to accept the situation and trudge along
with the rest of us, taking things as they
come, cnioyiug their liberty, and are re-
garded by us as citizens same Is Pre-
testauts. and in no sense dislOyal. But
some. the majority We think, OF these
Eishop, and priests and editors have an
object ahead, and are working it tor all
there Il in it. Our reasons for thinking so,
are that some of them like our good
bishop Of Wheeling,' have naughty
tongues. which lets the cat out now and
then" As mark the following: Pope
Plus IN. in his encyclical letter OF August
10. l-54, said the absurd and erroneous
doctrines or rawlings IN defense OF
liberty OF conscience are a most
~pestitential error. \ pest Of all
others most to be dreaded i'll a state.
Says Bishop O'CounOr: Religious liberty
is merely endured until the opposite can
be carried into effect without peril to the
Catholic world" The Catbojc Rerirr
saws: Professionalism Of every form has not
and never can have any right where Cath
olicity is triumphant. The Boston Pttot
says: mo good Government can exist
without religion, and there can be no re
ligion without an inquisition. The st.
| Louis SheDherd Of the IaLcy says: The
Catholic who SAYS the Church is not in
/ tolerant bellies the sacred spouse of Christ.
Every Cardinal, Archbishop and
Bishop in the Catholic Church takes an
oath of allegiance to the Pope in which Oc-
cur the following words; "Heritics, schisma-
tics and rebels to our said Lord lthe Pope
or his aforesaid successors, l will to my
utmost persecute and oppose" Plus IN,
| December :, 1861, denounced liberty OF
speech and liberty of the press as the
liberty of p5rdition. Again on the public
schools he says, Public schools open to
| all children for the education of the yOung
should be under the control of the
Romish Church, and should not be
subject to the civil power now
made TO conform 10 the age" See
Our Country by Josiah Strong, "Perils
of Romanism, " chap. ). Now, Mr.. Bishop,
acknowledging all you claim for Carroll
and others, and thanking God for them,
but 10 pray tell Us, what is the meaning
of these quotations? And their number
can be greatly increased. Come, Bishop,
let IL see You "hurl the lie back into the
teeth OF the vile slandorer.'
Again the Bishop said very %pompously
that he attached very little Importance to
my knowledge of the doctrines Of the Cath
Ole church, but thought | could not be so
stOlidly ignorant as to imagine that there
is any truth in the oft repeated calumnly
that Catholics render allegiance TO
the Pope in any except spirit
ual matters. Now we'll see. Cardinal
McCloskey SAYS they the Catholics Of the
United States are as strongly devoted to
the s~usteuance and maintenance Of the
temporal power OF the Holy Father as
Catholics in any part Of the world, and If
10 should be necessary to prove It by acts
they are ready TO do so. See Our Country, "
p. -. No marvel the Bishop cries
enough and wants to getaway from this
poverty stricken Ignorant" big
oteG, =" marrow minded, ~ 'detmor' and
liar" o, dear, II the real presence
.yorpoTeall has anything to do with pro
during such a nest OF yipera - that, then,
to Use MS own language with reference to
my viewso t liberty, from "transsubstaDtl-
alton good Lord deliver us.
But the Eishcp Is calling upon the Bap-
fists to suppress me. The Baptists have
had absolutely nothing to do with this dis
cussiOn. / alone have written every aTti-
Gle, and | close them, if | most, with not
a faint OF unkiud feeling toward any
Catholic under the sun. But the state
mcnts | have quoted above from leading
Catholic officials are alarming And yet the
great body OF Catholics are not responsible
for them and for their publication here.
The rashnoss of Bishop Kain alone is re-
spOnsible, and ii they want it stopped,
then suppress him. | hope he has found
out n thing, at least, that there are some
men who wont be ''bulldozed' and in
Inundated by him, uor any other
But we generally close Our meetings with
q sony, and the quotations above, and the
spirit uf the Bishop in his last answer,
specillly suggest the following, entitled.
