GROWING POWER OF THE PAPACY
-ARTlClE IN "CURRENT OPlN-
ION" SAYS PAPACY is MOST
POWERFUL FORCE IN WORLD
ALL NATIONS HASTEN TO RO-
MAN PONTlFF.

In the present issue Of Current Opin-
ion is an interesting article on the
growing power of the Papacy and the
achievements of Pope Benedict XIV.
The writer produces evidence that the
Vatican is the only world power that
has come out of the war stronger and
more influential than when the con-
fiict started The article, entitled
"Triumphs of the Diplomacy Of Bene-
dict XV,' is as follows:
Trumphs of Papacy.
Displays of feeling by radicals and
Socialists attend the passage through
the Chamber Of Deputies at Paris of
the measure for the restoration of
diplomatic relations between the
French Republic and the Holy See.
The exchange of fluctuations between
Pope Benedict and President Des-
chanel recently was very formal, but
it seemed to the Temps a preliminary
to those closer relations that impend
1t is the general sense of the Euro
pean press that the return of the ED
est daughter of the Church to the
maternal bosom, although not com
plete-fOr a theoretical separation OF
Church and State is to preVall-con-
StitUtes the supreme triumph OF the
diplomacy of the present Pope. The
DebatS says so, and the great French
daily's view is confirmed by the com
mCnt OF the Giornale d'Italia, of
Rome. Pope Benedict may not have
the picturesque personality OF Plus X,
observes the Action, but he gives eyi
dence daily that, as an ecclesiastical
statesman he is not inferior to the
late Leo XIII. The impending
despatch of a Papal nunciO to Paris is
a eliminating point, the highest diplO
matte achievement of a POntificate
that has been one series Of victories
in this field. The Italian daily observes
that, with few exceptions, all the ma
tions that have come out of the world
war in any recognizable form hasten
to establish relations of a diplomatic
kind with the Vatican. England her.
self is displaying no haste in recalling
the mission she established there when
the struggle began. The great South
American Republic of Brazil has just
sent one of its most eminent men as
an envoy to the Pope. Even Portugal
is to receive nuncio once again.
Growing Political Power OF the
Vatican.
In the event of the substantial es
tablishment of the League of Nations
the representative of the Pope will bt
given a seat ultimately in the council
This assertion, repeated in the Italian
press after denials of a preSumabl!
official kind in the Anglo-SaXon coun
tries, causes some perpleXity. The
fact is, as the Roman newspaper al
ready quoted observes, the League
would be made up for the most par
Of nations which have diplomatic re
latiOns with the Vatican already. Th
only Government entitled to object t
the representation of the Pope in tn
League would be Italy. The relation
between the Pope and the Italian Gov
ernment, outside of the Parliament
are so cordial that taCit arrangement
on this subject has been entered into

Catholic Women's Leagues in fer
degree in their development than have
the women's leagues in our own
country. They have had their ma
tional women's organizations for
from ten to twenty years and these
constitute a real power in their
respective countries. Much can be
learned from a study of their meth
DDS in organization and their ex-
perience, writes Marguerite Boylan.
England.
In England the Catholic Women's S
League was organized in 1907 for
the purpose of uniting Catholic
women in a bond of common fellow
ship, for the promotion of religious
and intellectual interests and for
practical social work. Their aim is to
take a fair share of all civic duties
legislation, industrial and social does
! not infringe liberty or conscience or
cOntravene the moral law. The League
has established branches throughout
the country for the carrying out OF
the ideals of the national body. 1t is
recognized as the national represen
tative Catholic women's organization
and has representation on all impOr
| tant. civic and undenOminatiOnal
| philanthropic committees. 1t maintains
a constant channel of communica
| tion between Catholics all over Eng
| land, whereby it affords opportunity
for the interchange of mutual Catho
lie services and thus increases the
| general output of Catholic activity
| Information bureaus, Catholic moth
| ers' clubs, Catholic nurses guilds
| rescue homes and night refugees, girls
| clubs and hOstels, visitation of hospi
tails, warehouses and prisons, relief fol
| the poor, clothing depots, study cir
| cles, lectures and retreats, all form {
part of their activities. During thu
! War the Womens Catholic League
stated and managed thirty chape
huts, canteen huts and clubs, opened
hotels in several cities for munitions
workers, and carried on special worl
in behalf of the Belgian refugees il

Study Clubs.

Study clubs form an important
feature in the development of their
work. These study clubs are organ
lied in accordance with the general
methods and principles laid down by
the Catholic Social Guild of England
the objects of which are:
1. To facilitate intercourse between
Catholic students and workers.
2. To assist in working out the ap
| plication of Catholic principles to &C
| tual social conditions.
3. To create wider Interest
among Catholics in social questions
and to secure their cooperation in pro
noting social reform along Catholic
| lines.
| The Guild endeavors to secure it,
ends by promoting systematic and con
certed study, by the production ant
| circulation of literature dealing will
social subjects, by supplying informa
| tion, by encouraging the training o
lecturers and generally by coopera
| tion with local social effort. The pol
icy is to train Catholic men and womel
in every locality so that they may b.
the leaders in social action ant
thought. The Guild has issued ;
| variety of publications, embodying tn,
main points in the Catholic social pre-
gram in dealing with the questions o
the hour.

entirely in the dark as to Great
Britain's plans and purposes? Is
it not evidently scheme to
bring a large number of enthusi-
astic Zionists together for two
days, to stir them up to high
pitch of excitement by fambuoy
ant oratory, and by shouting and
hurrahing and singing to carry
them off their feet and to make
them pledge themselves to almost
anything demanded Of them? We
are given to understand before
hand that none of the regular or
ganization questions will be taken
up, which means that there will
be no reports, no accounting, no
discussion of desirable changes
and improvements in the organi-
zation. The delegates will simply
be sent home intoxicated with en-
thusiasm to do the bidding of the
Cabinet" A fine scheme, wor-
thy of the manager of the good
old-time Republican or Demo-
cratic conventions.
Over against this excessive en-
thusiasm that is being worked up
among the adherents Of the cause
as a result of the latest develop
ment, we have the other extreme,
the excessive belittlement Of the
event on the part of the old-time
opponents of Zionisn. For, after
all, the news from San Reno
should be very gratifying to every
Jew In the last issue of the
American 3Israelite DR.. David
Philipson's comment on the news
is that it Clashes to the ground
the Zionist program for the es-
Enlistment of ewish state"
And DR.. Louis Grossman writes
that the phrase National Home
for the Jews is juggling with
words. A democratic Pales-
tine is simply another English
colony, and Homeland and Jew.
ish commonwealth are words OF
mere drearners."
Between these two extremes
there is still the middle road, the
golden mean, that all earnest and
sincere Zionists will follow in the
future as they have followed it in
the past. We shall give Britain
the benefit of the doubt, and trust
her to deal fairly with us. We
shall do Our utmost to promote
the Zionist cause in and outside
of Palestine. We shall raise the
necessary funds for actual work,
for the building Of the homeland
