Show Returns to Mother Church. The well-known Maltese anti-clerical journalist, Matteb Decaesare, editor of La Sede del Papl, has just died in Rome. On learning that his end had come, Descaesare repented of the campaign cam-paign he has carried on against the church for such a long time, and left behind a document of some interest, considering the previous life of the writer. "I the undersigned, repentant of my errors, declare that I wish to die in the bosom the Catholic church, my mother, which I profess and believe to be the only true church. I repudiate every doctrine that is not taught by her. and I believe and profess to believe all that the Roman Apostolic Catholic church teaches. 1 regret intensely having hav-ing in my writings insulted ecclesiastical ecclesiasti-cal authority in the venerated person of his excellency the archbishop of Rhodes and bishop of Malta, of whom I now humbly ask pardon and beg his pastoral blessing. (Signed) MATTEO DECAESARE." |
