Speaking of. the Brief of suppression
of the society., the Protestant historian.
Schoen says, "lo condemns neither•_
the doetrine, nor the inorals, nor the.
discipline of• the Jesuits. The cow•

' are the only motia'es alleged for its sup-.
pression." (:,Elie italics are mine.)
Now my reverend,opponent, in his .
second ietter, quotinfrom the pion-.
treal Witness—a questionable authority
on anything Catholic—says, " [t also
shows that Pope Clement XIV., in his..
Bull, did condemn the. order." Now,,,
if Mr. Short will read the Brief care,
fully he will notice that the Pope only
mentions .the complaints against the.
order, as given by the kings demand-
ing the suppreseion,o£. the order., idler
does not say they were guilty, and in
order to carry out their object, the,
Witness is veryecareful to put in just..
what suits it, for before the quotation
from the Brief will be found words -
that qualify the quotation, beginning
with "their universal employment ine
some places of heathen rites." On
passant, I, would like to say. a few,
words about those " heathen ,rites."
The Jesuit missionaries in . China,,,
some time pr,evious to this, •found
among those people who became Chris•
tiaus,-a custom,, of • honoring, their -

ever, a.• matter of doubt, and • was.
£erred to Rome, and when the. answer.,.
came . back, that the practice must •
tease, the: fathers ordered its• discon
tinuance. Another. quotation from a
letter of Clement XIV., previous to
the Brief . of suppression, says: "But:
as the end we.have in view, and whiche
we ardently desire to attain, is to care,.
for. the general' wellbeing of the:
'Church, and the peace of the nations,
