Rome’s Encyclical to America

By Editor

THE "supreme pontiff" of Rome has sent an "encyclical letter" to the American people, in which he sets forth the position of the Catholic Church in equivocal terms on the relation of Church and State, appeals to the churches to return to the Roman Catholic Church, and longs for the time when "there shall be one fold and one shepherd," by which he means that the Roman Catholic Church shall be the fold, and the pope the shepherd. We will have more to say when the entire letter is made public. It ought to interest Americans.
