Last week alert correspondents in Rome announced another Council called by another Pius for the year 1930. What cosmic questions would it answer? Only one thing was certain: questions and answers would be as different as are Pius IX and Pius...
...Diderot had not written in vain. In England, Newman and Manning, hearing irreverences in the free speech, started the Oxford movement, which was simply a revitalized literal belief in such credos as the 39 Articles. Neither realized then that they had taken one of the many roads to Rome...
...Rome, Pio Nono, no longer liberal, heard too. True that Manning and Newman entered his fold. True that Catholicism because of the very tolerance Voltaire had preached was spreading into Protestant countries. But Pius saw greedy eyes cast at the Papal lands. He, too, must cut the figure of a ruler, intimidate the Kings and Emperors.

This royal match has been rumored for so many years that incredulity must again be to the fore. All the same M. Muchanoff allowed himself to be most significantly quoted by the militant Fascist daily Il Tevere. At the very least his words served notice to Italians that a Roman Catholic princess need not switch to the Orthodox faith in order to become Bulgaria...
