UNHAPPY lrALY-soRRow PArRRNAL AsD PATRIOTIC
We are not astonished that those whom error

have the audaclty 10 30 ms, out tnat in tins I'M

what we depofe win sorrow from the bottom Of
our heart. It IS nom these Vaccinations that have

have unIastly injured the rights, the liberty, the
! interests and ministers OF the Church. We
have long been the spectators o. il. aud we
| THE CORRUPTION or YOUTH
Thence is dally poured lorth and extended that
| evil, unquestlonanly The most serious and as
suredy the most fatal, to large number o.
souls ami 70 human society, namely, the corrup-
ton OF youth. WHEREBY ~ IS sought 10 propagate
tie existing evils even among future generations.
All institutions IN Tact, serving for the education
OF youth IN this centre or the Catholic world have
been withdrawn from the vigilance or the Churcn.
Tue young are strictly forced rom The early age,
! wnen the seeds OF virtue or vice strike such deep
root TO attend schools submitted 10 the civil au-
tnorlty where their mnds aud hearts,
without any regard Tor faitn and re-
ngion, are instructed according TO the
preceps aud wisdom OF TINS age, the bitter
| fruits OF which the whole world Is how reapng.
Tne cducatlon even OF those VINO have been
called Into toe Lord's army Is also obsruc ed by so
many arbitrarily imposed rules as TO studies tnat
IL becomes every day more dlfiicut Tor them to
pursue that career, and this is why there are so
lew especially since the iatal law on military SER

ECCLESIASTICAL REBELLION ENCOURAGED.
But what shows st more plainly the design OF
our enemies are certain documents recently pub
hshed, III winch encouragement is given TO the
priests ana Inferior clergy VINO resist ana rebel
against their bishops anu otner superlors. Hope
is neld our 10 them o. assistance ana support
against the sentences and DEGREES wnicn the
episcopal authority may Issue against them.
What shall We say more Even the preaching OF
The Word OF God and tue publication OF our utter
ances meet with tue hostile acts OF the pubic au-
thority Hence, penal laws are announced against

laws. SUCH threats certainly show Dlt TOO

lude the iaitniu, appeared 10 protect our liberty
| and dignity, and IL proves more ana more how
| necessary 10 us Is that supreme ana full power,
pleasure OF ANYBODY which Divine Piov-
idence has conferred on me Roman pontlrs
| IN order tnat they may exercise their spiritual
liberty the entire word.
Meanwhile tnat threat tends to stine the very
voice OF the Supreme Master OF truth and prevent
tt from extending Itsel aiar ofI-tnat voice which

mon good VI society IN the Whole world, and can
not be circumscrioed Of impeded WI hout the
rights OF all the faithful being also violated.
THE PROSECUTORS OF THE CHURCH INCUR HEAVY
Let those who submit the church TO so great
a slavery remember that they provoke against
themselves severity Of the Judgment OF God,
as mucn narsner and Jokes OF :, ranny as much

preparing new causes OF division and trouble IN
The cOnsc.en even OF the iaitnIul. Recently, In

His Church wisely ordered that the very cour-
