interests of the nation, but
the life and spirit of Christianity
as taught by the Lords prayer
and the example of our Savior. /"
In conformity with this princi-
pie, the letter declares the Pope
forgives those who during the
war distorted his intentions and
furnished his work. He adds
that the chief object of the Cath
olic church is to help humanity
and appeals to bishops to teach
their flocks the necessity of for
giveness and charity.
His holiness urges the nations
to join together fraternally to
reduce if not eliminate the mill
tary expenditure which is weigh
ing heavily upon the finances of
the various states.
He sets forth that the danger
Of conhagation will thus be rem
dered more remote and that in
dependence and territorial integ-
rity within it's just frontiers will
be insured to every nation.
The pontiff declares that the
church will not fail to cooperate
with this association Of peoples
with an efficiency to which his
tory bears witness.
