THE POPE'S POSITIONHE DOES NOT PROPOSE TO LEAVE ITALY.
One of the principal reasons which determined the Pope on calling the last secret consistory was that he had received a communication from France urging him to leave Rome, and putting at his disposal a residence in any city he chose in that country, besides promising him re-establish-ment of the temporal power in Rome. The Holy Father told the cardinals.assembled in the consistory that he refused the offer from France because he would not leave Rome, except at the last moment in case of a war in which Italy is complicated, and which consequently would put his person in danger, but he would never leave if his doing so would be the means of France declaring war for his cause against Italy, for whom from the bottom of his heart .he wishes every good. "I desire above all things that peace be maintained," he said.
Paterfamilias: "Clara, I see that the front gate is down this morning." -Clara: "Yes, papa, you know love levels all things."
