It is only in the last couple of years, with the publications of Persico's correspondence with Cardinal Manning, that the real facts of the case have been known. After spending six months in Ireland, the envoy was obliged, for reasons of health, to move to Devonshire in January, 1888.
Beyond this, until recently, nothing more was known except that it was remarked that negotiations between the Duke of Norfolk and the Vatican were broken off, and that the former left Rome suddenly for England without having an audience with the Pope, for which arrangements had been made. Persico's return to Ireland to see that the terms of the decree were enforced and applied, was not correct.
