Through a cemetery in San Antonio, Tex. one day last week moved soldiers, priests, politicians, Governor James V. Allred, San Antonio's Catholic Archbishop Arthur Jerome Drossaerts, Mexico's exiled Apostolic Delegate Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, and a hearse bearing a coffin containing a heap of old bones. Into a fresh grave went the bones, good Catholic dust, buried 200 years ago in a San Antonio mission cemetery, lately dug up in good preservation during excavation for a new post office...
...College of the Incarnate Word near San Antonio, Tex. sits Pope Pius' staff commander in the stern fight for Mexican souls, Monsignor Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, still Apostolic Delegate to Mexico, though ousted by its Government (TIME, Oct. 17, 1932). Last week in the pages of Catholicism's Commonweal appeared stirring details of soul warfare between State and Church...

To it went scores of priests, monsignori and bishops, among them Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, new Apostolic Delegate to the U. S., and Most Rev. Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, exiled Apostolic Delegate to Mexico. In Amarillo they made processions, held solemn ceremonies in the Cathedral, all in honor of a plump prelate whom they presently escorted by train to Santa Fe, there to install him as Santa Fe's seventh archbishop. He was Most Rev. Rudolph...
