ThePope'sSovereignty

Thecablesoflatehavebeendistributingvariousstatementsregarding thelong-standingdifferencebetweenthePapacyandtheItalianGovernment.Since1870,whentheconfiscationoftheStatesoftheChurchcreated whatisnowcalled"TheRomanQuestion,"andwhentheRomanPontiffwas forciblydispossessedofhistemporalsovereignty,therehasbeenstubbornresistancebythePapacytotheincorporationoftheStatesoftheChurch w'thintheKingdomofItaly.Inrecentdays,sincethenewItalianregime cameintopower,effortshavebeenmadetobringaboutasettlementofthis 1,,ngstandingmatter.StatementsweremadesomewhileagothattheItal:anGovernmentwasontheeveofapeacefulsolutionofthethornyprobem,buttheHolyFatherdeniedthattherewasanychangeintherelations betweentheVaticanandtheItalianGovernment.Nothingauthentic,that weareawareof,hassincetranspiredthatcanbetakenbytheCatholic worldasarapprochementbetweenthepartiesconcernedinthishistoric dispute.TheHolyFatherisstillthe"PrisoneroftheVatican."Hehas refusedtoaccepttheprovisionsoftheLawofGuarantees,madein1871, whichincludedanindemnityintheshapeofanannualendowmentofapproximately£128,000tocoveralltheneedsoftheHolySee.Thethenreigning Pontiff,PiusIX.protestedagainstthelaw,inwhichhisHolinesssaid:"It wasnoeasytasktodecidewhetherabsurdity,cunning,orcontemptplayed thelargestpart."Accordingtothe.CatholicEncyclopedia,thestipulations ofthislawwereveryplausiblysetout.Theprincipalonesare:

ThearticlesoftheLawofGuaranteesassurethePopeandallengaged inthespiritualgovernmentoftheChurch,aswellastheCollegeofCardinals assembledinConclave,completelibertyofcommunicationwiththeCatholicworld,exemptthemfromallinterferencewiththeirletters,papers,etc." ThePope,however,refusedtorecogniseintheItalianGovernmentanyright togranthimprerogativesortomakelawsforhim,andinanEncyclicaldeclaredthatnoguaranteescouldsecurehimthelibertyandindependencenecessaryintheexerciseofhispowerandauthority.ThePopehadnoassurance thatthelawvotedbytwoHousesoftheItalianParliamentwouldnotwith equaleasebeabrogatedbythemwhenpoliticalcircumstancesrequired.The historyofParliamentaryachievementinItalyfromtheestablishmentofthe Kingdomisnotwithoutmanystrangerepercussions.PiusIX.hadvery goodreasonfornottrustingthegentlemenwhohadrobbedhimofthepatri monalestates.SoneitherPiusIX.orhissuccessorshavetouchedtheendowment,buthavedependedontheofferingsofthefaithfulthroughoutthe Catholicworld.Theendowment,ithasbeennotedbyacommentator,was notsufficienttomeettheneedsoftheChurch.
