The Letter. ‘The following is the full text of the} Pope’s encyclical etter, issucd from Rome on the 8th of December, 1864. Po Our VencnsBie Breve! ALL Tux Parriarcus, PRI Matra, ARCHBISHOPS AND PS IN COMMUNION WITH We, Pus TX: Pope, send freeting and our apostal lc, Pius ‘ope, se y our ay ic Messing. You know venerabl brettiren, with what care and what pastoral wigianee the Roman Pontiffs, our pre- decessors, fulfilling the charge entrusted to them by our Bord Josus Christ himself, in the person of the blessed Peter, chief of the Apostles, have unfailingly observed thelr duty in providing food for the sheep and the lambs, te sesidaoualy nourishing the flock of the Lord with the ‘words of faith, in imbuing them with salutary doctrine, and in turning them away from poisoned pastures; all his is known to you, and you have appreciated it. And ecrtainly our predecessors, in affirming and in vindicating Be august holic faith, truth and justice, were ever animated in their care for the salvation of souls by @more earnest desire than that of extinguishing and eondemming, by their letters and their constitutions, all the heresies and errors which as enemies of our divine faith, of the doctrines of the Catholic church, of the writy of morals, and of the eternal salvation of man, ve frequently excited serious storms and precipitated ivil and Christian society into the most deplorable mis- fortones. For this reason our predecessors have opposed #hemeclves with vigorous energy to the criminal enter- of those wicked men, who, spreading their dis- ing opinions like the waves of a raging sen and pro- meising liberty when they are slaves to corruption, endeavor y their pernicious writings to overturn the foundations the Curistian Catholic religion and of civil society; to destroy all virtue and justice; to deprave all minds and bearis; to tarn away simple minds, and espedtally those ef inexperienced youth, from the healthy discipline of morals; to corrupt it’ miserably; to draw it into the @eshes of error, and, finally, to tear it from the bosom af the Catholic church. But as you are aware, venerable brethren, we had searcely been raised to the chair of St. Peter above our merits by the mysterious desigus of divine Providence, an, seeing with the most profound grief of our soul the ible storm excited by evil doctrines, and the very geve and deplorable injury caused specially by 80 mamy @rreys to Christian people, in accordance with the duty of our apostolic ministry, and following in the glorivus footsteps of our predecéstor, we raised our voice, and by she publication of several encyclicals, consistorial letters Ynd allocutions, and other apostolical letters, we have condemned the principal errors of our sad age, reani- mated your utmost episcopal vigilance, warned and ex- horted, upon various occasions, all our’ dear children in the Catholic church to repel and absolutely avoid the ‘contagion of so horrible a plague. More especially in our first encyclical of the 9th November, 1846, ad- d to you, and in our two allocutions of the @&h December,’ 1354, and the 9th June, 1862, #0 the consistories, we condemned the’ mon- strous opinions which particularly predominate in the present day, to the great prejudice of souls, and to the detriment of civil society—doctrines which not only attack the Catholic church, her salutary instruction, and her venerable rights, but also the natural, unalterable law Amscribed by God upon the heart of man—that of sound But although we have not hitherto omitted to proscribe and reprove the principal errors of this kind, yet the cause of the Catholic church, the safety of the souls which have Deen confided to us, and the well being of human society Mteelf, absolutely demand that we should again exercise our pastoral solicitude to destroy new opinions which ‘ont of these same errors as from 80 many gources. false and perverse opinions are the more detestable fe they expecially tend to shackle and turn aside the salu- tary force that the Catholic church, by the example of her divine Author and His order, ought freely to exer. cive until the end of time, not only with regard to each individual man; tut with regard to nations, peoples, wud their rulers, and to destroy that agreement ‘nd concord between the priesthood and the gov- ernment which have always existed for the happiness and security of religious and civil society. For, a8 you ‘are well aware, venerable brethren, there are a great wamber of men in the present day who, applying to civil Bociety the impious and abswi inciple of n Lism, ‘apitis called, dare to teach “that the perfect right of gadtic society and civil progress absolutely require a con- jon of human society constituted and governed without wegard to all considerations religion, us if it had no @zistence, or at least without making any distinction be- ‘tween true religion nnd heresy." And, contrary to the feaching of the Holy Scriptures, of the Church, and of ‘the Fathers, they do not hesitate to affirm ‘that the best eondition of society is that in which the power of the laity is not compelied to inflict the penalties of law upon ‘violators of the Catholic religion unless required by con- siderations of public safety.” Actcated by an idea of wocial government so absoivtely false, they do not hesi- tate further to propagate this crroneous opininon, very Burtful to the safety of the Catholic chureh and of souls, and termed delirium by our predecessor, Gregory XVI Of excellent memory, viz:— “Laberty of conscience an Of worship is the right of every man—a right which ought fo be proclaimed and established by law in every well con- Mituted State; and that citizens are entitled tomake known and declare,’ with « liberty which neither the ec astical nor the civil authority can limit, their convictions, ef whatever kind, either by word of mouth, or through the press, or by other means.”? But in making these Pash assertions they do not reflect, they do not con- Sider that tbey preach the liberty of perdition (St. Augus. tine, Epistie 106 al, 166), and that “if itis always free ‘Wo human conviction to discuss, men will never be want- ing who dare to siroggle against the truth, and to rely the loquacity of human wisdom, when we know by example of our Lord Jesus Christ how faith ond Christian sagacity ought to avoid this very’ culpable vanity.” (St. Leon, Epistle 164 al. 133, «. 2, Boll. ed.) Since, alas, relizion has been banished from civil Kov- ernment—since the doctrine and authority of divine re- ‘velation have been repudiated, the ideas intimately ected therewith of justice and human r ghts is obscured dy darkness and lost sight of, and in place of trie justice ‘and legitimate right brute force is substituted, which has permitied some, entirely oblivious of the plainest pr les of sound reason, to dare to proclaim ‘that the the people, manifested by what is called public opinion or by other means, constitutes a supreme law, siperior to all divine and human right; and that accomplished facts ip politcal affairs, by the mere fact of their having been ‘wccomplished, have the force of law."’ But who does not agg 2 see and understand that human society, released the ties of religion and true justice, can have no further object than to amass riches, and ‘can follow no ether law in its action than the indomitable wickedness Of a heart given up to pleasure and interest? For this reason, also, those same men persecute with 0 relentiess a hatred the religious orders, who have de- served s0 well of religion, civil society and letters; they Joudly declare that the orders have no right to exiet; and, in so doing, make common cause with the fal Doois of the heretics; for, as taught by our predecessor, Of illustrious memory, Pius VI., “the abolition of reli jous houses injures the state of public profession, and contrary to the counsels of the Gospel, injures a mode of life recommended by the church and in conformity with the apostolical doctrine, does wrong to the co Drated founders whom we venerate upon the altar, and ‘who constituted thesc societies under the inspiration of ee mene De La Rochefoucald, March 1.) In their impiety these same persons pretend that citi Bene and the Church should be deprived of the opporta- ity of “openly receiving alms Christian charity,” ‘and the law forbidding “servile labor on account of di vine worship,” upon certain fixed days, should be abro gated, upon the fallacious pretext that this opportunity and this law are contrary to the principles o 5 economy. Not content with eradicating reli Ben: society, they desire further to banish it from fam and private life. Teaching and professing th most fatal errors of socialism and communism they elare that “domestic society, or the entire family, derives dts right of existence solely from civil laws, whence is to be concluded that from civil law descend all the rights of nts over their children, and, above all, the right of ucting and educating them.’ By such impious opin- fopsand machinations do these fale spirits endeavor to @liminate the salutary teaching and influence of the Catholic Church from the instruction and education of Youth, and to infect and miserably deprave by their per- Ricious errors and their vices the tender and pliant minds of youth. All those who endeavor to trouble sacred and public things, te destroy the good order of society, and to Qnpihilate all divine and human rights, have always con- eentrated their criminal schemes, attention and efforts ‘apon the maaner in which they might above all deprave and deinde unthinking youth, a8 we have already shown. Itis upon the corruption of youth that they place all ‘heir hopes. Thus never cease to attack the clergy, whom have descended to us in #0 authentic @ man ‘Ber the mort certain records of history, and by whom such considorable benefit bas been bestowed i abundance ‘Spon Christian and civil society and upon letters. They ‘reall them in every shape, going 80 far as to say of the lorgy in genornl, ‘that being the enemies of the useful Sciences, of progrons, and of civilization, they ought to Be deprived Of the charge of instructing and educating Others, taking up wicked errors, many times con- demned, Presume, with noorious impudence, to submit the authority of the church and of this apostolic see, eonferred opon it by Ged himself, to the judgment of @ivil authority, and to deny all the rights of this rame jaro and this #ee with regard to exterior order. They @ not blush to affirm “that the Inws of the chureh do wot bind the conscience if they are not pro ted by Abe civil power; that the acts and decrees of tne homes ifs concerning religion and the church require the Hon and approbation, or at leagt the assent, of the atvil power; and that the aportoile constitutions, eon.

They “that the eccl wer 4s not of right divine, ‘letinct and independent of the civil , and no ion, Do this can be maintained without the church invading and usurping the essential rights of the civil Entacty of thoee who, inoping. sound doctroe, sacert au who, insulting soui that "the ‘Jodgmenta and decrees of the Holy See, whose ie welfare of the deolared to concern the pent church, its righte and its discipline, do not claim the acquiescence and obedience under pain of sin and loss of the Catholic profession, if they do not treat of the mas of faith and manners.’” How contrary is this doctrine to the Catholic dogma of the full power, divinely given to the Sovereign Pontiff by our Lord Jesus Christ, to guide, to supervise and govern the universal church, no one can fail to see and under- stand clearly and evidently. cs : So great a perversity opinions remembering our apostolic duty, solicitous before things for our most holy religion, for sound doctrine, for the salvation of the souls confided to us, and for the wel- fare of human society itself, have considered the moment opportune to raise anew our voice. And, there- fore, do we condemn and ibe, generally and par- ticularly, all the evil ‘and’ doctrines specially mentioned in this letter, and we wish that they may be held as rebuked, proscribed and condemned by all the children of the Catholic church. But you know further, venerable brothers, that, in our time, insulters of every truth, and of all justice, and ane cnernias of poe religion, have spread abroad other impious doctrin ‘means 0) books, pamphlets and journals, which: dlatributed over the surface of the earth, deceive the people and wickedly lie. You are not ignorant that, in our day, men are found who, ani- mated and excited by the spirit of Satan, have arrived at that excess of impiety as not to fear to deny our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, and to attack His divinity with scandalous persistence, We cannot abstain from award- ing you well merited eulogies, venerable brothers, for all the care and zeal with which you have raised your epis- copal voice against so great an impiety, in the present letter, therefore, we speak to you with all our heart—to you who, called to partake our cares, are our greatest support in the midst of our very great grief, our joy and our consolation, by reason of the ex- cellent piety of which you give proof in maintaining religion, and the marvellous love, faith and discipline with which, united by the strongest and most affec- tionate ties to us and this apostolic see, you strive to valiantly and accurately fulfil your grave episcopal ministry. We ought then to expect from your excellent pastoral zeal that, taking the eword of the Spirit, that is to say the word of God, and strengthened by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, you will watch with redoubled care that the faithful committed to your charge ‘abstain from evil pasturage, which Jesus Christ does not culti- vate, because it was not sown by His Father.”’ (St. Ignac. M. nd Philadelph. ; St. Lent. Epist. 156, al. 125.) Nover cease, then, to inculcate in the faithful thatall true feli- city proceeds, for the men of our august religi froi m its doctrine and practice, and that that poople is ha who have the Lord with them. (Psalm 143.) Teach “that kingdoms rest upon the foundation of the faith’’ it. Celest, Lett, 22, au Syn. d’Eph.); “and that nothing 8 So mortal, 80 prompt to engender every ill, so exposed to danger for those who think that it can alone suffice, as the free will which we received at birth, if we ask nothing further from the Lord—that is to say if, forgetting our author, we abjure His power to show that we are free.”” And do not omit to “that the royal power has been established not only to exercise the world, but above all the protection of the (St. Lent. Epist. 185, al. 125), and that there is nothing more protitable and ‘more glorious for the sovereigns of States and kings tan @ lars the Catholic Church to exercise its laws and not to permit any to attack its liberty; as our most wise and courageous predecessor, St. Felix, wrote to the Emperor Zenon. It is certain that it is advantageous for the sove- reigns, when the cause of God is in quostion, to submit their royal will according to the established rules, to the Priests of Jesus Christ, and not to their will upon ity » (Pius VII. Bpist. Encycl. Din satis, May 16, 800. It is alwaye, but especially at present, your duty, ven- erable brothers, in the midst of the Drakes calceesiee of the church and of civil society, in view of the terrible conspiracy of our adversaries against the Catholic church and our apostolic aee, and the great accumulation of er- rors—it is your duty, I'say, before all, to go with faith to the Throne of Grace to obta'n mercy and find fitting suc- cor. We havo therefore judged the moment to have come to excite the piety all the faithful, in order that, with us, and with you all, they may pray without ceasing to the Father, supplicating and bescech- ing Him fervently and humbly for instruction and mercy, in order also that, in the plenitnde of their faith, they may seek refuge in our Lord Josus Christ, who ‘has redeemed us with His divine blood, that, by their multiplied efforts they may oblain from that burn- ing heart, victim of its charity for us, the gift of drawing all by the bonds of His love, of inspiring all men inflamed by His holy love with the desire of liv- ing according to His heart, piesing God in all things, and fruitful in all good works. But, as there is no doubt that the prayers most reeable to God are thowe of the men who approach im with @ heart pure from all stain, we have thought it good to open to Christians, with’ a truly apostolic liberality, the heavenly treasures of the church confided to our dispensation, so that the faith- ful, more strongly drawn towards true piety, and purified from the stain of their sins by eacra- ment of penitence, may more confidently offer up their prayers to God, and obtain His mercy and grace. By these letters, eminating from our apostolic authority, we grant to all and each of the faithful of both sexes throughout the universe, a plenary indulgence during one month, up t0 the end of the year 1865, and not longer, to be carried into effect by you, venerable brethern, and the other legitimate ordinaries, In the form and manner laid down at the commencement of our sovereign pontificate, by our apostolical letters issued ag a brief upon the 20th cf November, 1848, and sent to the whole episcopate of the world, commencing with the words Arcano divine Providentie consilio, aud with the faculties given by us in these same letters. We desire, however, that all the prescriptions of our letters shall be observed, saving the exceptions we have declared admissable. We have come to this determination, notwithstanding all which might be ordered to the contrary by special and individual mention, and which might be worthy of departure from that decision; but, in order that every hesitation and difficulty should be removed, we have ordered that acopy of our letter should be again forwarded to you. Let us implore, venerable brethren, from the bottom of our hearts and with all our souls, for the mercy of God. He has encouraged us so to do by saying, “I will not withdraw my mercy from them. Let us ask, and we shall receive; and if there is elowness or delay in its re- ception, because we have gravely offended, let us knock, because He opens to those who knock for prayers, groans and tears, by means of which we must persist and re- main, knock at the door,” &. (St. Cyprian, Epistle ii.) But, in order that God’ may accede more easily to our yers and our wishes, and to those of all His faithful servants, let us employ in all confidence as our media- trix with Him the Virgin Mary, who has destroyed all heresies throughout the world, and who, the well be loved mother of [us all, “la very gracious * * and full of mercy % * ' allows herself to be touched by all, shows herself very clement towards all, and takes ‘under her pitying care all our miseries’ with unlimited affection” —(St. Bernard, Germ de duodecitn prerogativis V. en verbis Apocalipti)—and who, aitting as queen upon the right hand of her son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in a golden vestment, shining with various adornments, knows nothing which she cannot obtain from the sovereign master. Let us implore also the intervention of the blessed Peter, chief of the Apostles, and of his co-Apostle Paul, and of all those saints of heaven, who having already become the friends of God have been admitted into the celestial kingdom, where they are crowned and bear palms, and who, hence- forth certain of immortality, are entirely devoted to our vation. Lastly, let us ask of God from the bottom of our heart the abundance of all his celestial benefits for you. We ourselves bestow upon you, venerable brethren, and upon all clerks and faithful of the laity committed to your care, our apostolic benediction from the most loving depths of our heart, in token of our charity towards you.

Appendix to the Encyclical. CATALOGUE ¥ THE PRINCIPAL ERRORS OF OUR TIME, POINTED OUT IN THE CONSISTORIAL ALLO- CUTIONS, ENCYCLICAL, AND OTHER APOSTOLICAL LETTERS OF POrR PIUS LX. Romn, Dec. 22, 1864. The following catalogue of errors is appended to the Encyclical, bearing date the 8th inst, :— 61, —PANTIBISM, NATURALISM, AND ARSOLUTR RATIONALIEM, 1. There ie no divine power, supreme being, wisdom, and providence distinet from the universality of things, and God is none other than the nature of things, an: therefore immutable. In effect, God is in man, and in the world, and ail things are God, and have the very sub- stance of God. God ts, therefore, one and the same thing with the world, and thence’ mind is confounded with matter, necessity with liberty of action, true with falne, good with evil, just with unjust,—(See Allocution, ‘Maxima quidem,” Jane 9, 1862.) 4 2. All action of upon man and the world should be denied. —(See Alloc,, “Maxima quidem,” June 9, 1862.) 3. Human reason, without any regard to God, is the sole arbiter of true and false, good and evil; it is ite own law in iteelf, and suffices by its natural force for the care of the welfare of men and nations —(Seo Alloc., ‘Maxi- ma quidem,” June 9, 1862 ) ' 4. All tHe truths of refigion are derived from the na- tive strength of human reason, whence reason is the prine! pal role by which man can ‘and mnt arrive at the nowledge of all traths of every kind. —(See Encyclicals, “Qui pluribus,” Nov. 9 1846, and “Singular quidem,” Mares 17, 1856, and Alloc., “Maxima quidem,” June 9, #62 5. Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to the continual and indetinite Progress corresponding to the progress of human reason.—(See Encye. “Qui plurt- bus," Nov. 9, 1846, and Alloc., “Maxima quidem,” June 9, 162) 6. Christian faith ts in opposition to human reason, and Divine revelation is not only useless, but even injurious to the perfection of man.—(See Eneye., “Qui pluribus,” Nov. 9, 1846; Alloc., “Maxima quidem,” June 9, 1863.) 7.

The church is nota true and perfect entirely free association; she does not rest upon the peculiar and per- potual rights conferred upon her by her Divine founder; but it appertains to the civil power to define what are tho rights and limits within which the church may exercise authority.—(Alloc. “Singulari one ,? Dec. 9, 1854 ; Saactia graribas;" Dec. 17, 1860; “Maxima quidem,” jane, 5 20. The ecclesiastical power must not exercise its authority without the toleration and assent of the civil oa -(Alloc., “Meminit unusquisque, Sept. 30, 21. The church hag not the power of disputing dog- matically that the religion of the Catholic church is the only true religion.—(Lit. Apost., ‘“Multiplices inter,” June 10, 1861.) 22. The obligation which binds Catholic masters and writers does not apply to matters proposed for universal belief as articles of faith by the infallible Judgment of the church.—(Let. to Archbishop Frising, ‘Tuas lt- Denter,” Dec. 21, 1863.) i 23. The church has not the power of fvailing herself of force, or any direct or indirect temporal power.—(Lit. Apost., ‘Ad apostolicas,” August 22, 1861.) 24. The Roman Pontiffs and cecumenical councils have exceeded the limits of their power, have usurped the rights of princes, and have even committed errors in de- fining matters relating to dogma and morals.—(Lit. Apost. “Multiplices inter,’ June 10, 1861.) 25. In addition to the authority inherent in the episco- pate, further temporal power is granted to it by the civil power, either expressly or tacity, but on that account also revocable by the civil power whenever it pleases.— (Lit. A “Ad Apostolicas,” August 22, 1851. ) 26. The church has not the natural and legitimate right of acquisition and pommaosicn. — {prea ” De- ne 18, 1866; Encyc. ‘Incredibili,”’ September 1, 1862.) 2%. The ministers of the church and the Roman Pontiff ought to be absolutely excluded from all charge and dominion over temporal affairs,—(Alloc., “Maxima Me ate hare. right of ting thel .

The immunity of the church and of eeclesiastical persons derives its origin from civil law.—(Lit, Apost., “Multiplices inter.,”’ June 10, 1861.) 81. Ecclesiastical jurisdiction for temporal lawsuits, whether civil or criminal, of the clergy, should be abol- ished, even without the consent and against the desire of the Holy See.—(Alloc., ‘‘Acerbissimum,” September 27, 1862; Id. “Nunquam fore,” December 15, 1856. be. The personal immunity exonerating the clergy from military law may be d without violation either of natural right or of equity. This abrogation is called for by civil progress, especially in a society modelled upon principles of liberal government.—(Let. to Bishop Montisregal, ““Singularis nobilisque,” Septem- ber 29, 1864.) 33. It does not appertain to ecclesiastical D, by any right proper and inherent to its essence, to direct doctrine in matters of theology.—(Let. to Archbishop Frising, “Tuas libenter,’’ Dec. 21, 1863.) 34. The doctrine of those who’ compare the sovereign ntiff to a free sovereign acting in the universal church js. a doctrine which prevailed in the middle ages.—(Lit, Apost., Aug 22, 1861.) 35. There is no obstacle to the sentence of a general or the act of all the nation transferring the pon- tifical sovereign from the bishopric and city of Rome to some other bishopric in another city.—(Id., ibid.) 36. The definition of @ national council does not admit of subsequent discussion, and the civil power can require that matters shall remain as they are.—{Id., ibid.) 87. National churches can be established without, and separated from, the Roman Pontitt—(Alloc., ‘Multis gravibueque,” Dec. 17, 1860; “Jamdudum cernimus.”” March 18, 1861.) 38- Many Roman Pontiff have lent themselves to the division of the church in Eastern and Western onerabes—Li, Apost., “Ad Apostolicas,’? August 22, 1861.) § VI.—ERRORS OF CIVIL BOCIRTY, AS MUCH IN THEMSELVES AS CONSIDERED IN THEIR RELATIONS TO THE CHURCH 89. The state of a republic, as being the origin and source of ali rights, imposes itvelf by its rights which is not circumscribed by any limit.—(Alloc., “Maxima qui- dem,” June 9, 1862.) 40, The doctrine of the Catholic church is opposed to the laws and interests of society.—(Eneye. “Qui pluri- bus,” Nov. 9, 1846; Alloc., “Quibus quantisque,”” April 20, 1849.) 41. The civil government, even when exercised by a heretic sovereign, possesses an indirect and negative power over Teligious affairs —(Lit. Apost., August 22, 1851.) 42. In a@ legal conflict between the two powers, civil law ought to prevail.—(Id., ibid.) 43. The lay power has the authority to destroy, declare and render null solefin conventions or concordats rela- ting to the use of rights appertaining to ecclesiastical im- munity, without the consent of the priesthood, and even against its willr.—(Alloc.,‘‘In consistoriall,”” Nov. 1, 1860; “Multis gravibusque,” Dec, 17, 1860.) 44, The civil authority may interfere in matters regard- ing religion, morality and spiritual government, whence it has control over the instructions for the guidance of consciences issued, conformably with their mission, by the pastors of the church. Further, it possesses full power inthe matter of administering the Divine sacra- ments and the necessary arrangements for their recep- tion. —(““In Consistoriali,” Nov 1, 1868; “Alloc., ‘“Maxi- ma quidem,” June 9, 1862.) 45. The entire direction of public schools in which the youth of Christian States are educated, save an exception in the case of Episcopal seminaries, may and must apper- tain to the civil power, and belong to it so far that no other authority shall be recognized as having any right to interfere in the discipline of the schools, the arrangement of the studies, the taking of degrees, or the choice and approval of the teachers —(Alloc., “In Consistoriali,” Nov. 1, 1860; “Quibus luctuosissimis,” Sept, 6, 1861.) 46. Further, even in clerical seminaries the mode of study must be submitted to the civil authority. —(Alloc., “Nunquam fore,’’ Dec, 15, 1856.) 47. The most advantageous conditions of civil eociety require that Popular schools open without distinetion to all children of the people, and public establishments des- tined to teach young people letters and good discipline, and to impart to them education, should be freed from all coclesiastical authority and interference, and should be fully subjected to the civil and political power for the teaching of masters and opinions common to the times. — (Letter to Archbishop of Friburg, “Quum non sine,” July 14, 1864.) 45. This manner of instructing youth, which consists in separating it from the Catholic faith and from the power of the church, and in teaching it above alla knowledge of natural a and the objects of social life, may be perfectly approved by Catholics. —(Id., ibid.) 49. The civil power is entitled to prevent ministers of religion and the faithful from communicating freely and mutually with the Roman Pontif,—(Alloc., “Maxima quidem,”’ June 9, 1862.) 60. The lay authority porsesses of itself the right of presenting bishops, and may require of them that they take possession of their dioceses before having received canonical institution and the apostolical letter of the Holy See,—(Alloc., “Nunquam fore," Dec, 16, 1866, 51, Furth right of depos- , the hy authority bes 7 oe ing bishope from their tions, an forced to obey the Roman Pontiff in mattors affecting the filling of sees and the institution of bishopa.—{Lit.

Laws respecting the protection, rights and fano- tions of religions establishments must be abrogated; further, the civil government may lend its assistance to all who desire to quit @ religious Hfe and break their vows. The government may also deprive religious estab- lishmenta ‘of tho right of patronage to collegial churches and simple benefices, and eubmit their goods to civil competence and adminiatration.—(Alloc., ‘Acerbiesi- mum,’’ Sept. 27, 1862; ‘Probe memineritie,”’ Jam, 22, 1465 ;' end “Qaum sape,” July 26, 1858.) 54.

This belongs to civil so- ciety, which can remove the existing hindrances. (Lit.

Apost., August 22, 1851.) 70. The canons of the Council of Trent, which invoke anathema against those who deny the church the right of pronouncing upon invalidating obstacles, are not dog- matic, and must be considered as from bor- rowed power. —[Lit ‘Apost., ibid.) 11. form of the said council, under penalty of nul- lity, does not bind in cages where the civil law has @p- pointed another form, and desires that this new form is to be used in marriage. (Id., ibid.) 72. Boniface VAIL is the first who declared that the vow of chastity pronounced at ordination annuls nup- tials. (Id., ibid.) 78. A civil contract may very well, among Christiane, take the place of true marriage, and it is false,* either that the marriage contract between Christians must al- ways be a sacrament, or that the contract is null if the sacrament does not exist. (Id., ibid; Let. to King of Sar- dinia, Sept. 9, 1862; Alloca., “Acerbissimum,’’ Sept. 27, 1852; “Multis gravibueque,?” Dec. 17, 1860.) 74. Matrimonial or nuptial causes belong by their na- ture to civil jurisdiction. (Lit. Apost., August 22, 1851; Alloc., “‘Acerbissimum,”” Sept. 27, 1862.) N. B.—Two other ersors are still current upon the abo- lition of the celibacy of priests and the preference due to the state of marriage over that of virginity. These have been refuted—the first in Encyc. ‘Qui pluribus,” Nov. 9, a ne second in Lit. Apost. ‘‘Multiplices inter,” June §1X.—ERRORS REGARDING THE CIVIL POWER OF THE S0VE- REIGN POTIFY. 7. The children of the Christian and Catholic church are not agreed upon the compatibility of the temporal with the spiritual power.—(Lit. Apost., Aug. 22, 1862.) 76. The cessation of the temporal power, upon which the Apostolic See is based, would contribute to the hap- pinees and liberty of the church.—{Alloc., “Quibus ‘quantieque,”” April 20, 1849.) N. B.—Besides these errors explicitly pointed out, still and those numerous, are rebuked by the certain “dactrine which all Catholics are bound to respect touch- ing the civil government of the Sovereign Pontiff. These doctrines are abundantly explained in Allocs., ‘Quantis uantumque,” April 26, 1sbo, and “Si semper antes,” lay 20, 1850; Lit. Apost., “Quum Catholica Ecclesia,” March 26, 1860; Allocs., “Novos,” September 28, 1860; “Jamdudum,” March 18, 1861; and “Maxima quidem,” Tune 9, 1862. X.—ERWORS REFERRING TO MODERN 1JBERALISM. ‘77. In the present day it is no longer neceesary that the Catholic religion shall be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other modes of wor- ship.—(Alloc., ‘Nemo vestrum, July 26, 1865.) 78. Whence it has been wisely provided by law, in some countries called Catholic, that emigrants shall enjoy the free exercise of their own’ worship.—(Alloc., “‘Acer- dissimum,” Sept. 27, 1852.) 79. But it is false that the civil liberty of every mode of worship and the full power given to all of overtly and publicly displaying their opinions and their thoughts conduce more couity to corrupt the morals and minds of the people and to the propagation of the evil of indif- feronce.—(Alloc., “Nunquam fore,” Dec. 15, 1856.) 80. The Roman Pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself to and agree with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.—(Aloc., ‘Jamdudum cernimus,’’ Maroh 18, 1861.) Volunteering. THE HANCOCK CORPS—GENERAL HANCOCK VISITS THE SUPERVISORS’ VOLUNTEERING AND ENROLL- ING ROOMS. Volunteering and bounty paying has improved some- what since Chairman Blunt’s return from Washington. The assurances made to the Supervisor while there were favorable in reference to the naval enlistments and to the credits already given, but nothing was positively determined upon. ‘The great evil the committee is now suffering from is the running out of the city by agents, brokers, &c., large numbers of able bodied men to enlist in other places and Btates. Thero is a stringent law against this passed by the last Legislature, subjecting the parties so offending to imprisonment and a fine of $500—one-half to xo to the informer. This thi ought to be stopped, and if the authorities were at all active it might be. ‘Fifty or a hundred men a day are thus lost to the city of New York. One great reason for this is that the bounties are much larger in other places than here, and until this is corrected by an increase in this city, ‘Which the Zrilune opposes, it will continue, and our quota remain unfilled. By all meane let the bounty be increased, as well as the premium or hand money. The committee is now actively engaged in procuring volunteers for General Hancock's corps of veterans. The men must have been in service at least two years and honorably discharged, and all such Joining this celebrated corps receive nine hundred dolfars bounty—enongh to buy and stock a good sized farm. Recruits of this class are coming in well, and Mr. Blunt hopes to fill up its ranks rapidly. The gallant General paid a visit to the committee's quarters yesterday and was much pleased with the general appearance of things. He also passed through the enrolling department, where there are a thousand clerks employed, and on his departure from which he received from tl ge body nine rousing cheers, which must have reminded the General of the —_ given out by his old favorite Second when making a charge.

In connection with the project of the Irish library he stated that a brother Knight of St. Patrick, Mr. James M. Sheehan, was ready to donate five hundred rare Irish volumes as the first contribution to the object. The society then ad- journed and partook of a splendid supper at the invita- tion of the President.

Bow Tueet yaow 4 Horet Coact.—Two thieves with ® horse and wagon on Wednesday evening drove up behind Lovejoy’s Hotel coach, which was going down Fulton street, near Church, when one of them seized trunk from the rear of the coach and toesed it into his wagon. The driver of one of Dodd's Express wagons, who witnessed the theft, gave the alarm, when the thieves were pursued and prossed so closely that they were compelled to abandon their hi wagon and eng in order to @ffect their escape. In the wagor ‘ides the stolen trunk, was a package of in ad- dressed to “J. R.
