| L. D. himself tries to perform 3 lik
kind Office for Paul III. He tells ns tha
Paul was married but no such 4efens
was ever set up for him BY his friends a
his day. nor could he ever heve though
of that dodge himself. He was nevs
married. Ranke, the historian, VII,
speaks in favorable terms Of him il gen
eral. admits his licentiousness, and say
that /" be acknowledged q con ant
daughter. both Legitimate but no grea
ofense vas taken at such affairs ii tha
day, and they were not suffered to i'm
pede his fortunes. We thus find him q
Cardinal while very young" The bad
morals Of the. Church dignitaries and the
prevalent immortality, is confirmed by
Father Reeve, Catholic historian whose
work was commended to the faithful and
the public by Archbishop Hughes,
amongst others. He says:
"Simony and incontinence bad struck deep root
| among the Clergy. The evil began under those
unworthy Popes who 50 shamefaIly disgraced the
Tiara by their immoral conduct in the tenth CEN
tury; the scandal spread and had now continued So
long that the inferior Clergy pleaded custom for
their irregularities Many even of the Bishops
were equally unfaithful to their vows and with
greater guilt. Hence the corrupt laity being un-
der no apprehensions of reproof from men as
deeply immersed in vice as they gave free scope to
their passions"
Paul made that bastard SON . Duke,
and appointed two grandsons Cardinals,
the highest rank in the Church and State,
at the early ages of twelve and fourteen
years respectively.
1t was this Paul III who issued bull
organizing the Order of Jesuits, whose
Fundamental obligation is unconditional
obedience and unlimited submission to
the Pope. And the principles and prac-
tiees of this Order, who now rule the
Catholic world, are worthy of the Pope
who instituted it. This order, BY its
immortality, intrigue and licentiousn ness,
excited the hostility Of Catholic Europe,
and during the las. century most Of the
Governments of Europe expelled them
from their dominions. The Parliament of
Catholic France had the subject before it
in I762, and we make the following ex-
tract from the decision +:
''The Court has ordained, that the passages ex-
tracted from the books of one hundred and forty
seven, Jesuit authors, having been verified, col
lected copy shall be presented to his Majesty that
he may be made acquainted with the wickedness
of the doctrine constantly held by the Jesuiis,
from the institution of their society to the pres
ent moment together with the appreciation of their
Theologians, the permission of Superiors and Gen
erals and the praise of other members Of said soei
ety-a doctrine authorizing robbery lying, per-
jury, impurity-all passions and all crimes; incuf
eating homicide, parricide and regicde, overturn-
ing religion in order to substitute in her stead su-
perstition; and thereby sanctionpg magic bias
phemy, irrehgion and idolatry. And his Majesty
shall be most hurnbly entreated TO consider what
results from instructions so pernicious"
Such is the testimony of Catholics as to
the principles, civil and moral, of the or.
der of the Jesuits, who are now the sup.
porters and advocates of the Pope's Tenn
poral, as well as Spiritual Supremacy, in
our own as we'll as every other land. The
Revelations made, excited the indignation
of the people and ehe Sovereigns Of Europe
to such pitch that Pope Clement was
constrained to suppress the Order in l773;
but it was re-established again in 1874
and is now fourishing by virtue of the
same practices " hich caused its suppress
sion, concealed more carefully from public
view. With what face then, can Jesuit,
or the advocate Of Jesuits, insist upon the
suppression Of q = demoralixing principles
Of Mormanism, by lawg
L. d. admits the Pope's exercise of
temporal power ih the cases Of John, King
Of England and Henry, Emperor of Ger
many, and justides it on the ground that
they were bad men and bad rulers. Sup.
pose they we're, what business has the
Pope with thats If he has the right to
the exercise of Temporal power in the
deposition of bad Rulers, he has the right
to decide who are bad, as he did decide
in times past in the case of Queen Eliza
beth of England and scores Of others, and
20 be would now decide in case Of Eman-
uel Of Italy, and as he might hereafter de.
eide in the case Of some President Of the
United States. L. D. admits the whole
ground when be admits single csss Of
interference 10 temporal affairs by th.
Pope, on whatever pretsnoe.
