ROME, Oct. 22 As a result of the
war. the chief sources of the Vatican's
income, represented by Bavaria, Aus
tria, Belgium and Franco, became so
impoverished that Pope Benedict was
iil.liu-erl to appea to Spain, Latin-America
and the fnlted States, declares
thjS Oiomale d'ltalla, in an article un
det the caption of "America, the
Papay's Hope" The newspaper add?
when Monslgnor Bonavehture Cerret
ti. under secretary of state at the Vat
ican, went to America to attend the
golden jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons, a
report was circulated that he had gone
with the object of negotiate a loan
of $1,000,000 for the Holy See. In
reality, however, his object was to col
lect Jl.000,000 from the American
Catholics.
Monslgnor Cerettl, the newspaper
declares, appealed to the Knights of
Columbus. The delegation of knights
which recently came to Koine, is said
to have offered Pope Benedict $250,
000 promising the remainder, or a sum
which perhaps might even exceed the
$1,000,000
"Besides," says the Journal, "the
knights gave the pope to understand
that if grave, troubles should arise In
Italy he could find protection and hos
pitality in America. After Rome was
occupied by Italian troops In 1S70, a
French Vessel awaited the orders of
Pope Plus for a year at Civita Vecchlal
and the knights said that In the event
of a new crises, an American ship
would lake a similar position."
