The Messagero, | an anti-clerical organ, alone comments edi- rially on the matter. This paper says When the s was spread it was re- |ceived with incredulity, many regarding it |as a maliclous fabrication of the enemies of the Catholic church, but when con- | firmed it produced comment disasirous to the Vatican. Men of every religion daily visit the pope without first glving the itin- |ervary of the ehurches which they intend {to visit. Why should the Vatican require Mr. Roosevelt to Ignore the churches of his own religlon during his short stay in Rome?
