new political brochure by Comte Henry Won Arnim
is always event, and his last publication in this
form, entitled ''Quid Faciamus Nos, yields in de-
gree in novelty and interest to the preceding
ones. In his previous pamphlet, la Nonce
Arrive" he confined himself to criticisms on
the policy pursued by M. de Bismarck in the
Kullurkampf. In his last he develops the system
which, according to him. should have been immcdi-
ately applied after the proclamation of the dogma
Papal nfabity in order to regulate the relations of
the Church with the State. This system is presented
at the end of the pamphlet in the form Of proposed
law of which the following the first two DISPOSE
tions:-
Fyrs-The old Roman Catholic Church. in conse-
Quence of the Vatican constitution, Pater Eternus
decrecd by the Pope and accepted by tho Prussian
bishops, has ceased to exist. All the ecclesiastical
estates return to the State.
Second-The State recognizes the Church governed
by the Roman bishop as new religious society,
founded q fresh juridcal basis. 1t insures to it
the nsufit and administration of the estates and ap-
preparations furnished by the State and which the
old Church enjoyed.
In other words. Comte Won Arnim thinks that by
putting legal end to tho old Church and coming mt
once rupture with Rome the independence of the
prcacy will be secured and the true interests
of religion subscrved 1 need not tell you that this
pamphlet is raising storm among the ultramontane
orrans.
