Gladstone and Archbishop Manning.
New York, Nov ia Herald cable
special Gays the controversy between Gladstone
and Archbishop Manning ex:ltes profound 10
terest. Gladstone has issued pamphlet en-
titled, "The Vatican DEGREES, which centre
on proposition that obedience To the Pope Is
incompatible with civil allegiance 1t declares
no one cau become convert to kono without
rcnouucing moral and mental freedom, aud
placing civil loyalty and duty at the mercy OF
another The Vatican claims more than H.
falibiity: It demands absolute aLI entire OOe-
dience. Gladstone warus Engshuen to mar
shall themselves against these pernlcouS as
sumplions, aud calls upon Catholics to prove
them harmless or reject them.
Archbishop MannlDg, IN a letter Of Nov. 10
asserts that be assisted iu framing the Vail
can Decrees which have not changed one jot
or title the obligations Ut civil obedience that
Catholics bear towards the civil power aud in
proof thereof asserts that the dJc.riDe OF lu-
tallibility was divine trust before the ' ltlcau
council was held; that the council ANNOUNCED
no new dogma, but simply declared al old
truth that the position of Catholics, IN respect
to civil allegiance, is precisely as before; that
the civil powers of the Christian world hlther-
to stood 10 peaceful relatians with the lutalllOe
church, and this relation was often recognized
and declared 10 councils Of the Church before
the Vatican council, and that council made no
DEGREES in regard TO the civil powers, nor on
civil allegiance, this subj ct Dclug uescr even
proposed.
The Archbishop says civil obedience rests on
natural law; revealed trnth Is the law OF GJd.
Society is founded in nature, aud subjects are
bound 10 all things which are lawful to obey
their rulers. MIR. Gadstoaes argument hangs
upon erroneous assumption, aud | can only sup
pose him TO have been misled by displaced trust
10 Dr. Dollinger and his friends. But for my
| belief 10 Gladstone's slucetlty | should say 1t
was an act otlujustlce out vi harmony with the
great statesman life, aud unless the pruylHcc
of God and the good sense VI EnSilshme avert
its evil consequences may tsruisA his great
