STORY DISCREDITED.
COUNT’S EXCOMMUNICATION. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 27. “Those responsible for this announcement are certainly not strong in geography and history and the ignorance betraved is sufficient to discredit it, ’ said Rev. Father McKeefry, editor of the Roman Catholic newspaper Zealandia, referring to the reported ex : communication of Count Ferrari cli Celle, of Cuneo, as a sequel to a land dispute with the Vatican. “Cuneo never at any time formed part of the Papal States,” Father McKeefry said. “It is in the province of Piedmont, and from 1720. when the ancient family of Savoy assumed sovereign rank, it formed part of the kingdom of Piedmont, and so by 1870, when the Papal States were taken by the Italian Government, Cuneo had been recognised as part of the King of Savoy’s territory for 150 years. The Vatican-Jtalian concordat was signed in 1929, and the only places outside Rome that’ were set down for further deliberation were the Holy House of Loreton, the Basilica of St. Anthony at Padua, and the triple Basilica of St. Francis and the monastery at Assisi.”
