IRE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN SrA1N-The
lZeftlel Press in Spain.-La Tradicionale of
Faitaca, in very feeling article, laments
,tne death of the clergymen who have fallen
victims to the epidemic in Barcelona,
-xhereupoo the blaguard and inf1deI Press
tries TO throw ridicule upon these devoted
men and says that the members of the mu-
-aicipaiity are of the two more deserving
~saf praise aud iamentation. The former
are bound to minister to the people under
t-Sheir charge, while the latter are not COM
szselled 10 do so. A specious sort of argu-
s5neut particularly when we remember that
xdie D;ario de Bdrceiond published the
vZcugnes of the memhers of the Corporation
,svlio, for the good of their fellow citizens,
e8ed the city, fearing that they would
lie the next victims. However, nothing is
Sufficiently vile or cmlumniating for the
ssariuisters of Goa's Holy Church. The
Mass is only fit for uututorcd, half-savage
c1slinds; men of culture aud science are
above such absuriity in the nineteenth
century" This is the teaching OF such
Journals as the Centre Popular, Ell Vigia de
-5G Libortad, and La Iserolation, the off
spring of nonstrusity. In another page
'sSeese gentlemen OF the pavement want
to know how it is that the defenders of the
T;emporal Power do not all step to the
Sroot and face the army of the valiant
King of Italy" and scatter them before the
winds.
La Republica, of Jerez, is the name of a
INV 1DuUel Journal. ltS uTSI AeftucL Ou w
rtober q, is an attack on the Catholic
Church, holding up to ridicule the sacred
and adorable name of our Redeemer. 1t is
really painful to have to translate these
zabomirable articles, but we consider it a
SEuty we owe to our religion to put Catho-
Tics, not so much in this country as in Spain
aud the Spanish West Indies, on their
guard against the internal teaching of
ti1ese periodicals. There lis an exceedingly
good little paper published in the town of
Juarez called La BranderG CatOlicd, and in
a recent article the editor impressed upon
dis readers that, unless they gave them
-selves up for the cause of Gods holy
.Church, evil days would soon follow, and
canjuring them to invoke the holy and
sacred name of Jesus in all their trials and
Mary and Joseph be every moment on
your lips" La Republica is maddened at
such folly being perpetrated, and screams
q aloud" What belief! what imagination!
WHO ever heard of such mendacity! 1t is
sEisgusting to have such names mentioned.
WHO believes in themR Old men and old
vsso n,en, and not many of them"
