A RELIGIOUS SENSATION IN ENG
LAND.-A sensation in the religious
world-the conservation of the Ro-
man Catholic Cardinal, as Arch
bishop of Westminster, Cardinal
Wiseman's successor )-elicits vari-
Gus comments from the London jour
nails. The Mormimg Post Ia Gov
ernment organ) thinks:
That any one should be consecra-
ted at all to such a See is significant
of an amount of liberation and for
bearance such as Roman Catholics
enjoy nowhere else in the world
There is not country in Europe,
Romish or Protestant, where the
Pope would be suffered to nominate
an archbishop without the consent
of the Government. In France or
Spain it would not be tolerated. In
America, where there is no law to
the contrary, bishop Or archbishop
may hold a See, call himself after IFS
fitle, and exercise his liberty as he
pleases. But even American tolera-
ton does not permit breaches of the
law. English forbearance goes far
beyond American, for it suffers its
own Ecclesiastical Titles Act to be
virtually broken with great pomp
and ceremony, and makes no sign of
concern and displeasure. The con-
secretion of DIR. Manning was NOR
ally violation of that Act, and ex-
pressed the contempt which Roman
lists of the modern school have for the
laws of the land when they interfere
in any way with the progress of the
Roman Church.
49,
The appointment of an Archbishop
Of Westminster is an aggression. He
is altogether unnecessary to the fair
enjoyment by Roman Catholics of
the utmost stretch of religious lib
erty; but he is necessary to the
scheme of aggression and conversion
by which the Roman Church hopes
eventually to supersede and supplant
the Church of England. Truly, the
present generation of Romanists in
England have fallen upon prosperous
times. They build, they endow,
they propagate their principles, and
extend their agency to their hearts
content, and no one says them nay.
The late Archbishop Wiseman
was by descent half Irish and half |
Spanish, and he was born Roman
Catholic. But Archbishop Manning
is English born. He was once an |
English Churchman, a son of Ok
ford, an archdeacon, a popular
preacher, the head of considerable |
following, the centre Of a wide circle
of admiriug friends. His present
position is, therefore, a greater tri-
umph to his Church than to himself.
1t was not small thing to have won
him at all. 1t is far greater to
have raised him to the highest posi-
ton which a Roman Catholic prelate
can fill in England; and that it
should be so, is, indeed, significant
of improved times for our Popish
friends. There can be no doubt that
the selection of DIR. Manning was de-
termined upon from the known zeal
with which he had laid himself out
TO win over influential persons in the.
Established Church. He has always
had a long train of admiring ladies
Mt his heels, and over them his infu-
ence is something remarkable. I'll
the history OF many ladies of rank
who have Joined the Church of Rome
within the last few years could be
told, it would be seen that almost
every one of them has been more or
less under the winning pastorate of
DIR. Manning. T@s
