Rupture? In Madrid last week Monsignor Federigo Tedeschini, the Papal Nuncio, was reported to be urging Pope Pius XI not to break openly with the Spanish Republic or pronounce such charges of "unheard of persecution" as His Holiness pronounced recently against the Mexican Republic (TIME, Oct. 10).

'A field abandoned is a field lost' is said to be his view. . . . He feels that a rupture between Spain and the Vatican would...
...splendour of a continent had gathered in homage. Talleyrand was there, with the ironical manner which caused the Emperor to assault him once in Fontainebleau, and the ambassador of Alexander of Russia.

Catechized, Monsignor Spellman was assisted up the steps to the altar, where he kissed the episcopal ring...
...Celebrant of the Mass, and of a special mass for 70,000 children from all over Ireland, is to be Papal Legate Lauri. This well-born Roman prelate, an oldtime lecturer in Rome's College of the Propaganda, successor of Achille Cardinal Ratti (now Pope Pius XI) as Nuncio to Warsaw, is to arrive in Dublin this week. The city has conferred on him its Honorary Freedom, set up a triumphal arch with two 46-ft. towers under which he is to pass in entering. Unlike such Irish cities as Kilkenny, Limerick and Waterford, Dublin no longer dresses...
...uttermost parts of the world goes news of the election of Achille Cardinal Ratti, Archbishop of Milan, to be Rome's 261st Pope. Facts: he is 64, stocky, a onetime mountain-climber; famed as Papal Nuncio to seething Poland; a sober, scholarly cleric; a politically-minded, potent man of action...
