RNING STAR AND CATHOLIC n
Dr. MISUNDERSTANDING.
The Voce Catholics says that the Arch
bishop of Munich called upon DIR. Doninger
shortly after his return to his diocese, to
beg of him to submit to the definition of the
Council. His reply was
Let them do with me what they please
let them burn me as q hereto on the PIE,
if they will: will not change my opinion,
but will believe and teach as ! have always
done for forty years." No: there is no de-
sire to burn DR.. Dollinger for being
hereto nowadays, he may be quite sure.
The Church deals differently with those
| who revolt against her authority. But II
we are to believe the words of Mgr. Won
Ketteler it is less than forty years ago
since DR.. Dollinger believed and tanght
very different doctrine to that which he
holds now. If the speech reported by the
Voce Cattolica be correct, we give the Fro
article of last January, in which he re-
buked the Council and set up his own In
fallibility against that of the Church but
it must be admitted that he is in hagrant
!, contradiction with his former self. am
with DR.. Dollinger," so writes the learned
] Bishop of Mayence, "whose teachings in
former days filled his disciples with love
and enthusiasm for the Church and the
Holy See but have nothing in common
with the Dollinger whom the me enemies ESQ., 81
! with praises" This unhappy man In last
3 January set up his own infallibility against
: that of the Church.
