'rhe recent Papal Encyclical to the f'rCs-
sian Bishops.has elected violent comments
from the German press. The papers urge
the German Roman Catholics To leave the
Church. 1t is stated that in case the Bull
is published by the Bishops, all Catholic
officials, priests, and school teachers Will be
dismissed from their positions, II they iail
to pledge themselves to obey the laws OF the
State. Measures will also be taken, it is re
ported. to obtain a declaration from the
Bishol as to whether they accept the teach
ings Of the last Eneyclical. The Roman
Catholic members of the Prussian Chamber
of Deputies have published the following
protest against the Encyclical d" We deny
most decidedly that the clerico- political laws
of the German Empire and the PruSSlan
State overthrow completely the divine con-
stitution Of the Church, and we protest most
solemnly-frst, against the principles pro-
nounced in the Papal edict, which endan-
ger all the authority, constitution, ana eX-
lstence of the State, and especially against
the assumed right of the Pope to declare in-
valid laws of the State which have been
brought about in a constitutional manner.
On the contrary, we are convinced that the
doctrine of the Catholic Church expressly
commands every Catholic to recognize the
laws of the State, brought about in a con
stitutional manner, as iully valid and bind
ing, and to pay obedience to them. hlle,
therefore, clearly explaining our position
with regard to the Papal Encyelical OF the
jth of February, 1875, and acknowledging
without reserve the competence of the State
for the promulgation of the clericO-politieal
laws and their constitutional efficacy, we re-
quest all patriotic Catholics who hoid the
same opinions to assent TO this, our protest,
in order to exclude community with all
those Catholics who believe the encroach-
menr Of the Papal Curia on the domain OF
the y wei of the State to be Justiied.-Ber-
lin, Feb. IS, 1875" Fourteen other depu-
ties have since given in ther signatures 10
this document. Ecclesiastical legislation
occupies the entire attention OF the Prus-
sian Diet. The Government has introduced
bill withdrawing the Safe endowments to
the Catholic clergy.
