POWER OF THE POPE.
VISIT OF REIGNING KING. SHARP COMMENT AT VATICAN. -'THE WOUND OP 1870." (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.30 p.m.) ROME, November 30. "Osservatore Romano," the organ of the Vatican, has aroused considerable comment by the publication of an article protesting against the interpretation placed by Italian and foreign newspapers on the King of Spain's visit to the Pope. It denies that the visit signifies the Pope's final renunciation of all dreams of recovering temporal power. The Pope, by granting permission to •Catholic sovereigns to visit Rome, has not in any way acquiesced in the situation created in 1870.
An Encyclical issued in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV., by which permission was first "accorded, is quoted to the effect that this concession must not be interpreted as a tacit renunciation of the Pope's Sacrosanct rights. On the contrary, his Holiness has renewed the protest made by his predecessors. The article concludes: "The wound of 1870 cannot be cured by blandishments." (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
