...Rome to Naples, but her more fragile mother, the sad-eyed, widowed Queen Mother of the Belgians, was unable to reach her bedside in time. When the babe was one day old he was carried on a satin pillow into the chapel of the Royal Palace where Cardinal Ascalesi, Archbishop of Naples, christened him with twelve names: Vittorio Emanuele Alberto Carlo Teodoro Umberto Bonifacio Amadeo Damiano Bernardino Gennaro Maria...
...done, that the tropics were telling on even his robust frame, and so he intimated to the Vatican. He was named bishop of Buffalo, where he sold Liberty Bonds, built schools and churches, liquidated a $1,100,000 debt on a new cathedral. In 1918 he became Archbishop of Philadelphia where ever since the name of "Dockerty" (as many of his flock pronounce it) has been a potent one. Strictest disciplinarian of the four U. S.

Finally Quezon abjured Freemasonry, had a chapel built in his house, became to all intents a good Catholic and took to playing golf with the Archbishop on Manila's Wack Wack links. For the duration of the Congress President Quezon invited Cardinal Dougherty to stay...
...toward Manila, in the Vatican Pius XI was gaining strength, and as the Conte Rosso entered Manila Bay last week the Pope was being moved about in a wheeled divan, doing more work and receiving more visitors than at any time since he fell ill two months ago. As Archbishop O'Doherty said last week: "Our fervent prayers ascended to the high heavens, beseeching God to prolong life of such a great Pontiff. Thank God our prayers were heard." On Saturday the Pope quietly passed the 15th anniversary of his election to the Chair of St. Peter...
