I’ve recently been cleaning up some of the stuff laying around in my room, and I came across some notes I took while reading the New York Times from June 28, 1914. One headline in particular amused me:
“Pope Carefully Watched. He Keeps Very Well, but Persists in Exposing Himself.”
No wonder interest in religion was stronger back then.
