REPLY TO PAPAL SYLLABUS
Ask that "IndiyiduaIity and Unfet-
tered Research BE Esteemed"
Press Divided Into Two Camps
Over the Movement Started by Ro-
man Catholic Students Union.

London, Aug. 24-The feelings and
opinions Of those educated Roman Cath
oliCs in Germany who are interesting
themselves in the movement which is
directed in the first place against the In
dex Expurgatorius are given in two let
ters, published In the Frankfurter Zei-
tung. These are both written by Roman
Catholics who. it is asserted, are thor
oughly acquainted with the views prevail
ing among their educated coreligionists.
It is even intimated that they are mem
beTs of the clergy in high standing.
According TO these letters the excite
ment aroused by the Schell-C CONNER af-
fair is spreading and increasing. The
Roman Catholic press is divided into two
camps, one which disapproves the atti-
tude Of the Pope and which contents it
self with recording the course of events.
and the other, the large camp. which is
entirely on the side of the Pope. The
great mass OF the people are not inter
eSted In the matter, and do not under
stand it. The adheTenJs Of ScheH and
the signatories of the appeal for funds

chiefly members of Roman Catholic
students unions, and they have been
Joined by many so-called Reform Cath
olics
The excitement referred 10 above has
been aggravated by the emission by the
Pope Of a new syllabus, in which all re-
form movements are condemned. It is
believed that the only outcome Of this ex-
citement viii be the drawing up of a me-
mortal ad Papam mellus informandum.
in which the monument committee will
point out the mistaken premises on which
the Papal letter was written
The two letters in the Frankfurter Zei-
tung say there is no danger Of a split
among the adherents of the Roman Cath
Ole Church, but reference is made to the
circumstance that the participants in the
movement have received in the high
schools and universities an education
whose essential elements are utterly op-
posed to the spirit of Ultramontane Cath
olicism. They recognize above all. saws
one of the letters. the principle that in
dividual and unfettered research shall be
esteemed Such disregard Of their per-
sonality and of their freedom as is
represented by the Index is simply in
sufferable to them. They are rather in
the relationship of their church 10 mod
ern culture and education"
This movement among the rising gem
Grafton Of Roman Catholic scholars seems
to correspond with the phase of thought
which is emptying the Protestant churches
Of worshipers and producing a lack Of
orthodox Protestant clergy.

end to the activity Of the Macedonian
