Fallible or Infallible2

The great question before the
Ecumenical Council at Rome seems
to be this--Is the Pope, like the
Almighty, incapable of error or is
he liable 10 mistakes, as were the
saints and other men "after Gods
own heart" who lived before him +?
II is said that nearly all the Ro-
man Catholic ptelstes from this
country now taking part in the pro-
ceilings Of the Council are in "a
cvor Of the dogma of inlallibility.--
II SO, they do not faithfully reflect
the opinions entertained by the
Catholic laity of America, not one
in fifty of whom believes that the
Holy Father is endowed with that
i. grand attribute Of the Diety. A.
merican and Irish Catholics admit
that the Pontiff, being a man, must
necessarily be. fallible. The doe
trine that be cannot err is rather too
strong pill to be svallosed in a
land Of newspapers and common
schools. It is not recognised gen.
orally even in the little principality
over which Pic Mono reighs as q
temporal sovereign by virtue Of the
compuIsive power Of foreign bayo-
nets.

~ The Fifteenth Amend

~ The Fifteenth Amend
ment has introduced many new
elements into the arena of politics.
For instance an american citi-
zen of African descent" has been
elected district clerk of Corsicana,
Texas, known simply as "John."
He has no other name, and does
not remember that he ever had
any. All he knows is that be is
o niger, a loyal Republican, and
that he was elected, He cannot
read or write, and a contemporary
says that ga bottle Of castor oil
would make just as good an Off
GER" We rather give the prefer
ence to the castor oil.
