In behalf of the family of the pope: pro familia papae

In the presence of the pope: coram papa
Without life: sine vita
At the hour: ad horam
For the purpose of the glory of the church: in gloriam ecclesiae

Explanations for the answers in part II:

1. In behalf of = pro (prep. + abl.), hence we must use (the) family = familia (s. abl.), and for the
phrase, of the pope = papae (s. gen.)
Combining the parts to form: pro familia papae
2. In the presence of = coram (prep. + abl.), (the) pope = papa (s. abl.). Combining, we have:
Coram papa
3. Without = sine (prep. + abl.), life = vita (s. abl.). Combining, we have: Sine vita
4. For [the purpose of] = in (prep. + acc.), therefore we must use (the) glory = gloriam (s. acc.) and
for of (the) church = ecclesiae (s. gen.)
