will find the facts in Michaad's history Of

Most readers" says the erudlte Liu.

have very confused and incorrect notions
of the jurisdiction which the Pope by vir

The very calumny used by Mr.. Mann,
vas put forth in England, during the agi-
tation of Catholic Emancipation, sixty
yesrs ago. At the instance of Mr.. Pitt,
and the Rev. Sydney Smith, queries were
propoumded to the faculty of the Univer
sites of Salamanca. Bologna, Paris, Alca-
la, Louyaine, Douay, and St. Omers, the
courts of las, resort, for the settlement of
all questions of Catholic law, or morals:
involving the very charge of the Rev Mr..
Mann. See Hansara's Debates, Feby 25,
1918. The answer was an indignant, and
unanimous negative, as to any such alle-
glance being due to the Pope, or claimed
by him outside of his own States. Hence
the Catholic Church never renounced "the
statements Of the Tablet" for the reason
tAat she never taught or upheld them.
Will the Rev. gentleman make the amende
b honorable? One word at parting. If
tenth part of the zeal, and labor, wasted in
polemical attacks bv one sect, against
,no.her, or BY the many religious denomi-
ions, against the Catholic Church were
Ised to lift up, reform, and win to the
Ways Of religion, the myriads belonging to
very denomination, who have

aothers faith. 1t is too late in the day.
