Truth and Error.


 Truth and Error.
 If the Catholic church fell into error 1t must once have had the truth, said Father Younan. Then if 1t had the truth, who gave it the truth? Christ was It's founder Then if the church was Christs and 1t fell into error, Christ said what was not true and as Christ was God he was not untrue. It was impossible for Him to have been false Reasoning on that line. Father Younan. by easy syl- logisms, reache dthe conclusion that the church did not, could not fall into error. He said branches did fall into error, did become rotten; but the church was al- ways standing strong and sound, teach ing truth and not error. Father Tounan discussed the Inquisition at length. He explained the civil side of the institution, and said that Spain and Spanish politics and not Rome, Ferdinand and Isabella, and not the Pope, were to blame for the cruelty and bloodshed, although the bloodshed was greatly exaggerated. He showed how the Pope stayed tie execu- tion of over 400 people in Spain who had been condemned by the Inquistion. Much of the cruelty charged to the 1pquisitoIi reminded the priest of the conditions here in the south Lynchings took place. The law of Alabama did not permit lynchings Yet lynchings most brutal were repor ted from time to time.
 At one time heresy was punishable by death because such was the law of the land. Laws of that sort no longer exist. Some Protestants were afraid that Romes growing strength in the United States would mean that non-Catholics would be slashed and burned. Father Younan laughed at this idea. 'All that Rome does with heresy today Is to con- demn and excommunicate those who teach it. said the father.
 Touching predestination, Father Younan went over the grounds of the various schools of thought and exegesis and in- were lost because they rejected God s mercy and the Holy Spirit. He concluded with an eloquent dissertation on God s loving kindness and long suffering, but warned Catholics not to presume on the Lords mercy.
 Father Younan said he would answer questions about indu1gences, papa1 infal- libility, the primacy of Peter and other questions that might be In the box to- morrow night. He said his conscience could never accuse him of saying a single harsh thing about non-Catholics. and that all inquirers would be treated with l the utmost respect:
