ARGENTINE GOVT. i.
DIFFERS WITH Pope
ON APPOINTMENTS

Buenos Aires, Dec. 21-(By A. Pm
The conflict between the Argentine
government and the vatican over the
question of apostolic appointments
took n sensational turn today when
the government made public nm opin-
Ion OF the Argentine attorney general.
Senior Larretta, saying the Monsignor
Juan Boneo. bishop OF Santa Fe. was
liable for punishment under the pen
nj code for refusing to submit TO the
government for its approval creden-
tials of Pope Plus naming him IN
apostolic administrator OF the arch
diocese Of BuenOs Aires.
The attorney generals opinion wAa
sought inter Monsignor Boneo. who
Is an Argentine citizen. had answered
Foreign Minister Gallardps demand
for his credentials by declaring there
did not exist any Argentine law, or
any constitutional provision requlr-
ing that the pope's nominations Of
delegates be previously submitted 10
the government. h..
Taking q contrary view, Attorney
General Larretta claims that tho
governments right to make apostolic
u
bulletin dated 1903, comforting the
right 10 make nominations In the new
world on the king OF Spain. Thia. &c
Ia contended, passed to the Argentine
government when Argentina declared
her Independence Of Spain. The opin-
ion of the attroney general holds thnt
even though 1t Is pretended this right
could not pass to the Argentine gov
eminent and that II has not been
recognized by the vatican, Il never
theless Is inherent in eovereignty, Il
Incorporated In the Argentine tonstiy
tuition and IN the exercise by the
government Of its proper supreme
political authority In ecclesiastical
affairs. and Furthermore that Il has
been confirmed by tradition practice
In all relations between church and
state in this country.
The opninion advises the foreign
minister that Monsignor Boneo must
submit his credentials In order that
the government may determine, with
the APPROVAL OF the Argentine supreiiiA
court, whether or not TO grant tfio
prelate an exquatur to exercise hts
functions within Argentine territory.
