The Catholic Church and Frequent
Councils.

The Catholic Church and Frequent
Councils.
Our erudite correspondent, "a Roman
Prelate," cables that he has mailed us full
refutation Of the charges Of plagiarism first
advanced in the World and subsequently
gloated over in some Catholic publications
with what, in all kindness, we may term
mistaken zeal. They should see that
it is q little dangerous to let the
impression go abroad that any discussion of
papal polity which is not servile laudation
OF all things done must be the work Of an
enemy. They do their Church's cause no
good in decrying by paltry means an argu-
ment that, in any case, deserves serious at
tention, and is advanced by an exalted son
Of the same Church in an evident spirit Of
love.
The question of reforms by frequ ent
councils is treated in the letter we publish
to-day. With the reinforcement of author
tiles our correspondent pleads for the fire.
quent councils which the Council Of Con-
stance called for. With great pertinence
he asks, What good results must have
flowed from ecumenical councils had
they been assembled regularly ever
since, in compliance with that decree
The truth is Interchangeable. but mems
views Of truth stated in dogma are liable
to be erroneous, and how better could the
truth be from time to time made clear to
all children Of the Church than by the
great body which forms the Ecumenical
Council? Again, the discipline and custom
Of one age cannot in all things be
the discipline OF every age after The
fall of the temporal power of the
popes, for instance, is fact. The
choosing Of an Italian for Supreme Pontifl
and the filling Of the Sacred College with
cardinals of the same nationality in the
ratio of eight or nine out of ten has NO
longer the same show Of reasonable cxpedi-
ency as when the Pope, chosen from the
cardinals was also an Italian king. II,
too, modern society has been drifting
away from the papacy who will
not say that decennial councils OF the
bishops of the Church might have lcssened
the gap? Left to the direction OF o coterie
with grievances the Church has seemed
more and more as a sour grumbler, and has
allowed itself to be placed in the false light
of foe Of progress, when its actual
relations to progress throughout the
world have been anything but inimical
No one will aver that the doctrines OF the
Church would be less safe under rfgin,
that provided for frequent councils, while
many of the troubles that beset it would bt
obviated. The concluding letter Of the
series will examine, among other things
the reforms which may be effected in tn,
manner Of electing the Pope.

which Anderson was SO eager to obtain In
the autumn OF 1877 was the Sherman letter
1t was SO trivial thing that it HAD quite
passed out Of her mind Although grave
Congressman, when they heard the
rumor Of its existence, thought it impor-
tant enough to call tor all this hubbub
OF investigation, she, the author OF the
document, could not imagine how Ander-
son, to whom it was addressed, and who be-
lieved it genuine, could feel any interest in
recovering possession of it Nobody could
believe this pretence, even If it were not
contradicted by evidence but it is fatty
contradicted by Mrs. jerks herself She
swore that it was not till January, 1878,
that she suspected that what Anderson was
"Alpha and the Omega" and then she
was confronted with letter to Mrs.
Weber, written by herself, October
TO- 1877, asking her to search among
her deceased husbands papers for
that very letter, which she described as a
docum ent of great importance to Mr.. Ander-
son and her husband. She did not describe
it as written by Mr.. Sherman, but she fully
identified it by saying lit was addressed
to Anderson and to d. A. Weber" 1t was
the very letter about which Anderson
was taking such persistent trouble, and
which he had offered her husband thou
sand dollars to procure. When confronted
with this letter, which so fatty contra
dcted her testimony, and some other let
tiers which were equally awkward for her,
this miracle Of feminine assurance coolly
said to General Butler, Don't you think
that is rather breach Of confidence in CIV
ing those letters out?'
We do not doubt that Mrs. jerks is equal
to the trick Of fabricating the letter which
has caused all this fuss and turmoil, but
we mistake the character Of this intriguing
woman if it was done rs mere practical
joke or done without accomplices. Her cx-
animation is to be continued to-day, and
although Mr.. Sherman seems pretty well
out Of the scrape the public wishes a fuller
history Of what was done in "parlor p" on
that memorable morning in the presence OF
SO many visiting statesmen.
