The Pope’s Strange Captivity

Recently a concourse of German pilgrims were at the vatican, and read an address to the pope. In this Leo XIII. was called Peter, and the faithful stated that he was now in the bondage of Herod. It is certainly a strange captivity, when the captor can be visited and addressed in this manner in his own resident city. When this address was read, the pope was surrounded by fifteen cardinals, thirty bishops and archbishops and a full royal pageant.—Independent.
