Mother Seton
TestimOnyFill ills
1000 Pages

ROME - radio, Nc - Some
1000 pages of evidence and testi-
mony are contained in volume
being printed in connection with
the Identification cause of Mother
Elizabeth Ann Seton
This was revealed here by Off
cials of the Sacred Congregation of
Rites who reported that all the pre-
liminary work of gathering testi-
mony has been completed and that
the cause is making good progress.
Mother Seton, who died at En-.
mitsburs, Nd, on January 4. 1921,
was q convert and the fovndress of
the American branch of the Sisters
of Charity. She may become the
first native saint Of the United
States if she Is raised 10 the hon.
oFs of the altar.
According to the officials, Moth
err Seton's cause, which was off
cially introduced in Rome on Feb.
28, 1910, offers excellent pros
poets" for the future. However,
they cautioned against oyer-anxi-
ETY., because much long and ardu-
Gus work remains ahead
The next step, the officials ex-
planned, will be long study of the
testimony on Mother Seton by
members of the Sacred Congrega-
tion, including a board of Csrdi-
nails.
When this study is completed,
there will be meetings of the
Congregation for study and dis
cussion of the merits of the beati-
fication cause. If no objection is
raised at the first two meetings,
the third meeting will take place
in the presence of the Pope, and
a final decision made concerning
the heroism of the virtues Of Moth
er Seton.
If this first stage of the apostol-
ic process is successful, the Con-
gregati0n officials added, the Pope
will issue a decree concerning the
heroic virtue of the Servant of the
God. She may then be called Ven
erable, but no public yeneration
may be shown her.

Death Sentence
Repeatedly Not
Carried Out

XANTHE, Greece, (NC) ~ New
evidence has reached Bulgarisns
living here that the death sent
ence passed on Bishop Eugene
Bossilkoff of Nikopol just one
year ago has not been carried out.
Amid the protests of the free
world Bishop BossiIkoff was sent
enced TO death on October 3, 1852.
on charges of espionage" for the
Vatican. There were reports, never
confirmed, that he had been ex-
ecuted.
According to information receiv-
ed here, Bishop Bossiikoff is now
being held at a prison in Plovdiv,
the largest Bulgarian city near the
Greek frontier.
The Plovdiv prison authorities
recently sent word TO the Bishops
house at Ruse, near the Rumanlan
frontier, the information states,
asking that the Bishops personal
belongings be sent to the Ploydiv
prison. The prison authorities have
also permitted food packages to
be sent to the Bishop, it is stated,
Confirmation that the Bishop is
still alive is also contained in q
speech made last month by a pro
regime priest. Father Nikolai Ra.
den. Father Raden stated that the
attempt of ''reactionaries" to make
a martyr of Bishop Bossilkoff will
fall because the Bishop is still alive.
No information has been receiv.
ed about the three priests sentenc-
ed to death with the Bishop. The
belief is that they have been exec
uted.
II is also reported that another
priest. imprisoned in 1851, died in
Jail in April of this year. He is
identified as Father Jordanov,
Some 40 priests are reported TO be
held in Bulgarian jails al the pres
ent time.
