the gauntlet of defiance to the Holy
Father,sayng plainly that be Dr.. Nulty)
went to Rome, hoping for peace, but at
the same time that he was not a peace-at-
any-price man, That is really what his
words mean, because the veil of submits
mission to authority was too thin to de-
celve anybody. Approaching the great
Importance Of this extraordinary eccle-
sastical manifesto. cabled very con-
prehensive sketch of it, showing that it
would create great interest and excite
ment in religious circles on both sides If
the A lantic. For an irish prelate t. be
so bold as % 90 the very verge Of reb Hon

Nulty makes no secret OF his convection
that the church may be in danger in Ire
land if the authorities of the church VEN
ture tn entertain different views upon the
binding force OF the Decalogue from those
prOiessed by the authors of the No Rent
Manifesto II Ireland had been pretty
stanch u the Papacy down tn the present.
Bishop Nulty warns the Pope that he
