POPE AND MODERNISM.
UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS. EXPECTED TO OPPOSE THE MOVEMENT. INDIGNATION~~IN PRUSSIA. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. BERLIN, 30th January. The Prussian Government reoenty required the exemption of professors of Catholic theology in Prussian Universities from the anti-Modernist oath, arguing that they were Prussian officials and that the oath would deprive them of their independence as teachers. It was officially understood that the Vatican had yielded but a letter from the Pope to the Archbishop of Cologne, which has now been published, expresses the conviction that while professors not holding shurch benefices are exempted, th6y, ratner than bow before men inspired with hate against the Catholic faith, should be the first to take the oath m order to show their independence. The letter has caused a great outburst in the press. Even the "Kreuz Zeitung" accuses the Pope of intentionally provoking a conflict with the Prussian Government.
