Froin Rev. Fr. West. Editor News -Record DEAR Sta,-The propositions con- demned by Pope IX. are generally mis- understood, and incorrectly quoted by non-Catholics. A little work entitled "the Syllabus for the People" gives the condemned propositions and how to interprete them. In the Syllabus we read: "Every one of Mr. Gladstone's blunders on the score of condemned propositions proceeds from the Right Honorable gentleman's substituting contraries instead of contradictories Co the condemned propositions. Mr. Gladstone's version from the latin is so distorted and untrue that we can- not forrn its contradictory without making the Pope say what he never intended to say. I know a>any honest Protestants think that whatever the Church defines, she defines as of faith; that the eighty condemned proposi- tions are eighty heresies in the eyes of Rome, and the eighty contradictories are so many articles of faith. This is ar ntiseonception. Opinions may he censured as heretical, or as approach- ing to heresy, or as dangerous, or as offensive to pious ears, or as erroneous, etc.. All the censures except the first are called minor censures." Often non- Catholic controversialists refer to canon law. Their quotations however on examination are not found in .fdonnan Canon haw. Condemned or unauthorized commentators, of the Beale are quoted now and again in order to misrepresent Catholic teach- ing A Protestant who desires to know the truth on this questio• can always borrow a Catholic Bible from his neighbor and examine for himself the notes as found in an approved Catholic Bible. This is the best way to get at the tr•uth.t Where is no end to the forgeries now in circulation to in- jure the Catholic church. Lafayette, a Catholic, speaking of America, said : "If the liberties of the American peo- ple are destroyed, they will not fall by the Roman clergy." Some make hits say the contrary, what he never said. ft is said that Wilkes Booth was a Jesuit, and that he assassinated Presi- dent Lincoln. Booth was not a Jesuit. He was a Protestant. It is also said that Guiteau was a Catholic, and that he assassinated Garfield. Guiteau w'as a Protestant, and a rnecuher of the Bapist church. The rn,n•derers of the two Presidents, Lincoln and Garfield, were Protestants. I have before me the Patriotic American of June 18, 1803. One of its articles is headed, Popish Oaths. Then follows. forms of alleged oath taken by cardinals, bishops, priests, &c. No such oaths are taken by any one in the ranks of the Catholic Clergy or by any person in the Catholic church. They are like other documents which are circulated to injure its. They are fnr•geries. It is said that the Pope has written a hook which is on the Irfdex. This also is untrue. The pri vate Chain of the Pope has lately written to the Standard correcting this false report which has been widely circulated by the press. Some are always speaking of Catholics as religious persecutors, and as if their own hands were with out stains. For ,t refutation of this we have 'proofs even in our own land. Who first proclaimed civil and relig- ions liberty on this American contin- ent? The Catholics of Maryland. Who in this country persecuted every one who differed with there in re- ligious belief? The Protestant, Puri- tans of the New England States. "There never has been," says the Rey. Mr. Williams, a Church of England minister, "a greater fraud of history perpetrated than all the gush about the Pilgrim Fathers establishing civil and religious liberty in this land. That was as far from their thoughts as it was from the though L9 of Cromwell's troopers in Ireland. Brother Green is an unmitigated humbug when he asserts that the Pilgrims made New England a land of refuge and delight for any one but men of their own stripe, and not much of delight for even those, except for the elders and magistrates in the hanging of some Of the Quakers, and in the whipping of others at the cart's tail, and the banish- ing of Baipists and others to Narra- gansett flay, for denying the right of the civil Magistrate to whip, imprison and hang for heresy" -The Parish Messenger, Oinitba, • 18413. Some un- charitably lt8serti that 'the Catholic chatrtrh' ill a i`n'"ti•i:'hriaatian. The Church of England 'Minister jit'9t qquoted refers ixi tilt• very* question. "No part of the Christian church," says this rev. gentle- man, "Can' show a more indomitable courage and devotion, a more ti reles spirit 'far the conversion of heathen men and savages, at every cost of com- fort, (ff eaase, of home, of worldly ad - ventage, of life itself than the Roman ^34 Catholic church. Her priests penetrate into every heathen fitatness; her nuns also, On every battlefield her sisters forego the natural weakness of their womanhood, to minister to the dying, on the warswept field of slaughter. They are found by day and by night in the plague -swept cities of the land and in the hospitals afraid the dead, and dying, and the suffering. When in Memphis and New Orleans Protestant min:sters fled- many of theist,, before the horrors of the yellow fever, the Roman Catholic priests stood' like' men to their posts, some of them to die beside their more manly Protettant brethren, and the men of the red cross and sisters also." After condemning in the streugest those who malign priests And nuns, this reverend gentleman continues, "They give daily proof of heroic cour- age and rare devotion on behalf of the bodies of souls of men and women without waiting to inquire what their creed or nation is." At the Episcopal church congress, held in Chichering hall, New York, in November, 1893, the Rev. Dr. Kirbus said ; "For large numbers the Roman Catholic church provided a satisfactory religion, and they should not be disturbed in their belief." The Rev. Dr. Dumbell, of Staten Island, said : "The Church of Route is a true branch of Christianity; her sacraments, valid sacraments; her priests, real priests. The average Ro- manistknows more of the doctrine of Christianity than we do," -Catholic Times. Rev. Dr. Rainsford a few nights ago said in Brooklyn : "The Catholic Church is strong because far better than we Protestants do, she stands by the poor." Heaven Our Home, a Protestant work, published by William P. Viinrno, Edinburgh, p p 212, 213, 214, says : "The Bible gives a description of Gods dealing with this world during the long period of nearly four thousand years; and during the whole of that long history, we are by many incidental expressions reminded of the intense solicitude which angels feel in what is going on not in heaven merely, but on the earth also. These missions and that interest will only terminate when at the last day the earth itself shall he burned up. The glorified members of the human family who are in heaven feel an interest in us who are upon the earth. You may perhaps never now think about them: but rest assured, he verily persuaded of this that they feel an interest in you still." The Rev. T. T. Carter, M. A., Rector of Clewer Berks, says in the preface of his book for daily devotion, entitled The Treasury of Devotion, that his desire "was to supply a body of devotions in faithful accordance with the truest standards of the Church of England." On page 10 of this work this Protestant clergyman prays thus: "May the intercession of the holy Mother of God, of the Prophets, of the holy Apostles, of the Martyrs, help the•! , May all the Saints and Elect of God pray for me, that I may be worthy with thein. 'to possess the kingdom of God. Amen. May the holy angels, especially my own guardian, keep watch around me throughout this day, to protect me against the assaults of the evil one, to suggest to me holy thoughts, to defend me against all dangers, to lead um in the perfect way of peace, and bring me safe, at length, to my home in heaven." When this Protestant Minister prays to the angels and the Saints he asks only the assist- ance of their prayers. Previous to doing so he desires, he wishes that God would bless and prbtect hirn. This very desire or wish is in itself a direct prayer to God. In addition to this prayer to God, he calls upon inverhal or vocal prayer the angels and the saints -pure and holy spirits, loving and faithful friends of God, to assist hits at the throne of Mercy that he may the better obtain his prayer from God. 'Tts when he makes use of such a font) of prayer he is not alone praying at the throne of Grace. He has with 111111 pure and stainless spirits. The thousands of Protestants who use the Rev. T. T. Carter's Treasury of Devotion pray in the sante manner. This form of prayer though not strict- ly necessary for salvation, the Council of Trent tells us is "good and useful." Hence it is that Catholics often have recourse to such prayer. Admitting the fact that we can be saved without the prayers of others, yet we know from scripture that the prayers of others can avail us much. prayers cannot do too much in the work of our salva- tion. The misfortune is that we are inclined to risk too Much and do loo little for a work of such importance. The Rev. Canon Humble, a Protest - and clergyman, in "The Church and World," 1866. says : "The high morality of Ireland is owing, in great part., to the habit of the people (Catholics) going to confes- sion, and the low tone of ruorals in Scotland is. I fear, to be greatly at- tributed to the impossibility of having recourse to this sacramental ordin- ance." i)r. Forbes, a Protestant, and Tine of Het. Majesty's physicians, in his "Menairandunis Made in Ireland," says: "The result of my inquiries is that, whether right or wrong in n theologi- sal or rational view, this instrument of confession is, among the Jlish of the humbler classes, a direct preservative against certain for 1118 immorality, at least. " " Among other charges pre- ferred against the confession in Ire- land and elsewhere is the fac•ilit,y it affords for corrupting the ternale mind, arel of its actually leading to such cor- ruption. So far front such corruption resulting from the confessional, it is the general belief in Ireland -a belief expressed to ute by many trustworthy men in all parts of the country, both Protestants as well as Catho- lics - that the singular purity of female life among the lower classes there is, in a considerable degree, owing to this very circum- stance. With a view of tasting, as far as was practicable, the truth of the theory respecting the influence of con- fession on this branch of morals, I have obtained, through the courtesy of the Poor Law Commissioners, a return of the number of legititnate and illegitimate children in the work- houses of each of the four provinces of Ireland on a particular day. It is curious to remark how strikingly the results there conveyed correspond with the confession theory; the proportion of illegitimate children coinciding al- most exactly with the proportion of the two religions in each province ; being large *here the Protestant ele- ment is large and small where it is small?" Another writer, Mr. William Gil- bert, in an article in the Christian World, 1884, states that,: "While under the guidance of their priests, Irishwomen, as a class, enjoy, and with Pieties, -a., reputation for re- spectablility of comluet, unsurpassed,if equalled, by any women to the world." A few weeks ago the Rev. A, ii. Collonf pastor of the Sarah D. Cooper Memorial Church, Philadelphia, took for his text: "Blessed art thou among women," He said I "We call your attention to the hon- ored Mother of Our Lord, believing this subject has not syi'Iiciently engag- ed the attention of the Protestant, Church. The extravagance of divines on the ono hand, and their general silence on the other, leaves too little said In honor of her whom all nations should call blessed. This human in- strument, by which God gave His Son to the world should be honored. Her name should live in our memory and dwell upon our lips as do the names of the prophets and apostles. She was a distinguished favorite of Heaven, as some have rendered the angel's saluta- tion. "We ought notio pass by unnoticed a character so lovely as hers. Heaven bestowed on her more than princely honors. Hers was a superior kind, well stored with a knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. In her song of praise we see her knowledge of fall and re- demption through the promised seed of the woman. She reviews the past and celebrates the praise of God for His marvelous work and as one of God's double -sight- ed seers looks to the future and rejoices in what He would yet do for His Church. Those who are honored of God in His work are distinguished tor their knowledge of His word and faith in Hie power. "The Virgin Mary-[ do not hesitate to call her the Blessed Virgin, for an angel gave her the title -was distin- guished for her faith. Zacharias saw the apparent contradiction between science and revelation, and doubted. Not so with the Jewish maiden, when she heard the more mysterious an- nouncement, Thou shalt bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus.' Her question, `Whereby shall I know this? was, doubtless, inspired, as the answer furnishes the only key to the Lord's Itouraculate Conception. Among all examples of faith, none equals that of the mother (>1 the Son of God. As she was only human, she did not always understand herr Divine Son, hut when she did not she had His say- ing in her heart. "Her obedience to the Divine will should be imitated by all who love the Lord and would be co -laborers in sav- ing a world of sinners. When the an- gel told her how the Divine purpose would be accomplished, she replied, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto Inc according to Thy word 1' Such a spirit if manifested by all who are called of God into different. departments of His work, would al- most convert the nations Of the earth in a day. How many doubts might have prevented compliance with God's will, hut she obeys withoutdispiltation. No one ever left more in God's hands to be adjusted by Him when she said, 'Behold the hancrnaid of the Lord.' Our obedience may form a link in a cbnin of circinnstrnces whose wide sweep will save multitudes of sinners, and our disobedience cause as many to be lost. "The fact that Mary belonged to the humbler walks of life gives greater glory to the Son. Oh 1 the wondrous redeeming love 1 Christ assumed our nature, was born of woman under the law to redeem there that were under the law. The Virgin is honored, and a world is redeemed. This is good news for all people. If by woman roan re- ceived the fruit of which he ate and died, by woman he receives a Saviour on whom he may look and live. 'Be- hold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."' -Philadel- phia Ledger. Taking for his text "Why I am a Protestant." Dr. Gladden said : "In this hrief sketch of the ancient Greek Church with whirh most of you are not, I dare say, very well acquaint- ed, I have indicated by comparson, some of the principal features of the Rornan Catholic Church, with which you are somewhat better acquainted. Still it would not be safe to assume that. you are all very well acquainted with the Roman Catholic Church. People may live very e near together andnotknow each other verywell. Most of you have learned what you know about the Roman Catholic Church from hostile or prejudiced sources. We are inheritors of a hitter conflict, a religious conflict; and history shows that there ru•e no influences which so completely close the mind against the, truth as those which at•e engendered by religious strife. INVOCATION OF 'TILE SAINTS. "i have no doubt, for example, that most of you would say, unhesitatingly that Roman Catholics worship the saints, and the Virgin Mary; lout that is not quite true. There may he ig nor ant, ltolnarl Catholics of whore it is true; just, as there are a great many Protestants who believe that there are three Gods; het it is not the Catholic doctrine. All Catholics are taught that God, and God amine, is an object of worship; their catechism, as one auth- ority says, "demonstrates the great difference there is between the wanner of imploring God's aid and assistance and that of the saints; for it expressly declares that the Catholics pray to God either to bestow on them some hl(•ss- ing, or to deliver them from some mis- fortune; hut since the saints are more acceptable in His sight, than they are they beg to there to he their advocates only, and to procure for them such things as they want. For which rea- son the Catholics make use of two forms of prayer widely different from each other, for when they make their application to God Himself, they say, 'Have mercy on us l hear us!' But when they address themselves to the saints they only say, 'Pray for us! In all cases whether the prayer is direct or indirect, the favor is expected from God alone." "I am sure that this distinction is perfectly clear and intelligible; and yet'l doubt whether one Protestant in ten ever recognized it. Indulgences. DOCTRINE OF INDULGENCES. "So, too, with] respect to the doc- trine of Indulgences. I suppose that tnost Protestants believe that the Romram Catholics are able to purchase for money permission to sin; -that the Indulgence is a kind of license which is sold for mgney, to, gratify one's ap- petite and passions. Statements of about this nature have been made in school histories; and when Roman Catholics objected to such hooks, the Protestants have conte to the rescuer and declared that the obnoxious state- ments should nut, he modified.

No Catholic is ever able to procure any license tor future wrong -doing, Nothing like that was ever conceived of by any intelligent Roman Catholic, Nor is there any way of procuring absolution from past sins, except by confessing them to God, and receiving, through the priest, His pardon. The payment. of money has nothing to do with this. But the Roman Catholic doctrine is that a sinner who has confessed and forsaken his sins must yet do works Ines for f t lepenGLnce; that the Clhurc•h has a right to impose upon such a Ipenitent. certain works of penance. t is discipline prescribed for hint. on account of his transgression. Now tl;e Church holds that this discipline, which consists of fasts, pilgrimages, or other meritorious works, may be commuted by charitable gifts or dnnetinns of money. Just as the courts sometimes substitute fines for punishments. so the Church reserves the right to substitute contributions of this sort in lieu of her other discipline. But it, must he ob- served that an Indulgence can he granted only to one who has repented and confessed and been forgiven; that, in the words of Bishop Keane, it is not, the r•enlission rat' sin nor of the eternal punishment. due to sin ---still less is It a permission to commit sir) in the future. It is a modification of the Church discipline. “Doubtless the doctrine was itself grossly misrepresented and abused by those who in Luther's tinge went about kawking indulgences ; and the strong words with whirh Luther denouneed this abuse were well deserved. But we must. he careful when we talk shout, it to know not nler•ely what, extrayag- •int men have said in public harangues, but what is the real doctrine of the Church. Let me quote the defini- tions of this word in the Century Dic- tionary --A remission of the punish- ment which is still clue to sin after sacramental absnllition : this remission being valid in the court of conscience and before God, and being made by an application of the treasure of the ('hureh on the part of a lawful super- iors. "Indulgence cannot, he obtained for unforgiven sin. Before anyone can obtain for hinlself the benefit of an In- dulgence, the guilt must have been washed away and the eternal punish- ment, if his sin has been mortal, must have been forgiven." CIRCULATION OF FALSEHOODS. "I am sure that these defini- tions roust convince a good many of you that you have been told a great many things about Roman Catholics which are grossly untrue. In fact I think that tbere are very few Protestants rvho do not entertain very distorted notions about, Catholic belief. If it were not so it would not be possible for such execrahle forger- ies hs are constantly circulating through this community to have any currency - forgeries in which the most monstrous beliefs and pur- poses are attributed to Rrornan Catho- lics -beliefs and purposes of which they are as innocent as unborn ha hes. The black art of calumny has long been practiced in this world. One who is somewhat. familiar with the history of controversy has met with a good many samples of it; but it is my belief that nothing more wickedly (((1- uurnious was ever concocted than many of the stories ahout, Roman Catholic's which have been freely circulated through this community for the past two years. i suppose that many of those who have sir --dated these calumnies have believed them to he true. 1 have, therefore, taken pains to give you, in two simple instances, illnstratinns of the kind of nujust judgment which is current, that you may hewnre• of bearing false witness against your neighbor.
