Church of Rome, and established a
royal instead of papal supremacy, be
cause the Pope, to whom Henry had
appealed as to his ecclesiastical superior,
denied the application for divorce.
What the Rev. Mr.. Ingle says about
the Church of England is scarcely rel
evant. There was o. Church OF Eng
land before Henry's apostacy, but IL Is
not the Church of England which Or
iginated under him and has endured,
with a slight interruption, ever since.
The essential characteristic OF the
Church of England founded by Angus
tine in the sixth century, was the ac-
Acknowledgement of the supremacy OF the
Bishop of Rome; and so 1T wasas much
then an integral part of the Catholic
Church as is the Church of France, or
of Italy, or of Spain today. 1t derived
it's power and its authority from the
centre of Catholic unity.
The same word may be employed
through defect of language, to denote
different things; the Church OF Eng
land for at least ten centuries before
Henry's divorce meant the Catholic
Church in England in union with the
Church of Rome, admitting her supre-
macy, teaching her doctrines and us
ing her sacraments; since Henry's fall
ing away with but brief interval,
as have said), the Church of England
means a Church in England which de-
MES the papal supremacy; ana TINS
Church came into existence through
the action of Henry the Eighth In
process of time sacraments, too, were
rejected. doctrines were denied, the
liturgy was changed, but it seems per-
fectly correct to say that the Church
4 q &c, m nrGfnnn
men, originated with the Illustration OF
Henry's desire for second ana unholy
marriage.
The other points in Mr.. Ingle's let
ter have no bearing upon the question.
Is it no. an eXaggeration to say that
Augustine found the Church in Eng
land completely organized? Who or
ganized it? Have we not the testimony
of Bede that the British King Luclus
asked and obtained missionaries from
Pope Elentherius? AT any rate, that
Church which was found so complete
ly organized Ivy Augustine was not the
Church oil England, and has never
been so called, because Eugland-the
land of the Angles-did not then exist.
1t had no connection with the church
to which Henry belonged; the Church
of England from Augustine to Gran
mer was a church in union with Rome
and subject to the authority of the Bish-
op of Rome. 1t never was in any
way connected with the British
Church established under King Lu-
cius; so it is absurd to say that the
Church of England, even the Roman
Catholic Church of England, which
existed before the time of Henry the
Eighth, is continuation of the old
British Church; it was an offshot from
Rome.
The Church of England of to-day has
no Apostolic ministry, she has some
Catholic creeds, of course, she has not
the sacrameuts and the sacrifice which
she had even under Henry the Eighth
and for ten centuries previously; she
has no primitive Liturgy; and the
Holy Scriptures she has because she
received them from the Catholic
Church.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

In reply to Rev. Mr.. Ingle's COM
munication of Tuesday, FIR. Rourke
had the appended article in print on
Friday:
am glad to see that the Rev. Mr..
Ingle endorses my denial of the divorce
said to be granted by the Pope to Mr..
Keefe, somewhere in Canada; but the
Reverend gentleman questions the fur

"Had it been within the power of the

ing parties, for any reason saving the
death of one of the parties, Henry the
Eighth's rupture with Rome, and con-
sequently the existence of the Church of
Engiatd, had never been fact of his
tory"
To this Mr.. Ingle replies, that the
Church of England is mentioned in
Magma Charta, three hundred years be
fore Henry the Eighth; aud that when
Augustine landed on the shores of Kent
In 597 A. D., he found the church fully
organized in England. Therefore, he
concludes, Henry the Eighth did not
bring the Church of England into ex-
istence.

Church and by Henry the Eighth, un-
til he became smitten by the charms

the Pope when tortured by religious

an historical fact that because this was
denied by the Holy See Henry broke
off with Rome and established himself

the block those who refused to admit
his supremacy?

pastor of All Saints Episcopal Church,
and John FL. ,O'ROurke, rector OF the
Novitiate, of this city, on the question
of the foundation of the Church of
England. The matter begun on Satur-
day, February 22nd, when the follow
ing article appeared in one of the Fred
erick papers, signed by FIR. O'Rourke
THE POPE AND DIVORCE.
NV attention has been called to a
telegram from Halifax in the Associat-
ed Press dispatches OF Thursday. 1t is
stated that a decree of divorce approx
ed by Pope Leo KILL has been granted
John Keefe, separating him from bis
wife on the ground of infidelity on the
part of the woman. The decree per-
mits re-marriage.
Allow ne to state that there must be
some mistake in the telegram. 1t is
within the power of no Pope to allow
re-marriage for any cause whatever,
save that of the death of one of the
parents-for what God has joined to-
gether let no man put asunder-so that
in the present case either the marriage
was found to be invalid, or the whole
telegram is fabrication.
Had it been within the power of the
Holy See to grant permission to re-
marry during the lifetime of the con-
tracing parties, for any reason save
that of the death of one of the parties,
Henry the Eighth's rupture with
Rome, and consequently the existence
of the Church of England, had never
been fact of history.
Sincerely yours,

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.


On the Tuesday following appeared
this from the pen OF Rev. Mr.. Ingle:
In your issue of Saturday appears a
communication from the Rev. Rector
of the Novitiate in this city, with ref
erence to newspaper item, which
stated that the Pope had granted a di-
vorce with permission to re-marry to
some one in Canada. He expresses
the conviction that the statement is
untrue. Few persons, / imagine, have
believed it was correct.
The Rector, however, concludes with
the following words, which | conceive
to be open to criticism on more
grounds than one:
Had it been within the power of
the Holy See to grant permission to re-
marry during the lifetime of the con-
that of the death of one of the parties,
Henry the Eighth's rupture With
Rome, and consequently the existence
of the Church of England, had never
been a fact of history" In Magma
Charta occurs words, of which the fol-
lowing is a translation:
THAT the Church of England shall
be free, and hold her rights entire and
her liberties inviolate." This charter.
as is well known, was drawn up by Ste
phen Langton, an Archbishop of Can
terhury, recently elected by the Pope's
designation, and was presented to
King John for his signature by the
Archbishop, many of his clergy and
the English barons in the year A. d.
1915. This was three hundred years
before the reign of Henry the Eighth.
Could the English Church, then, have
come into existence through the action
of Henry the Eighth?
The church, completely organized,
was found in England when Angus
tine came there Oh his mission from
Rome in 597. And she has continued
in unbroken succession to this day,
with her apostolic ministry, her Cath
olic creeds, her two Sacraments, ner
primitive Liturgy and the Holy
Scriptures. After hard struggle of
more than sixty years she fell under
the dominion of the Bishop of Rome.
Henry the Eighth contributed much
towards her liberation from papaI do
minion. But he did not bring the
Church of England into existence.
