Gently $50 German artists sent His Holiness an
address, which was presented to him by tue
rector Of Santa Maria del Unma, who was ac-
coinpaned on this occasion by nearly all the
chief members of the German colony in this
city:
On July 3lst visit was made by one of the
doctors attached to the Pharmacy of the Tras-
tevere to q family living in Via San Francisco
Ripa, No. 1S2. lie discovered the mother
and six children in one room. They were
speechless with hunger, and had been thirty
| six hours without food. Every paper in Rome
has published this account of an event hither-
| to unknown in this city, for formerly the poor
| were cared for by the converts, Hnd no one
| needed to go without wholesome meal. This
is one OF the improvements brought bither by
the moralizing bnssurt. No one under Pius IA;
| ever went thirty-six hours without food !!
| There is a great deal of sickness amongst the
soldiers here. Over 400 of them lie ill in one
hospital.
| father Cornoldps sermon ON st. Ignatius'
Day, has produced quite O sensation. The
learned orator preached one of the finest ora
tions ever heard in this city. He first showed
| the character of the mission of this great
saint, and proved that Ignatius Loyola had
received from God the greatest gifts Of faith
and grace. He then proceeded to show how
wise saint Jgnatius was, and how carefully he
had penned his rules adapting them in every
way to the exigepcies of the human family.
He further recalled to the mind of his auditory
| how the Society of Jesus had been constantly
DETAINED, presented, and calumuiated, and
here made q very pointed allusion to that re-
negade, Pontaleone, who, in O recent article
against the Jesuits, had contradicted himself
| in many particulars, and had published the
Bull of Gargauelli, prefacing it by series OF
untruths palpablc even to those who are but
very slightly acquainted with the life Of the
| Pope in question and of the motives which
induced him to suppress the Society. Panta-
leone had underworld to show that the publ
cation of this edict, and its subsequent
revocation by Plus VII, was I'll evident proof
ofthe absurdty of the dogma of Papal Infalii-
bility. But" observed the preacher, this
dogma has nothing whatever to do with the
suppression of an Order, for the publication
and revocation of the brief in question is only
| o variation of the way in which the Popes in
their wisdom found it at times necessary to
act against the sects, besides which, the sup
preston of an Order is cot matter of faith,
but of discipline only. Many orders, once of
great use, would be of little service to-day, so
that it is ridiculous to state that once an Order
is created, it is to last for ever, or else the
Pope will destroy the validity of inf'llibility.'
This passage has been q good deal talked
about by the silly folks who publish papers
here, and whose pretensions on theological
matters far exceed those of the Popes-for
whereas as the latter only claim infallibility
nnder certain restrictions, the former are ever
infallible in all their yews.-Catholic Rerietr q
