an Italian sovereign, and cared more about spirit

advice of the Council Cardinals, abolished the

to the Roman Catholic Church, as the Kings Of
Spain, Of Portugal, Louis XIV, Of France, and even
toundless bigotry, expelled the Reverend Father
Jesuiss from ali their territories
Now, as those principles which humbly plead
are the princpes of national freedom and national
sovereignty, they are of course opposed to every
one whe would like to rule the world, whereas
wish that every people shall rule itself thought to
find in this circumstance the key to that passionate
persecution which meet But here IN ST. Louis
got hold OF circumstance which makes the matter
quite clear.
hold in my hand the printed catalogue of the
Society of Jesus in the province of Missouri they
term your State. Herein / see that among the
thirty I'VE members officiating in the College OF the
Father Jesuis In st Louis, there are not less than
eight Reverend Father Jesuits imported from Aus
tria. And you see why am SO prosecuted here: this
plain fact tells the story OF big book.
But among all that the reverend gentlemen OPP
pose to me, there are only two considerations to
which the honor of my cause and of my nation
forces me to answer in q few remarks.
They charge against me that my cause il hostile
to the Roman Catholic Religion, and to got BY Ibis
snc no viii hal fov
the support Of Russo-AustIian despotism, they
charge me that am no friend to Ireland IL there
would be in this suggestion the slightest shadow of
truth, l would avOw 1t highly and openly. am
msn enough not to abase myself to hypocrisy. But
as that IL not the case declare before God and this
sssembage here, and declare IL with open and ele.
waited brow, that both these charges are vile CAL
AS to the Catholic Religion, am indeed Pro.
tesant, rot only by birth, but also by conviction;
and warmly penetrated by this conviction, would
delight to see this conviction shared by the whole
world. But before all, l am MORALLY opposed TO
intOlersnlism and to sectarianlsm. consider re.
lisiOn to be matter OF conscience, which every
man has to arrange between God and himself. And
therefore respect the religious conviction of every
man. claim religious liberty for myself and my
nation. and must OF course respect IN Others that
hight claim for myself. There 10 nothing In the
world capable to rouse greater indignation In my
heart than religious oppression, sectaIianism and
intolerance. But particularly respect the Catholic
religion as the religion OF some seven millions Of

And rs to the cause OF my country, which more
particularly plead, dare boldly say-al the Jesuits
OF the world ana OF all times together have not
ehoussndth part 50 much right to say that they are
faithful representatives Of the Catholic religion, ~
the Catholics OF Hungary have the right to say It.
While the Father Jesuts INDUCED quietly in the
comfort OF their wealth and plotted ambitious views
about how to rule the world, the Roman Catholics
OF Hungary. people bishops and priests took up the
SWORD, and sacrlhced willingly life and blood and
property for their religion II Is Hungary which
transformed into Mosque like st. Sophia in Con.
stsntinople.
Therefore can boldly say that the cause, which
!s the cause Of the Roman Catholic population Of
Hungary, has, by this very fact, higher authority,
that II 10 not hostile to the true Interests OF the Ro
man Catholic religion. than the opposite opinion OF
all the Reverend Father Jesuits could outweigh.
