il sesGls Foa are vary much down on the
Pope. II YOUR paper Of Tuesday morning, in the
against hial and his policy" as, likely, you would
call il According to your cen, the Pope has said
and done Ilu' wToag- Buy after all, may we
know what hss ne sid and what has he
said wIsL gigllEy should mol the Pope say with
oar Lord: ''lt 1 nEve sP7 ken EVIL give testimony
OF the eyl!; but il wei, why str keith thou me?
John xviii, o. Now, az inr as ksow, the Pope
has said again and again that the Irish cause is
rigat, and that Eng and has not treated Ireland
nSuon which boasts in such high civilization.
Way then, dies the world now blame
Of US al, the good cause aud the right cad d
the Irish people does not justify them n using
ite. Ii the Pope had said the Irish have night 70
20 by violence, the world would have accused
MIN Of me ne false and imputed nsxin AZ The end
'crum6iing cTeeds. s.'"sff 9 man quietly aud
why why must that be called .'fuiminsting5 sung
Then, sirs, you are ILLUMINATING" every day. Inc
centuries Centuries ago it was said to be crumb-
ling. Luther said positively aud propheticaiy;
but to-day the Catholic creed has not lost sing
ago. A good many other things, indeed,
have crumbled and tumbled. What
own designs" may the Pope, have,
principles, which never will pass away, even il
heaven and earth pass away. I he whole history
shows in many instances that the Pope and the
Catholic Church will rather sustain ANY loss than
lose d letter of the deposit OF her faith. The
Pope does not join tue cause OF Law and order de
fined by Protestant sovereignty any further than
what's ust and night according TO eternal maxims
II you lmpute to him opportune policy for
regulating his conduct in the Irish matters
you simply SANDER him He does not oppose the
faithful" Insh, but the ''unIaithful'' dynRm-
iteIs. The faithful Irish Land LeagueIs Fenians,
etc nave in the latter ihcred over 81 coo,
coo for the drawing of an imaginary sword that
never was dTawG.h 1t SCENE they have kept IL
tsithfully-those few who were faithful in agi-
atng collecting and promising TO liberate Ireland
Ii the lAborers here in America agitate in alRwlul
way for just wages, every good American approves
of 1t. But ii they commence TO not as they have
done in some cases, must not every peace
able citizen condemn it? 1t the city
of Elizabeth, N. 81, has more debt than
at present able TO pay, it is like mauy other
cities far and near like many business houses,
uncountable everywhere but there is a great
difference IN what way debt is contracted, and
how willing and honest and earnest person is to
pay. Ishould suppose that you must have learned
that il was false statement when you wrote
that the Fathers Augustnians specuIated in rail
road stocks etc. But have not noticed auyth ing
like retraction. Why does man change his bal
ances? CATHOLIC AMERICAN (Adopted).
P. S.-The Catholic Church and the Pope have
never been hostile 10 republican governments Fol
them in the heart Of Italy, almost in the bosom
Rome. One of the many great Catholic authors
St. Thomas Aquin.s (born l226l, argues that unde
favorable circumstances government, as he de
scribes 1t NEST like ours, would be the best of all
THE government is perfect in a city or in
people where one alone presides over all, accord
ing to virtue; when he has great men under hin
who share mis- authority, according to virtue; and
longs 10 all, either because all may elect or be
cause all may be elected" Thus written anC
taught by q most-eminent Catholic over COO yean
ago. lsunma TheoL, l, 2, 9, l0o A. II
