The religion and humanity of Roman
ism are marvellous. Some of its beauties;
as set forth byits own organs, will be found
below. Read, and sec how you like them.
For our own part, we take this opportu-
nifty of explaining our hearty delight at the
downfall of the Protestant chapel in Rome.
This may be thought intolerant, but when,
We ask, did we ever profess to be tolerant
Of professionalism, or to favor the doctrine
that Professionalism ought to be tolerated?
On the contrary, we hate Protestantism--
detest it with our whole heart and soul.
and we pray our aversion to it may never
decrease. We hold it meet that in the
Eternal City no worship repugnant to God
should be tolerated, and we are sincerely
glad that the enemies of the truth are no
longer allowed to meet together in the cap
itol Of the Christian world. Pittsburgh
Catholic, 1913.
No good government can exist withou,
religion; and there can be no religion with
out an Inq@isitiOa, which is wisely design
ed for the promotion and protection of the
true faith.-Boston Pilot.
You ask if he (the Pope) wore lord Of
the land, and you were in the minority, if
not in numbers, yet in power, what would
he do to you? That, we say, would en-
tirely depend upon circumstances If it
would benefit the cause of Catholicism,
he would tolerate you if expedient, he
would imprison you, Danish you, possibly
he might even hang you; but be assured
of one thing, he would never tolerate you
for the sake of your Hglorious principles
of civil and religious liberty.-Ram5ler.
Professionalism of every form has not, and
never can have any rights where Catholic
ity is triumphant.-Brsnson's Quarterly
Review.
Let us dare to assert the truth in the
face of the lying world, and, instead of
pleading for the Church at the bar of the
State, summon the State itself to plead at
the bar of the Church, its divinely consti-
tuted judge.-B.
lnever think of publishing anything in
regard to the Church without submitting
the articles to the bishop for inspection,
approval and endorsement
declare my most unequivocal subElis-
sion to the head of the Church, and to the
hierarchy, in his different orders. If the
bishops make declaration on this bill, l
| never would be heard speaking against it,
but would submit at once unequivocally, to
the decision. They have only to decide,
7 and they also close my mouth: they have
only to determine, and obey. Iwish it
to be understood that such is the duty
4 of Catholics. .-Daniel O Connel, lS4S.
Heresy and unbelicf are crimes, and in
c Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain,
for instance where all the people are Cath
/ olics, and where the Catholic religion is an
/ essential part of the law Of the land, they
are punished as other crimes. n. G. Arch
bishop Of st. Louis.
&c A hereto, examined and convicted by
d the church, used to be delivered over to
J the secular power, andpunished with death.
lie Nothing has ever appeared to us more ne

I'd Wicklife; still greater number for that

:, self, what regret, / frankly confess, is
III that they did not burn John Huss soone
W and that they did not also burn Luther

crusade against the Protestant. Rari
