These principles were first published in the

and. afterwards, when thef had been veheuentls
attacked arti criticised by all the leading news
papers in Europe, they were emphat1cally reter-

THE CONSEQUENCES.
What were tue practical consequences OF these
doctrines? We can look back upon the last two
years and find tina. the fruits aers rotten -
the seeds which produced them. Religious in
| tolerance, which had been overawed aud almost
auhihilated By tho glorious victories achieved
against the common enemy, again raised its
blood mined banner, and wLere, a few short
months ago, there had been one common feeling
! Of national pride and brotherly love- hatred and
religions faoasicism again divided the people,
10 a@Sr1vatc this distressing aud uAogerous
conditions Of things the dogma Of intal1ibiity
was practically carried out to its logical eonse-
| 4uences. Now desire to admit right here, that
~ heretics, We have nothing whatever to do with
the religious side Of this doctrine II any neigh

tive OF his Church is in purely religious matters
! as infa1ljb1e a. the God of Christendom. be is
entitled to his conviction, and HoulI be the last
! man to dispute with him. There are 80 mauy
inconceiyable things taken for tEuth in this
world, that it makes lltt!e practical difference
what addition ia made to the sum Of Orthodox
faith. But it is the political tendency aud effect
Of this dogma against which cvery friend OF
| progress has au innate ught aad is in duty
bound to take the field
The Church claiEns that the doctrine Of infalii-
bi!itv menus nothing moro thnn that the Popc
ia infalible in all matters within hs Jurisdiction
a. T4~y {G1+.n L..
jurisdiction extends only to religion and morals
the dogma can not posaihly epcroach upon the
rights Of tho State The question arises, What is
iucluded in tho term morala a. defined by
tho Church Of Roma? Gutys compendium Of
moral theology, q textbook which has been in
troduced by the Josuits inso all the Catholic
| schools and universities OF Germany Italy,
F-anee, and Austria. defines this dominion Of the
Church over the field Of morals in tho following
explicit manner: It embraces, says Curry,
l. All the acts Of men. 2. Conscience. 3. The
laws, justice and its administration property. tho
acquiring of properly, use Of the same, gifts,
loans, pledges and interest, bills and exchange,
purchase and sale leases, contracts, ETC., etc.
short thero is not slngle human act, duty,
transaction, contract, agreement, promise, or
any other human law, which. according to Gu1r'a
moral theology, does not fall directly within the
Popas Jurisdiction, and which is not subject to
! his infallible and final Judgment snd decree. II
the State has Jurisdiction At ALL it is only cou-
curTeut. aaG it's decisions only OF force pro-
vlded they accord with the inlalLble decreca OF
the Pope.
