CIRCULAR LETTER PROM THE POPE TO
THE IRISH PRELATES,
ON TIN SUBJECT OF BIBLE SCHOOLS.

(TRANSLATION.)

" Rome, Court of the Sacred Congregation for the Propa
gation of the Faith, September 18, 1619.

" MY Loan—The prediction of Ors Loan Jesus Coaist, in
the Parable of the Sower, that ' sowed good seed in his field
but, while people slept, his enemy came, and sowed tate, upon
the wheat'—Mat. xvi. 24, is, to the very great injury, indeed, of
the Catholic Faith, seen verified in these our own days, par-
ticularly in Ireland. For information has reached the ears of
the Sacred* Congregation, that Bible Schools, supported by the
funds of the Catholics, have been established in almost every
Part of Ireland, in which, under the pretence of charity, the in..
experienced of both sexes, but particularly peasants and paupers,
are allured by the blandishments, and even gifts of the Masters, I
aid infected with the fatal poison of depraved doctrines. It is
further stated, that the Directors of these Schools are, generally
speaking, Methodists, who introduce Bibles, translated into Eng-
lish by the Bible Society, aid abounding in errors ; with the
sole view of seducing the youth, and -entirely eradicating from
their minds the truths of the Orthodox faith.
" Under these circumstance*, your Lordship already per_
ceives with what solicitude and attention pastors are bound to
watch and carefully protect their flock from the snares of
wolves, who came in the clothing of sheep.' If the pastors
sleep, the enemy will quickly creep in by stealth, and sow the
tares ; soon will the tares be seen growing among the wheat,
and choak it.

" Every possible exertion must, therefore, be made to keep the
youth away from these destructive schools; to warn parents
against suffering their children, on any account whatever, to be
led into err or. But, for the purpose of escaping the snares' of
the adversaries, no plan seems more appropriate than that •E`
establishing Schools, wherein salutary instructions may be im-
parted to paupers, and illiterate country persons.
" In the name, then, of the bowels (of the mercy) of OUR LORD
Sues CLIKIST, we exhort and be seech your Lordship to guard
your flock with diligence, and all due discretion from those who
are i■ the habit of thrusting themselves insidiously into the fold of
CHRIST, in order thereby to lead the unwary sheep astray : and
mindful Qf the forewarning of Peter the Apostle, given in these
words, viz.—' There shall also be lyltig masters among you,
who shall bring in sects of Perdition, l'et. ii. 8. Do you
la-
b our with all yo•ir might, to keep the orthodoX youth from being
corrupted by them—an object which will, I hope, be easily ef-
fected by the establishing of Catholic Schools throughout your
Diocese. And, confidently trusting, that in a matter of such vast
importance, your Lordship will, with unbounded zeal, endea-
vour to prevent the wheat from being choaked by the tares, I
pray the all-good and omnipotent GOD to guard and preserve
you safe many xears.—Your Lordship's most obedient humble
servant, " F. CARDINAL FONTANA, Prefect.
" C. M. PEDICINI, Secretary."
