Trouble at Vatican Over Roosevelt Crisis and Noble Guard
A fragmentary report describes Theodore Roosevelt as an indirect trigger for a Vatican crisis. Count Francis Salomei, a Rome municipal councilor and clerical party member, attended a dinner in Roosevelt’s honor, leading Cardinal Merry del Val to dismiss him from the Noble Guard. The issue sparked a collective resignation threat, later softened to suspension and pay for twelve months after intervention by Signor Pacelli. The Noble Guard, dating to 1801, serves a ceremonial role with Swiss guards handling actual protection. The unit, once limited to Rome’s patrician families, has since admitted nobles of recent origin.
