CHURCH PERSECUTED.
DISTRESS OF POPE PIUS
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) ROME, December 25.
Pope Pius, replying yesterday to the Christmas greetings of the 26 cardinals who are resident in Rome, said two things caused him great rejoicings, although there were two other things which caused him great distress.
He rejoiced at the progress made by King George, whose life now appeared to be out of danger, and at the disappearance of the threat of war between Bolivia and Paraguay.
But he was distressed at what he described as "the persecution of the Church" in Mexico and Russia.
