The Irish Church Debate in the English Parliament

The Morning Post June 25 believes that of the several
solutions which have from time time been offered there
but the time practical and calculated satisfy
the Irish people, The is the abolition of the Church
Establishment and the application of the voluntary system
to all ceeds the country the other the continued
maintenance of the Established Church in Ireland but with
partition of its with the Roman Catholic Church.
The former plan Objectionable account of the precedent
would for the abolition of the Church Establishment
in England and may therefore be discarded The latter is
that which has universally found favor with those who have
hitherto devised schemes for the solution of this difficulty
The Morning Herald June 20 argues that the Irish Church
depends upon ancient endowments, which much the
property of this Church the income of English lord
squire be said be his No peasant is taxed
landlord is mucted for this endowment One cannot conceive
what satisfaction could give Roman Catholic shmen
handful of hardworked priests out of their
and deprive them of stpends which barely keep soul and
body together Such proceeding would be ungenerous
well we and the Herald persuaded that the majority
of Irishmen would refuse their consent to it.
Continuing its arguments for the endowment of the Irish
Catholic Church. the Times June 26) points out however,
that be the usual conditions for loyalty and order
The Church of England and the established Church of Scot
land both submit good many restraints upon their re
gous enthusiasm and political zeal Neither of these esab
lishments riot, appeal to vulgar anaticism and
threaten the legislature. There plenty of aspiring souls
in them who would if they could but they 1t not
be expected that the Church of the Irish people is to be
equally endowed and less undor security for its good behavior
