H]ibernians, are fed up on the glories
of the Ireland known as Hibernia and
contemplating kicking out the English
language and English culture and re-
storing the imaginary learning and
literature of the Gaelic language. All
faith to- the old green sod and langu-
age of their illiterate f~orefathers,
whose name is Griffith will change it to
be spelled Griobhtha. If your name
be Collins, you will spell it Sileain.
If it be Duffy, it must be spelled
Dhubhthaigh.
Pope Abrams Title Deed
There are Irishmen in America who
dream of glorious conditions of the
Ancient Order of H~ibernians, their
ancestors. One can best give fancy
to their dreams by quoting the title
deed of Pope Adrain Q522-23) to
Henry II, of England, which reads as
follows:
Ireland a Papal Gift to England
Matthew Paris tells us that Henry
H., king of England, sent a solemn
embassy to solicit Pope Abrams per-
mission to invade and conquer Ireland,
and to bring into the way of truth
it's bestial inhabitants" by e%Xtirpat-
ing vice among them. This request
was gladly granted by his Holiness,
who sent Henry the following bull:
"Adrain, bishop, servant of the SER
wants of God, to his dearest son in
Christ, the illustrious king of Eng
land, health and his apostolical bless
ing. Laudably and advantageously
does your majesty plan to secure a
glorious name on earth, and to in
crease the reward of everlasting fell
lefty in the heavens, whilst as a
Catholic prince you strive to extend
the boundaries of the Church, to pro-
claim the truths of Christianity to an
uneducated and rude people, and to
Danish the seeds of vice from the
field of the Lord; to secur this OBJ
ject more conveniently, you demand
the advice and favor of the Apostolic
See. In this project, the higher your
aim, and the greater your discretion,
so much happier, the Lord preparing
the way, we r confident, will be
your success in it. You have signi-
fed to US, dearest son in Christ, that
you wished to invade the island of
Ireland, to subdue its inhabitants to
the laws of Christ, and to Danish from
it the seeds of vice; and that you
wished to pay annually for every
house to blessed Peter one denarius
FIFTEEN cents-'Peter's pence); and
also preserve the rights of the
churches in that land pure and I'M
broken. Now, we, regarding your
pious and p~raiseworthy desire with
deserved favor, and giving a kind as
sent to your petition, reckon it agree
able and welcome that, to enlarge the
vice, to correct morals, to introduce
virtue, and to increase the Christian
religion, you should invade that island,
and do whatever may seem to advance
the honor of God and the salvation of
that land. And let the people of that
land receive you and venerate you as
their lord, pro 'ided that the rights of
the churches shall remain pure and
u~nbroken, and that the annual pay
ment of one denarius to blessed Peter
from every house be made secure.
Truly, it is not to be doubted that all
the islands upon which Christ, the Sun
of Justice, has shone, and which have
received lessons in the Christian faith,
are subject to Saint Peter and the
Holy Roman Church, as even your
own mobiles confess. If, therefore,
you intend to complete the plan you
have conceived in your mind, aim to
teach that nation good morals, and
act so by yourself, and through those
whom you shall deem to be qualified
for this work, in faith, conversation,
and life, that in that land the Church
may be adorned, and that the Chris
tan may be planted, and may increase
there, and whatever tends to the
honor of God and the salvation OF
souls, may be so ordained that you
may be worthy to receive from Goo
the treasures of an eternal reward
and even OF earth you may receive g
glorious reputation throughout the
ages"
The above is published to show how
and where England got a title to Ire,
land from the infallible vicar o.
Christ in Rome who decided all The
earth to different kings. Pope Greg
DRY VII decided England 70 william
;, ne Conqueror, a FrencErnan, 50 YOU
see the title deed is good. Those wit
want Ireland to be a separate nation
, repudiates the Popes' title deeds ant
do not believe in the Popes' infallibil
ity.
