see the utter emptiness Of bis efoIts.
Father Quito tries to make It appear
that the translati0D from the Pope OF
Rome, which gave, was an incorrect
rendering Of the Latin. Let me say, be.

Jaisamgue ct, otherwise his English
would have read a- follows : II IL fltse

would be more charitable in me to ascribe
the blunder Father Quito has made to
word being overlooked" aud ! will put
the charitable construction upon it,
though | must say that as Roman
Catholic priests are supposed to be mas
lers Of the Latin language, his writing
might suggest u far worse reason than
ignorance. II may presume to sugges,

caption Of the syllabus he will see very
readily where the negative comes in.
The caption IL Error de Christiano

derstood before all the dellverances; Tor

civil contract can, among Christians
constitute true marriage Again, 1T
In an error to say or tench) that it Is
false that the marrii &c contract among

| Father DItto does not see that this
translation is true, alasl for his exem-
pliGcation OF the reputation of Romish
priests 10 thorough knowledge OF Latin,
| Let me say further, il he does not admit
that ne has grossly Numbered upon the
| Latin translation, he makes n Still more
amazingly stupid blunder Of going back
/ upon his own assertions in this eontro.
vtrsy aud of mailing his Pope u write
! that marriage among Christians IN not
always sacrament. Let the reader
turn to Father Dutto's own piece in the
article of February IL, and read for
himself near the end OF I'D funny
point: "lle meaning myself evident.
" overlooked the 'ialsumque est, other
wise his English would have read rs
follows: n Is false that the mar iage
contract, ETC." To supply the "etc. the
! English would read ut il false that
the marriage contract among Christians
! is always IA sacrament" This makes
the Pope OF Rome deny that marriage is
sacrament among Christians, and
| IL II W WIN NhN luu
damental doctrine of the ROmish
Church which reckons marriage ns one
u the seven sacraments; IL even direct
ty antag0nlses the Arguments of Father
| Quito himself in this controversy, us he
has declared in his zeal to save
the sacrament, 1.-THE accepted opinion OF
Catholic theOloglans is that the contract
ing parties themselves are ministers OF
the sacrament of malrimony" ALL
Father Dutto, Father Quito, into what
damaging inconsistency your love Of
fun" has betrayed you.
Under his 18th funny point Father
Dulto writes
"Dr, Andrews quotes also the cate.
chism of the Council of Trent (Which
was written in Latin) IA follows; but
representing as he does in the dlsch srge
of his sacred functions etc, etc Con.
siderable fun would be extracted from
this translation from the original Latin,
but there is plenty of it besides "
The point intended to be made here is
that inasmuch as Father Quito thinks
he has proved my translation Of Latin
to be unreliable in the quotation from
the syllabus of the Pope, that therefore
this lmy translation from the original
Latin, deserves no consideration. Mer
CHESS Father Duttol you would make
me out AN ignOramus both in English
and Latin. But let me say to you, your
"tun" recoiIs upon you again; you have
proved yourself to be ignorant OF your
own standards OF doctrine. The quo.
tatlOn rom the Council of Trent is not
from the Original Latin" 1t is an ex
act extract from the English on page l0S
Of the "tatechism OF the Council oi Trent
Published by Command OF Pope Plus the
Fifth. Translated into English, by the
Rev. J. Donovan, Professor of Royal
College, MAynooth. Baltimore. Pub

Father Dutto writes, "my own Bishop,
aud every bishop OF the Catholic Church
IN the United States, believe and teach
! that the rite. OF matrimoRy performed
by Methodist Ministers, do constitute
true marriage, aud they forbid their
priests to re marry persons truly married
by Methodist Ministers"
would fain believe this am sorry
: to think that any Church of Carist
=. would do SO un.Christly a thing as to
, bring into contempt the administration
OF other churches. II Father Quito
would say that the Bishops of the Uni
| ted States began this innovation upon
