The Popes and Herald Communicate.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The communication OF ~. T. NJ, Jr., +" published in
last Sundays HERALD reply to mine OF a for
mer date, compels me, very reluctantly, to give 1t
more than passing notice. He says :-"Commenc-
Ing with burst Of indignation at what conceive
to be the absurdity OF certain assertions made by
Father Burke" "launch out into very learned
disquisltion on the subject OF ecumencal coun
cs" This Is entirely erroneous. simply referred to
the late Ecumenical Council; but how reference to
council is very learned disquisltion upon
ellis" is problem in logic which Intelligent cor
respondents like ~. T. NJ Jr.,n alone can solve. But
this Is not all. He proceeds to say:-"But barely
finish my sentences before 1t becomes apparent to
all intelligent readers that my idea OF the
Catholic Church ecumencal council
or dogma OF faith Is exceedingly vague
and dublous.n II my ideas OF these subjects
are "vague and dubious it must be because OF my
ignorance concerning them and have yet to learn
that ignorance and learning are synonymous terms.
Again he says:-"I make the wonderful statement
that as the Church soemnly decided in the late
Council question which, for a time, she had per-
mtted few to deny in theory only, she has changed
her doctrine and is longer infable." ! deny
making any such statement. What did say was that
''prevous TO the late Ecumenical Council 1t was OPP
tona for the Catholic to believe in the fallbity or
infability OF the Pope; but since then the teach
ings OF the Church have been changed that he
dare not reject the dogma upon pain OF excOmmu-
nication." And notwithstanding the fact that dur
ing the pontincate OF the present Pope two dogmas
have been added-viz.: that OF the immaculate con-
cepton and that OF the personal infallibty OF the
Pope-your correspondent ~ I. NJ, Jr fails TO per-
ceye any change i'll her doctrines or her teachings,

Christ and brings forward an extract m support OF
his assertion. However, 20 convince him that he
