VaticanCity.-Initsfirstcommenton theevent,OsservotoreRomanoauthoritativelyconfirmedthatHisHolinessPopePius hadavisionofChrist.Itsaidthevision mustbeunderstoodandevaluatedinthe lightofChrist'srealpresenceinHisChurch.

Underthecaption,"Itis theLord,"theVaticanCity newspaperfront-pageda longarticlewhich,though unsigned,isreliablyreportedtohavebeenwrittenby apersonofthe"highest authority."

Apartfromthefactthat Osservatorehadsofarnot mentionedasingleword regardingtheeventwhich becameworldnewsthree weeksearlier,theimportanceofthearticleisevidencedbythesourceit quotestoconfirmprevious accounts.

TheVaticanCitydaily saidthatthePope'svision mustbeconsidered"inthat heavenlylightwherepain isregardedasameansof perfectionandofunion withGodandlikeaninvisiblecompanionforapostolic workuntilitawakensin himwhoserenelyacceptsit asurprisinghappiness."

Osservatoreemphasisedthatthe"indiscretion" hroughwhichthefirstacountsofthePope'svision becameknownwas"certainlyneitherdesirednor approved"bytheHoly Father.Itsaid:

"Itshouldratherbemade clearthattheHolyFather showedhimselffranklydispleasedbytheindiscretion, evenifitwasdoubtlessly madewithgoodintentions."
