THE POPE ANDTHE FRENCHGOvERNMENT
inione-FIore


However a]crimoniousIy the opinions Of
the different parties in the Council might
be expressed, we could look upon the
matter as a family question. There Was
q majority and a minority; the latter, as
usual, a little noisy, and inclined, like all
minorities, to make up for want of num-
bers by boldness and obstinacy the majo-
rity rather intolerant and in rather
too great a hurry to come to the vote, IN
order to show the useIessneSs of all the
fine speeches of their opponents. Very
much the same thing occurs in all parlia-
ments; but now a new element enters
somewhat roughly into the matter. The
Holy See has perhaps not reflected on the
fact that with the cessation Of personal
government in France, a chat & must take
place in the policy of the French Govern
ment with regard to the Council. Every
body will now be forced to admit that the
Emperor Napoleon III. favoured, with re-
gard to Rome, the policy which Count
Cavour used to maintain in his speeches.
10 take away the temporal power from
the Pope, and 10 leave him entire spiritual
liberty. If he was not able to give full
effect to that policy, it was on account of
the resistance which he encountered on
the one side in the bigotry of the masses,
and on the other side in the doctrines of
the GalIIcan party which now have sup
porters amongst the most illustrious
French statesmen. But now that the poll
cy of legislative assemblies and parlia-
mentary ministers has been substituted
for the personal policy Of the Emperor,
the Pope finds French influence adverse
to him now that he has lost, beyond
hope of recovery, four-ffths ofhis tempo
raj power, he finds that the French Gov
eminent want TO interfere in the affairs
of the Council.
The French Gallicans, finding them
selves hopelessly outnumbered in the
Council, cried out for assistance, and
France, which has a passion for interven-
tion-a passion from which we do not
deny that we too have derived great adj
vantages,-France did not require a Sc
cond invitation. Count Darius notes and
letters forthwith make their appearance,
and their must cause Plus TX. to think
with regret of the days of personal gov
eminent. Now a great problem arises,
namely, what will the Pope do and what
ought he to do under these circumstances
1t is evidently much easier to answer the
second question than the first. How, in
deed, can one enter into the thoughts of
a man like Plus TX, and discover what

THE GCUMENICAL COUNCIL FROM AN
IrALLAN POINT OF VIEW.

II DlT7H0-FT0rence March IL
If anybody has hitherto entertained a
doubt as to the doctrines and aims of the
Court of Rome and its friends, The deIu-
sion is no longer possible. The Ultra
montana party, inspired and ruled by the
Jesuits, have now thrown the veil off their
tendencies and principles, which, in their
naked deformity, have disguised very ma

to him. The Italian revolutioniSts do not
enter into all these snbllelits they want
to take Rome from the Pope, because
Rome suits them, and they do not know
what to do with The Pope so, in the
midst of their JOY they are still surprised
to find themselves at harmony with NJ.
Ddru, rs to the object, if not as TO the
means Of attaining it. According to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, it is not in
order to aveuge the national honour
sighted and de&piSed by NJ. Raltazzi-
that the French banner floats at Civita
VecChia nor is il in order to maintain
the Convention of September shameIesSIy
violated in 1867, that the French army
occupies the P0urJhcal States but it is
merely IN order that the Pope may de-
clare himself favourable to the GalIican
doctrines, in spite of the Council and the
Holy Spirit. The theory which the French
Government have Just euunciated in such
a strange manner finds. mech favour with
the Italian press. The Opjnjone hastens
to take advautage of it, and to advise the
Holy Father to dismiss the French gar
risoo, to give up the temporal power,
and to come TO terms with the italian
Government. The Ministerial journal
hints, in short, that the Italian Ministers
will rive the Church better terms than
the French Government would do. NJ.
Larz, Will not interfere in support of the
G1IIicans or the Liberal Catholics in the
Council, provided that The Holy Father
will quietly give up al his remaining ter
rltory, and submit to the spoIianon ofthe
clergy. THIS is the humble request that
the Opiaione addresses TO Plus *, but
it has al least The merit of being frank.
That is a merit which M. Daru does not
possess, at AL events. l. is a sad thing
for France, but not for the Church, which
has seen very different dangers and has
braved all kinds of peri :, especially in
Councils. In the midst of all Jhesr trials,
we forrsee "a great triumph for the Church;
it will come forth stronger, more united,
from all these battles, casting out of its
bosom the false brothers and false friends
who will nave been compelled to cast
away their DISCUSSES, and will no longer
be ahIe 10 cause scandal and 10 pervert
the cOuscieUcrs of The faithful.
