Pope elevates our Patriarch to Cardinal amid royal reconcilia
News from Rome confirms the Pope created the Patriarch Cardinal in an extraordinary move. The King plans a resumption of the Nunciature, opens it, and may dispatch Cardinal de la Morta to Rome as minister, with preparations for an extraordinary ambassador to honor the Holy See. The Nuncio Cavallieri met the King and Queen, while Mourning for the British Queen and visits to Bellem are noted. The Duke of Berwick presented credentials, and Montalegre drafts the Polish marriage contract. The City braces for Swiss Guards and Life Guards, plus pensions for former court staff, while 30,000 crowns of old plate fund mourning expenses.
