lu0 huoNcy tvut SMUT cAtiActS hohi Dfo"A
sons Review, are sufficient TO show his opin-
ions of the doctrine Of the temporal power Of
the Pope" His work is full Of similar argu-
ments, and wo could fill ever page OF our paper,
with arguments and facts cited from Brown
sons Review, to sustain tho claim of the Pope
to unlimited temporal power
But, we have a still further and more au-
thentic piece of evidence on this subject to
which we invite attention. Through the kind
ness of a friend, we have procured copy Of
all the important parts Of AN ALLocUrIoS Of
Pope Plus the TX, IN the secret Concistory Of
September, 1852 as published in the CATHOLIC
Mirror, at Baltimore, November ~, 1862.
We trust that every man, woman, and child,
in the United States, viii read the extracts
which we quote below, from said "ALLocUTIoS
OF THE PoPE," in 1862, addressed to the Re-
public Of New Grenada, South America, which
Republic had enacted the laws to which the
Pope refers, and which he dcnounces and de-
clares "null and cold.
The Pope after demanding that several laws
enacted by the civil authorities Of that Repub-
lie should be abrogated, proceeds as follows:
| eve vehemently lamented the deplorable con
diton in which the Church was placed. Nor did
we omit in the same letters (thcretofore written to
N. Granada) among other things strongly to remon-
strate against those two projects of law, in particu
lar, by one Of which it was proposed, scithout the
least consulting the apostolic See tithes should be
abolished and by the other, that enigraats to that
country might have The public erercise Of their soor-
ship, whatever IL ivas. And disappearing of the
aforementioned DEGREES, we again and again IN
sisted, that they shomld neuer be ratified, and that
the church should enjoy all! her rights and full lib.
| erty BY that
law is confirmed the expulsion Of tia religious
order of the Society Of Jesus, and by the same
law it Is forbidden to institute in the republic Of
New Granada any society mainly formed by the tie
! Of passive obediencs as they call it,"
sMoreoyef by the same law, aid is promised to
all those who wish to abandon the purpose of re-
ligious life they have commenced aud break their
solemn VOWS. Next law was enacted by which
the ecclesiastical court is altogether abolished and
it is declared that all causes pertaining to the said
court, and even the causes Of the archbishop and
bishops whether civil or criminal, to be judged
in future, before the lay tribunals by the magis-
trates of the said Repubic Nor must we pass
in silence, that by the new constitution of that
Republic enacted in those recent times among other
things the right of free education Is defended, and
liberty of all kinds is given unto all, so that each
person may even print and publish his thoughts,
and all kinds of monstrons portents Of opinions,
ard profess privately and p.61ioaly Yaateper ''or
lit was proposed, according to the already con-
demned errors Of the heretics and against the doc
trne of the Catholic Church, that marriage should
be esteemed merely as civil contract, and that
all matrimonial causes should be referred to the
lay tribunals and be judged by them.
Amongst the faithful, marriage cannot DO given
without there being at one and the same time q
sacrament, and consequently, any other union
whatever of man and woman among Christians,
made in virtue of what civil laws soever is nothing
else but a shameful and miserable concubinage, so
often condemned by the Church"
After the above shower of premises opin-
IONS and sentiments, the Pope launches forth
the following thunder and lightning, to wit:
1--WE DIsAPPRovE or ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH
HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE RULERS OF THAT REPUBLIC,
AGAINST RELIGION, THE CHURCH, AND HER LAWS,
PASTORS AND MINISTER'S, AND AGAINST THE RIGHTS
AND AUTHORITY OF THIS CHAIR OF BLESSED PETER.
WE, RAISING WITH APOSTOLIC LIBERTY, OUR
PASTORAL VOICE, IN THIS YOUR MOST ILLUsTRIoUs
ASSEMBLY, DO cENsuRE CONDEMN, AND DECLARE
| UTTERLY NULL AND VOID, ALL THE AFORESAID DE-
| cRKEs WHICH HAVE, 80 MUCH TO THE CONTEMPT or
ECCLESIASTICAL AtTHoRIrY OF THIS HOLY SEE, AND
| TO THE LOSS AND DETRIMEHT OF RELIGION, AND or
THE HOLY PRELArEs, BEEN THERE ENACTED BY THE
/ Civil POWER"
Thus then, in 1852, and upon this, the
American Continent has the present Pope
Plus the Ninth, attempted to exercise tempo
raj power" and to set aside the proceedings
of the Congress and people of the Republic of
New Granada
We shall reserve for tomorrow, some COM
ments upon the anti-D emocratic-anti-Rc pub-
lican, and anti Christian notions, promulgated
in the above "Allocution of his Holiness,
