The Pope received an audience yesterday with Catholic Bishops from Southwark, New Westminster, Allahabad, Limerick, Clifton, and the Auxiliary of Malta. Our Rome correspondent reports that at the Vatican, preparations are being made for the Sanctification ceremony which will take place at St. Peter’s on Thursday. Several French Bishops have already arrived, and nearly 12,000 French pilgrims arrived in Rome yesterday as well.
