in the choice of representatives? The recent elevation to the purple of an ex-Nuncio who, amid the anxieties and the sufferings of a people torn by religious strife, was engaged in granting nuptial benedictions at a nice profit—and you knew it, and were grieved by it; the Montagnini case, the incidents of which not yet made public are more numerous than those which are known (the single preoccupation of your counsellors is to keep concealed from you the things which displease you); the promotion bestowed upon a Nuncio whose disgusting avarice was well known to all; the dispatch to the East of a prelate who had been removed on account of his stupidity
establish an organization of worship in his diocese which, he hoped, would not transgress either the spirit or the letter of the Encyclical of August 10. It appears, however, that this project was rejected at Rome, and the report ran that Mgr. Le Camus died while writing a letter to the Pope in which he sought to justify his action.—Tr.
