Very coldly the Princes received this speech. They were no more pleased when II Telegrafo, mouthpiece of Foreign Minister Count Ciano, thumbed down as a "political" Cardinal Secretary of State Pacelli, nominated as a Pastor Angelicas, predicted in old prophecies, the pious Archbishop of Florence, Cardinal dalla Costa. Since as a rule the Roman Catholic Church prefers to lead opinion rather than follow it, Il Telegrafo's nomination could be considered a death-kiss...
...Quaker President Herbert Hoover should say: "We are a great Catholic nation and such we should remain!"-that would be news. In Vatican City last week Editor Count G. Dalla Torre of the Papal newsorgan Osservatore Romano thought he had news nearly as big. Just arrived was a communication from Jean Cardinal Verdier, new Archbishop of Paris (TIME, Dec. 2). Joyously the prelate reported that he had just had audience with the President of France, M. Gaston ("Gastou-net") Doumergue, stanch Protestant, who said (said the Cardinal): "Your Eminence is a representative among us of that immense moral force...
Once more Pope Pius XI's loyal Count Dalla Torre, editor of Osservatore Romano rushed into the breach last week and attacked the Fascist Party. Cause of the quarrel: the perambulating Fascist theatre, grandiloquently known as "Car of Thespis."

Much like the Christian Science Monitor in format is the papal paper except that it carries no advertisements or cooking recipes, displays the triple tiara of the Pope and his crossed keys to Earth and Heaven. Though crime news is excluded, sensations are not. Thus a recent headline in L'Osservatore reads: Un bambino investito da un autocarro ("A little boy attacked [i. e. bumped] by an automobile"). Significant details were given...
...most of the remainder were sacrificed at even lower prices later in the slump week. At the time the Holy See gave no sign, unless an article in the Papal daily L'Osservatore Romano could be called such. In an article flaying "Market Vampires and , Exploiters," Editor Count Dalla Torte lamented that "the fate of the great world of investors is left to the caprice and enchanted power of a handful of men who caused the world to be shaken between 10 a. m. and noon." No libeller, the Count did not name any particular Wall Street operator...
