There are two ur three historical topics CO,
stantly dwet upon by unfair and intemperat4
assailants of the Church. The Inquisition ana
the imaginary horrors of Monastic life, Tie
iaZiness, the proflgacy, the brutality of tie
Monks of old, are on all occasions parade
forth as unanswerabe and conclusive fac.
sufficient in themselves to s:uk the claims Of
the Catholic Church below TIE level of Coz,
troversy. So far as doctrinal controversy zoe.
every intelligent Catholic, at this day is all.
to show up the folfies of piebald, incons!s,
ent, fanatical Professionalism, which lives on-
by msstatins~ Catholic doctrine. This trick G.
the enemy is so thoroughly understood, thong,
nowadays, that our worthy opponents hay,
gotten pretty much afraid of that field, al.
entrench themselves upon another. Instead O.
relying upon lying statements of doctrine, the
deal largely in lying statements of historical
events. And in this maneuvre they are pref,
safe, because Catholics, as q general thing
like other people, read very little history. L.
the present phase of the war of lies against tie
truth, however, Catholics ought to consider i,
duty to inform themselves upon those point.
when the principal misrepresentation are he.
ing made. In this great work of Moatae..
bert, they will find all the information neces.
sary for that purpose, on the subjects of Nor.
astic institutions and their history. Besides
being perfectly reliable, the work is extremely
interesting; indeed, one of the master pieces
of modern literature.
