...City were crowing one morning last week, priests had begun their early orisons, when a guttural little group of government officials appeared at the door of 66-year-old Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores and demanded his person. The prelate, who somewhat resembles the present Pope, knew what to expect. As the Vatican's Apostolic Delegate (appointed 1929) he was the head & front of his church in Mexico. The Pope's encyclical Acerba animi ("bitterness of soul'') of last fortnight, complaining about the Mexican Government's treatment of the church, had stirred angry talk among...

...church remained intact until the year 1810, when much of it was pulled down, in order to furnish building material. The restoration of the old church is impossible, but it is our purpose to get plans of the layout. We have gone quite a long way by now and expect to complete the work by 1935, at which time I expect to begin work on a book describing the monastery. Work on the newer church has also gone a long way, fairly accurate drawings of it have been already completed. Fortunately, many fragments have been found, aside from the sections...
