most intimate friendtOf LacOrdaire, M0ntalembert
and the other leaders of the Liberal school but who
now believe h due to his episcopal dignity to
counsel submission. Father Hyacinthes position
is as yet too little defined to enable Us
TO know to what extent he will openly
be supported number Of prominent men in France
have issued declarations fully decided IN their
opposition to the Ultramontane system az the letter
of Father Hyacinthe though none of them can bear
comparison to the stirring effect which the letter OF
Hyacnthe hos produced. Yet the list of his syfnpa
timers includes at least one Bishop and the name of
man like Count Montaembert certainly weighs as
, much as several Bishops. In Germany there Is
widely-spread organization which more than sup
ports the views of Hyaenthe. How far these isolated
elements can be made to cooperate and make stand
against the imminent growth of Ultramontanism,
the future must show.
