Papal Delegates and Government Honors

This was also done a few years ago when Satolli came. It is a distinction that the government would not show to any other religious denomination, or to an ambassador of any other foreign power. Yet many people scout the idea that in the United States is to be found the "image" to the papal "beast," and its enforced worship.
