CLERICAL AGGRESSIONS ON THE RHINE.
-----
I In the upper Rhenish provinces of Germany, and
particularly in Baden, where Englishmen " most do
congregate," the aspect of religious affairs is, at first
eight, such Si to gladden the heart of the liberal and
tolerant Christian. Baden is strictly what the
Germans call a " paritatisch" state. The two reli-
gions have equal rights. Catholics and protestants
I meet there under the roof of the same church to wor-
ship. At Heidelberg, the principal church is divided
into two parts for the use of the two denominations.
At !laden, the Roman catholice, the Lutheran pro-
testant*, and the Anglican church, have each a ser-
vice on the Sunday in the same church. Dr. Arnold,
it is well known, would base been glad that our
churches should have been shared in the same man-
' ner between the several denominations in England.
Without now discussing the practicability of such an
arrangement in this country, we can readily
affirm that it is a very pleasant object in Ger-
many. At the first view, then, it would nppear
that Baden is the tolerant state par e.rrellrar • ;
toleration seems to have fled there, atter being
banished from the rest of the world. And this is true
of the government. 'the only chance of the happy
state .of things being disturbed arises out of the
conduct of the catholic clergy.
Every true liberal must be in favour of the utmost
extension of religious freedom, and will ever depre-
cate the interference of the etate with the religious
convictions of any body of men. Theohrgical dog-
mas are a matter concerning which each man's
conscience must decide for itself. The state, if
it interferes with such a decision, breaks ea-
criligiously into the holiest of holies. That
the mere profession of a certain creed should
involve civil disabilities is a grievous sin
on the part of a state which allows it. A catholic
relief bill is not a boon, it is an net of bare justice.
It is a restitution of rights sinfully withheld. But
if religion has its rights in its relation to the state,
it is no less true that the state has its rights in rela-
tion to religion. The state has a right to claim, and
to enforce the claim, that no religious body shall
place any obstacle in the way of the due performance
of the functions of government. A religious body
opposing this claim becomes contumacious by its
very iippaeition, and antagonistic to the state, and
amenable to punishments in such Cal/Cll provided.
Now the state, in conferring benefits upon a religious
body,claints from it the same respect as from a civil
body, and above all it claims that observance of its
decrees without which civil government is impos-
sible. How far this is the case in Baden may be
seen from a few instances:—On the late occasion of
the death of the Grand I)uke, the government made
the usual request to the beads of the two great reli-
gious denominations, that a solemn service should
be held on a particular day. 'rho protest tots of
course obeyed, but, to the astonishment of all, a
mandate was issued by the Archbishop of Freiburg,
the head of the catholic clergy for the Upper Rhine
Provinces, ordering a mutilated service. 'this was
considered so contrary to all usual practice, so calcu-
lated to impair in the minds of tho people that
respect without which no government can be
carried on, that, in spite of the rigid discipline
to which they are subject, a largo number of
catholic priests refused to submit to the
mandate, and performed the service in the usual
way. In moat instances this was done at the re-
quest of the flocks of the several priests. Sonic time
elapsed before publi: notice was taken of these acts
of disobedience, but a short time back, the archbishop
notified his intention of suspending those priests who
acted contrary to his orders. Here surely was an act
which brings the church in collision with the state.
The submissive subjects of the state are to -sutler in
their civil rights, to incur pecuniary loss on account
of an ordinance of one of the governors of the
church. This is the view taken by the government,
which has protested against the conduct of the arch-
bishop, and thus is a collision provoked between a
church and the state. The circumstance is the
subject of much excitement and discussion in
Baden, as the present duke is behaved to be
on the point of death, and a repetition
of similar conduct is expected on the part of the
clergy. There can be no doubt of the tendency of
such occurrences to loosen the fabric of national lite.
They tend to encourage the belief amongst the pro-
fessors of catholicism that there is a higher risible
governing society than the civil government—that
treir duties as members of a nation are not to be
placed in comparison with those to which they are
subject as members of a certain society within the
nation. The feeling which attaches men to their
country is thus violently thrust back, and these
persons can only be good churchmen when they are
bad subjects.
That the great aim of the Romish Church is appa-
rently to stifle all feeling of nationality seems to be
shown from the proceedings of an assembly consisting
of nearly the whole of the German and Austrian
bishop*. In a pastoral brief proceeding from this
assembly, the bishops say to their flocks :
Remember this, however the world may Mame you or
you, your highest happiness consists in your inti-
mate union with all the Catholic faithful en earth, and do
not allow yourselves to be led into error by those who tell
7os that this firm union with the church and its COMNSOR
howl Is an-German, to.
Again, the bishops
Warn their flocks solemnly against all those erroneous
representations which would make any distinction between
the native country and a foreign country (island sad
Ragland) in the church, end which make tie union with
the Pope a sin against nationality, or describe it as danger
ous sad ma-German.

In full conformity with these views the bishops
then boldly declare that all the concordats or agree-
ments which the catholic church has solemnly made
with the civil power must be abolished, if it should
be found that theyact in any manner no es to impede
the action of the church. After this the reader will
not be astonished to hear that, in the February of
this year, the bishops of the Upper Rhenish provinces
published a series of demands which, if granted,
would release the clergy from all and every respon-
sibility to the state, and concluded by declaring that
tulle's their demands were granted they were deter-
mined " so to proceed and so to act as if every point
were granted, let the easeseriessee be 'aka it would."
Bach conduct speaks for itself. We have drawn
attention to the subject solely because we love civil
liberty, as well as religions freedom.
