Bancroft on Papal Policy and American Catholicism

Mr. Bancroft, late Minister to Germany, says that he said that he had been convinced at Berlin that the policy of the pope was to strengthen and consolidate the Catholic Church of America. He saw plainly the first step in the creation of an American cardinal. He thinks from this time forward the church will figure more prominently in the politics of this country. The church is laboring under many grievous distractions in Europe, and it is probable that the way is being prepared for important and momentous movements in future, should circumstances arise to make them necessary.—Detroit Tribune.
