Show ' ' A PREPOSTEROUS REPORT. There is a report current in Denver, that Archbishop Martenelli the Apostolic Apos-tolic delegate, has written several let- I ters to some priests in the diocese, in which he has asked their opinion of the character and ability of a certain priest, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Bishopric of Tucson. ( It is not necessary, of course, for The Intermountain Catholic to state that Archbishop Martenelli has written no such letters. It is not customary for the Propaganda or its representatives representa-tives to write to every Tom. Dick and Harry, regarding the merits of men whose names are proposed as Bishops; much less do the authorities take into their confidence men who will make confidential correspondence a matter of public consideration. The Intermountain Catholic makes this statement only because of the public reports, in Colorado, that Archbishop Arch-bishop Martenelli had acted in a way which sensible men know he would never dream of acting. |
