THE FAITH OF ROMAN CATHOLICS.
Before Arehbiahop Manning betook himself last
week to Rome, he drew up a Circular, which was on
Sunday read in all the Chapels of his Archdiocese.
The Arc.hbishop declare.—or at least, desire, his
hearers to understand that he declares-- -in thin Circular,
read from the altar at High Mass —"Events which
unhai:pily are notorious ilidUCO Us to make known to
the k aithful, lest any should he misled by the wonls
or example of Mae or two who still proles, to he
Catholic, that whosoever does not in his heart receive
and believe the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception
and the doctrine of the Infallibility of the Vicar ~f
jeans Christ, as they have been defined by the Supreme
Authority of the (1111rell, (het, by that very fact cease
to be • Catholic." The promulgation of l'apal Infalli-
bility in faith and innals a-amnesic(' with an anathema,
and admits no refusal or rears,ning. If any persons
should reason or refuse, and still call themselves
Roman Cotholice, and go torlonfoodon or Communion,
the edict says they " deceive our clergy," and "commit
alcrilege, to their own greater condemnation." The
Roman ArAbi,diop makes this notification at the
order of the Vatican. It amounts to excommunica-
tion.

The Tuna says the Archbishop has spoken. Quit-
ting the dubious controveraiem of newspaper columns,
where a man is judged for just what he can say for
himself, be retreats to the securer footing of an attar's
steps, and there denounces believer' who anticipated
himself in devotion to the Ifoly See. All those who
donut receive and believe the newly declared doctrine,'
upon which he insists do thereby cease to be Catholic.
All those who preemie to contradict the ilefinition of
Infallibility are Anathema. With which comfortable
assurances, another Advent is proclaimed to poor
mortals weary of the waste of words under which the
simple facto of the First Advent are buried out of
sight and knowledge. The Daily Telegraph sap' it
remains to be even what action the infereor priests
will take on Ruch orders against men so eincere,
honourable, and pions as le.rd Acton, Mr. Petre, and
Sir George Bowyer, and the others, who have each
and all in some way limited the immense postulates of
Apostolic Constitution. All that we have to remark
upon no furious A mole English gentlemen is that
"bell, book, and candle.' are not only te, answer to
arguments, but a very ugly and old-fashioned way of
confessing that there is nothing to be sail If Rome
has no better rejoinder t. Lord Acton and his aup-
porter,' than this "rusty weapon," she will find that
a wounds herself worse than anybody in this country.
Mr. Crladstone's pamphlet is also criticised in a
pastoral by Dr. Clifford, the Roman Catholic Bishop
of Clifton (Bristol), alio it.serta the loyalty of his co-
religioniata, and says that the Pope hew no power to
free a Roman Catholic from his allegiance.
