POPE PIUS TX, AND THE JESUITS.

/
a Cardinal on the 3fd Of April, was born o
the Is of April, 1916, in Arden, nee
BotzeD, in the Austrian TyrOl. The Fran
zelin family lie one of tho chief and mos
highly esteemed in Tyroi, and is connecte
by intermarrisge with the noble an
Cardinal is cousin to the illustrieus Baro
De Paolie, member of the Austro- Hupgar
ian Diet, who lately visited Rome 60 pa
| homage to Plus TX.
Cardinal FrsrEeliD, after completing tn
necessary course of study in the school
ciety of Jesus on the 27tb of July, 1884
being then only lS years. He was received
into the Novitiate at GratE. in Syria ant
from thence removed to Tarnow, in Cali
cha, whore he studied philosophy, ant
where he commenced to teach in the Col
lege Of Mobiles, directed by the jesuit Fa
| theirs. He then went to Rome to study
theology under Father Perrone, whom he
succeeded in his professional chair.
In the Roman College, before it was vic
lently seized by the italian invaders ir
1870, Filter Franzeln earned a world wide
fame. The strength and power of his gen
ius was supplemented by the extent and
profundity of his learning. Hundreds OF
young men, of all nations and languages
who listened to his lectures, admired him
for his vast sttainments and loved him be.
cause of rare amiability of temper.
For many years he was C"nsultor of the
Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, OF
the Propaganda Eide, of Oriental Eccles-
iastical Affairs, and of Extraordinary Ec-
clesiastcal Affairs. He was Pontifical
Theologian at the Vatican Council. The
humility of the new Cardinal is as great as
bis learning. When his intended elevation
to the Purple was fret made known to him
he burst into teare, and nothing but the
absolute command of the Head of the
ind Iii tn Il.
which brought to him apprehension and
dismay instead of qualification. There is
no escape, however, when the Holy Father
demands obedience from ecclesiastics and
Father Franzelin resigned himself reluct
antly to the behests of Plus IX, who wished
by his selection of Father FraDzelin to give
proof of his love and esteem for the So
cety of Jesus. DESIRED" said the Holy
Father, to give testimony of my love
and esteem for the deserving Society of
Jesus, which has done so much good ser
vice to the Church, and is now especially
so much prosecuted by the world, and at
the same time is 30 much priced by the
Catholic EplscOpatT;"
Cardinal Frapzelin's life before his en-
trance into the Sacred College was life of
prayer and study. His new duties will
not altar his habits of contemplation and
severe thought, and although the fruits of
his daily labors can no longer be available
Tor the oral instruction OF classes Df stu
dents, it is to be hoped they will be pre-
served for wider use in printed books.
The stroDg, admirable faith of the late
DR.. Brownson is happily expressed in the
following quotation from the pagea of the
s. Last Series of his Review g. I am not
willing" he says, " that my name should go
down 10 posterity with the slightest sus-
picion resting on it of disloynity to the
Church not, indeed, that l care much for
it on my own personal account, but for the
sake of the Catholic cause, which | hold
dearer than life, and which l would not
have suffer the least detriment through me
or my i'll reputation and also for the sake
of my surviving children to whom l can
leave no inheritance, but that of an unfair
nished name. 1t was almost the last wish
expressed to meby my late wife, whose

faith has never wavered that l am still
an humble but devoted son OF the Church,
and that am, as / always professed to be,
an Incorporating Catholic and
going Papist. These considera-
tons have weig he'd with me and, combined
with the conviction, well or i'll founded,
that have few words to cay. not inap-
propriate to the times--epd which l can
say only in periodical under my control;

hesitation and many misgivings, induced
me to revive the " Review" and to appear
once more before the pnblic in the character
