1G The Pope has had the opinions of the
dignitaries of the Church about the dogma of
the immaculate Conception published. We
see that Cardinal DiepenbToch, Archbishop Of
Breslau, and many German Bishops, dissehted
from the views of the majority. Archbishop
Sibour of Paris belongs likewise to the non
contents but all the southern and western
Bishops recommended the enunciation of the
new dogma. Not one Of Che Irish, Italian,
Spanish or Irish-American Bishops is found
among The non-contents. They formed an
overwhelming majority against the protest Of
some few German and French Bishops.
