POPE AND AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRACY.
Not Regarded aa Socialism.
LONDON, September 26
Miss Helen Jerome, the Australian journalist, who has visited America, and is now in Europe, has endeavoured to ob- j tain an interview with the Pope on Aus-1 tralian socialism, in view of the discussion some time ago between Cardinal j Moran and Mr. G. R. Eeid. She failed to obtain the interview, and also to get . any statement of the Pope's opinion on j the subject. . I Count Hagan, vice-rector of the Irish ! College at Rome, has written to her to; the effect that in the long run the ques- j tion is not far removed from doctrinal I matters. So far as he can judge, the so- I eial programme approved by Cardinal | Moran is no more real soc'alism," as the term is understood in Europe, than Cath- j olicism is paganism. It was simply what was known as Christian democracy, of which Leo XIII. and the present Pope j warmly approved.
