New Cardinals

By Editor

New Cardinals.— The Western Watchman is our authority for saying that the papal consistory will be opened in Rome November 22, at which time a number of new red hats will be distributed. The Anglo-Saxon Catholics in Germany, England, and America would like to see a little larger sprinkling of cardinals outside of the Latin countries. American Catholics expect a new cardinal or two. Will the coveted honor fall on Archbishop Ireland, or Archbishop Farley, or both, or some new men? The Watchman's correspondent says: “The coming consistory is to be ‘one of surprises,’ and ‘the dark horse is going to win.’ Never, perhaps, in the history of the Papacy have the secrets of the Vatican been so well kept.” And Pius X, we may add, is afraid of the men who have had all their training in Protestant lands.
