Archbishop Hughes preached a sermon in st.
Patrick's Cathedral, New York, on Sunday last, in
defence of the Civil Administration of the Holy
See. The following was his text: Psalms, chap
ter -, verses l, 2 and 3:
Why do the heather rage, and the people i'm
agine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the
rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and
against his anointed saying.
Let us break their bands assunder, and cast away
their cords from us.
The Archbishop went into lengthy recital of
the rise of the Papacy, and said the time when the
first attack was made on the temporal power of the
Pope was Immediately after the French revolution
of 1879. He commended that the temporal sover-
eighty of the Pope was sequel, and consequence
of his spiritual supremacy and utterly denounced
all attempts to destroy it.
After animadvertng upon the course of the
elder Napoleon, and contendipg that the Pope has
indisputable right to his dominions, he remark
ed: No power has declared war against Plus TX,
and yet two or three of the airest provinces of his
States have been surreptititously taken away from
him, without any public sanction ofhuman govern
men But charge that this has been done under the
connivance, If not the direct approval, of the En-
peror of France and the government of Turin 1t
is said that the subjects of the Pope in those pro-
vinces were discontinued with their government
This may be the fact with few, but not with the
masses OF the people. But, besides, where is the
population that is contented with its government?
Certainly not that of Ireland; certainly not that
of England, where the Charsts af1righted the CITY
OF London, and turned Louis Napoleon and the
Duke OF Wellington into the ranks of sworn con-
stables to defend the city. Take away the impe-
rial pressure that keeps down the thoughts but
still more the speech and writings, of Frenchmen,
and 1t will soon appear that entire contentment is
with the lew, while discomfort, perhaps unreason-
able In itself, will be the sentiment of the many The
Italians of the Roman States, crushed and impov-
erished by the eXtortions of the first and second
lnvaslons OF the French army, may well be sup
posed as repining at the calamities broght upon
them and their consequences If there is, in the
world, people more liable to the temptations of
civil discomfort, it would be difficult to find them-
Hence the success of those who are now, and have
been Tor sixty years, propagandiss of instruction
and revolt.
You are aware the Catholics of this diocese
clergy and laity, including men, women and chill
dren, are invited to subscribe their Names in their
several churches, to an address of sympathy which
shall be forwarded to the Holy Father. No one
who has not flial reverence for the Head of the
Church, and Catholic zeal for her preservation,
even in the temporal ORDER is required to sign this
address. But it is expected that all who do sign it
shall do so under the promptings of their own
Christian and Catholic feelings; and that in no in
stance shall any name be received unless accom-
panied with voluntary contribution, be the same
more or less. l trust the diocese of New York, if
it cannot reach surpass the example of other
dioceses, whether in Europe or America, will at
all events give sufficient evidence of its generous
sympathies with Pope Plus TX, as we'll by the
subscription of names as by the liberality of the
aid which they will convey to the HOLY Father at
this critical moment of his trials and alictions-
An American probate lately returned from Rome |
ntimates that this aid cannotreach the Holy Father
too soon. He has to SUSTAIN as yet, the expenses
of the Papa government, whilst the resources, to
great extent, have been cut off.
1t has even been intimateG that if things 90 on |
as they are now, Tor any prolonged period, the |
Pope will not have the means to supply the wants
of his own household. In the meantime let us not
cease to pray to Almighty God invoking His in |
terpositon in favor of the Church, which, to bu- |
man view, is threatened with unspeakable disast-
ers. We know that whatever may happen to the |
crew, the bark of Peter will survive amid the agi-
tation of the pillows and the fury of the tempest
on the sea of Galee, so now there is one who |
appears to slumber, and it is for His disciples, if
one might dare to use the expression, to awake |
Him and invoke His aid. In the eigh chapter of |
st. Matthew His divine prepotency is recorded in |
these words:-"And behold a great tempest arose |
in the sea, so that the ship covered with waves;
but He was asleep. And his disciples came to him |
and awaked Him, saying, Lord, save us-we |
perish And Jesus saith to them: why are We |
fearful? Oh, We of little faithp Then rising up, |
he commanded the winds and the sea, and there |
came a great calm"
