ISSUE WITH VATICAN
GROWS MORE ACUTE
Sensational Conflict Between
Pope and Argentina Over
Apostolic Appointment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, December %. -
The conflict between the Argentine
government and the Vatican over the
question of apostolic appointments
took a sensational turn yesterday. This
was when the government made pub
lic an opinion of the Argentine at
torney general, Senor Larreta. saying
that Mgr. Juan Boneo, Bishop of
Sante Fe, was liable to punishment
under the penal code for refusing to
submit to the government for its ap-
proval credentials of Pope Plus nam
ing him as apostolic administrator of
uhe archdiocese of Buenos Aires.
The attorney generals opinion was
sought after Mgr. Boneo, who Is an
Argentine citizen. had answered For
eign Minister Gallardo's demand for
his credentials by declaring that there
did not exist any Argentine law or
any constitutional provision requir-
ing that the Pope's nominations of
delegates be previously submitted to
the government.
Attorney Generals Position.
Taking a contrary view, Attorney
General Larreta claims that the gov
ernment's right to apostolic appoint
nents is derived from a papal bull
dated in 1908. comforting such right
in the New World on the King of
Spain. This. 1t is contended, passed
TO the Argentine government when
Argentine declared her independence
of Spain. The attorney generals
opinion holds that even though 1t is
pretended, this right could not pass
TO the Argentine government. and
that it has not been recognized by
the Vatican, it nevertheless is in
herent in sovereignty, is incorporated
In the Argentine constitution, and is
the exercise by the government of
Its proper supreme political authority
IN ecclesiastical affairs, and further
more that II has been confirmed by
traditional practice in all relations
between church and state in this
country.
The opinion advises the foreign min
lister that Mgr. Boneo must submit his
credentials in order that the govern
rent may determine, with the approval
of the Argentine supreme court.
whether or not to grant the prelate an
sxequatur to exercise his functions
within Argentine territory.
Held Act OF Rebellion.
1t says also that the monsignor
should be warned that II he continues
to refuse to produce his credentials
such an extraordinary attitude not
only Will nave 10 Oe coHSluereu as prov
ocation and an act of rebellion and dis
obedience to the government, but also
will carry the consequences and pun
ishment contemplated by section 22S of
the penal code"
This section of the code makes II a
crime to execute papal bulls, DEGREES
or other orders which need the ap-
proval of the government for fulfill
ment without having obtained such ap-
proval."

Strained Relations Aggravated.

A dispatch from Buenos Aires. De-
cember g. said the strained relations
between the Argentine government and
the Vatican, due to the refusal of the
Vatican to recognize the Argentine
governments selection of Mgr. de
Andrea as Archbishop of Buenos Aires,
appeared to have been aggravated by
the nomination by the Vatican Of Mgr
Boneo, as apostolic governor of the
Buenos Aires diocese without the Vati-
cans having consulted the Argentine
church authorities, who already had
named a governor Of their own selec-
tion.
Under the Argentine constitution the
president of the republic must be
Catholic and the government exercises
the right to pass upon the appointment
of ecclesiastical officials.
