Another Prospective Religious
Reformation.

An eminent German thcolog;an. DR..
Doilingrr. has been cxconl;nunicalcsl
from a. Roman Catholic t'hurt Il !orcoi :
testing the decree OF the late Ecuincmical
Council on the subject OF the Forc's
inialiibili,y. In his memorial 10 The
Archbishop OF Munich, the Doctor pro-
ics.eS to be still Il good Catholic. and To
he acting in the Interests Of the Roman
Church. lie attacks the decree of Papal
infallibili!y brcal,sc, as lie says, il con-
tradicis Scripture, the opinions Of The
fathers, and the traditions. and is. besides
opposed 10 the civil constitution of hi.
country. lie demands an opportunity
iEg meeting Of German Bishops in
Fultla.
The Archbishop replies in circular
letter 10 the faithful of his diocese. in
which he states that ii is HOW TOO late
for any good Catholic TO dispute the
decree in questions. Whatever argument
there was to make was made in the
Council! at " hich it was adopted. and
its opponents having been heard and,
oycr-rulcd there, thuy must. hcnce:ortl,.
remain silent. ii they cannot acq,,icscc
f. in heart. 1t is like person going TO
Ia" when the court Of tho highest ap-
peal has pronounced its decision against
him, lie lla~ no further remedy left. TO
open the subject anew before the Ger
/ man Bishops would Lc useless waste Of
time.
II is hardly conceivable That DR.. Dol
lingcr expected the Archbishop 10 10
Otherwise than lie has done. or that his
memorial was not intended to provoke
the accommodation lie has since sui
scrcd. II this be so. he must also have
prepared himself for further measures
Of resistance TO the decree. and the
Catholic church in Germany may room
witness a schism not unlike that which
sci tina! country in bazc under Martin
Luther. and which extended Itself into
various parts OF Europe, and the inilu-
encc Of which is still manifest in every
