LONDON, Nov IA, 1874.
The controversy between Mr.. Gladstone and
Archbishop Manning, respecting civil allegi-
snce, has created profound impression
among all classes.
Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet is entitled ''The
Vatican DEGREES" It's
A POLITICAL ExPosTULATIoN,
formally challenging English Roman Catho-
lies to demonstrate, if possible, how the obe-
dience now required by the Pope can be
reconciled with the integrity of their civil
allegiance.
RoMAN1z1NG THE ENGLISH CHURCH.
It refers to his previous question, pro-
pounded in his article on "Ritualism and
Ritual in the Contemporary Revie,o whether q
handful of the clergy are or are not engaged in
an utterly hopeless and visionary effort to Ro-
manize the Church and people of England.
In his magazine article Mr.. Gladstone doubted
any time since the bloody reign Of Mary, add
ing that if 1t had been possible in the seven-
teenth or eighteenth centuries it would still
have become impossible in the nineteenth,
Ehen
ROME has SUBSTITUTED
for the proud boast of senper eadem a policy
Of violence and change Of faith when she has
REFURBIsHED AND pARADED
anew every rusty tool she was fondly thought
to have disused when no one can become her
convert
WITHOUT RENoUNC1NG
his moral and mental freedom, and placing
bis civil loyalty and duty at the mercy Of
another; and when she has equally repudi-
sted modern thought and ancient history.
MIR. GLADSTONE RE1TERArEs THESE VIEWS.
Mr.. Gladstone reiterates these views in his
pamphlet, and, while withdrawing nothing
from the main attack, says that undoubtedly
these allegations are OF great breadth. The
pamphlet centres upon the proposition that
40 one can become convert to Rome without
,enouncing his moral and mental freedom
md placing his civil loyalty and duty at the
mercy of another. Mr.. Gladstone then pro-
ceeds to
EXPOSE THE sUBTERFUGEs
by which Catholics endeavor to lessen the
stringency of the claim which, he further in
sists, Rome has set up by the Vatican decrees
this point he is very explicit declaring that
the Vatican Council established even wider
claim than infallibility-namely, claim Of
absolute and entire obedience.
THE pAPAL NET
Thus, Mr.. Gladstone says, the Papal net
sweeps multitude of facts, including whole
systems of government in all parts Of the
world, including even the United States,
where the severance of Church and State was
supposed to be complete. A long catalogue
might be drawn of subjects showing the COM
petence of State domain undeniably affecting
the Church, while in Europe the circle is
still wider.
Mr.. GLADsToNE's CALL UPON CATHOLICS.
He therefore calls upon Catholic citizens
either to demonstrate that the powers claimed
by the Pope and adherence to the Catholic
communion cannot impair civil allegiance, or
else, when such claim is made, to repel and
reject it, like the late Bishop Doyle, of
Kildare and Leighlin, who answered this
question by the declaration that he would use
nil the means in his power to oppose inter-
msddling. In his argument to the people the
