We are surprised that the Times has had no article
denounc- ing the weakness and imbecility of Monsignore Giambattista Savarese, who, lately a domestic prelate of the Pope, was re- ceived into the communion of the American Episcopal Church last Sunday by the Rev. Dr. Nevin, Rector of St. Paul's Church, Rome. It appears that Monsignore Savarese had belonged for twenty-six years to the Ecclesiastical Appeal Court at the Vatican, so that it is quite certain he must be of mature age,— and we all know what the Times thinks of " the poor and narrow-brained persons who are troubled at thirty with any question about the form of religion they have lived under." Monsignore Savarese is much troubled, a t an age that is probably double the Times' maximum, concerning the form of religion he has lived under, so troubled that because he sees no hope of reforming it, he has joined another religious communion. Why have we had no thunderbolt launched against this " poor and narrow-brained" member of the Roman Curia ?
