THE PAPAL SOVEREIGNTY.

The Minneapolis Journal, in an ar
ticle entitled ireland on the Pope"
says ut is remarkable that such n pro.
fessedly modern prelate rs Archbishop
Ireland should appear as champion
of n policy repudiated by a progressive
age" because, forsooth, he advocates
the independence of the Pontiff from
the interference of civil rulers and
predicts that "the Italian people and
Christendom ut large will give back to
the papacy its wonted dignity and lib
erty."
Our esteemed contemporary thinks
that the Pope now enjoys all the free
dom necessary for the exercise of his
spiritual functions and that Rome is
destined to remain the capital of the
Italian nation, because it is histori-
cally and additionally the seat of king
ly and imperial power" and because
"no other locality could be taken for
such purpose"
And pray, why not? Was not Milan
once the capital Of Italy, and why
can't it be the capital again? Who
has made Rome the magnificent city
it is-the Popes or the kings and EN-.
perors? "Were it not for the Roman
Pontiffs," says DR.. Moynihan in the
current number of the Catholic
World. Rome would have shared the
fate of Memphis and Babylon: it
would be naneless and shapeless
heap of ruins in a wilderness swept by
pestilence." For over q thousand

What It l. to Be a Catholic.

The following definition of the duties
and beauties of Catholicity may be
studied with advantage by all who
profess that ennobling faith. In an
eloquent discourse delivered by Father
Herman of Cincinnati, at the annual
convention of the Catholic knights of
Ohio, he asks and eloquently answers
the question, "What is it to be a Cath
olic?" Our readers may we'll ask them
selves this pertinent question, and then
answer by ascertaining whether their
own lives measure up to the standard
of the ideal Catholic, as described by
Father Tiernan, as follows:
"Now, ask, what is it to be a Cath.
Ollie? Go read the answer in the lives
of the men and women who for 1900
years have trod the ways of heroic
virtue in the footsteps of the Crucified.
Go study it in the calm and peaceful
heroism of the early Christian martyr,
who laughed at the threats Of tyrants,
and prayed for his enemies as his life
went out beneath the horrors of the
fortunes which he bore with joy rather
than betray his God. Seek it up and
down the ages, in every rank and sta
ton, from the monarch on the throne
to the peasant in the field. Seek it
in the hearts of natures noble men
and women, where it shines with a
beauty and a lustre all it's own and
elevates their hearts above the ties
Of kindred and Of country, even to the
Eternal God Himself-the center of
the source of true Catholicity. Seek
it and find it in the supernatural lives
of men and women living to-day, llv-
ing not alone in clustered solitude, not
alone at the foot of Gods altar in
constant alteration, not alone in priest
~ robes, but even in the busy world
Of noise and wild distraction, in the
marts of trade and in domestic cares,
where the lots of most of you are cast.
What is it to be Catholic? 1t is to
rest secure in the possession of eternal
truth, in the certainty of being right,
in the priceless privilege of not being
blown about by every wind of doc
trine. 1t is to live with the sunshine
OF divine hope warming the human
soul. To be Catholic is to love God
above all things and your neighbor as
yourself. 1t is to live in disposition,
at least of the highest charity; char
ity that stops not at mere theory, not
4 mere speculation or profession. but
that works itself out in acting-high,
noble, God-like acting. This it is to
he Catholic. Faith, hope and char
ity. these are as faculties of his soul
to a Catholic.

Richard Harding Davis, the intrep.
id war correspondent, is being severely
criticized by the London papers for ex-
posing the misconduct of imprisoned
British officers in Pretoria. The Brit.
ish officials in South Africa induced
"a representative body of women of
various nationalities, resident at Pre-
toria throughout the war; to repudl-
ate Mr.. Davis charges in the London
Times. The letter signed by those w-o-
men is just as authentic as the petit
ton addressed to the queen by the
Outlanders at johannesburg before the
war. 1t only shows that the British
are sensitive to the criticism of an i'll
dependent American journalist who is
not afraid to tell the truth.
