Letters From Rome on the Council Part 30

81 [Cf. _supr._ p. 348.-TR.]

82 [See an exhaustive article on the subject from a Catholic pen in the _North British Review_ for October 1869.-TR.]

83 [He refused to do so.-TR.]

84 This proved to be a mistake.

85 "Elle estime justement qu'elle a le devoir de ne pas favoriser la diffusion de l'erreur ou des attaques contre l'autorite des Vicaires de Jesus-Christ."

86 The infallibilists are of course luckier. Their writings are readily printed and circulated. At the same time with the writings mentioned above, Archbishop Spalding has published a letter to Dupanloup, emphatically denying that he had spoken against the opportuneness of the dogma in the paper he drew up with several other American Bishops, and declaring himself a zealous advocate for it.

87 [English readers may be referred to Renouf's _Case of Honorius Reconsidered_. Longmans, 1869.-TR.]

88 It is now understood to have been written by Dr. S. Mayer under his direction.

89 [See _Pastoral on Infallibility of Roman Pontiff_. Longmans, 1869.]

90 "Animadvertendum quippe est, quod in publica Sessione juxta Litteras Apostolicas _Multiplices inter_ d. d. Novembris 1869 Num. VIII., quo modus procedendi in Sessionibus publicis praescribitur, non liceat aliter suffragium dare, nisi pure et simpliciter per verba: _Placet_ aut _Non placet_, excluso alio quovis modo."

91 [Cf. _Ja.n.u.s_, pp. 382-4.-TR.]

92 [Since, that is, the Lateran synod of 1517 under Leo X.-TR.]

93 Tac. _Annal._ II.

94 Antonelli's, notoriously.

95 "Animes d'un profond respect pour l'autorite _legitime_ du S. Siege, nous sommes obliges d'autre part de preserver de toute atteinte presente ou future les rapports entre l'eglise et l'etat (as lately settled by the Concordat and the Const.i.tution). Nous joignons nos instances aux remonstrances du Gouvernement francais et nous nous croyons appeles a le faire d'autant plus, que dans le sein du concile lui-meme une grande partie des representants de l'eglise d'Allemagne, dont le devouement religieux est bien connu, atteste par son att.i.tude que nos craintes sont loin d'etre vaines."

96 "Si, diciamolo altamente, Pio IX. credette aver ricevuto speciale missione di definire la Immacolata Concezione e la infallibilita pontificia."

97 "Jure tam divino quam humano laicis nulla potestas in ecclesiasticas personas attributa est."

98 See Raynald. _Annal._ xix. ann. 1493, 22.

99 "Haec conditio pro Concilio Vaticano eo magis urgenda esse videtur, c.u.m ad ferenda suffragia tot Patres admissi sunt, de quibus non constat evidenter, utrum jure tantum ecclesiastico an etiam jure divino ipsis votum decisivum competat."

100 It appears from a pa.s.sage in Letter lii. that this severe judgment on the Prince Bishop was based on an erroneous report of his conduct in the papers.

101 "Jamvero infallibilitatem S. Ap. Sedis et Romani Pontificis ad doctrinam fidei pertinere ex allatis fidei doc.u.mentis constat, et contrariae illi sententiae a magisterio Ecclesiae non semel fuerunt improbatae. Cujuscunque ergo scientiae etiam historiae ecclesiasticae conclusiones Rom. Pontific.u.m infallibilitati adversantes, quo manifestius haec ex revelationis fontibus infertur, eo certius veluti totidem errores habendas esse consequitur."

102 "Al male dominante della licenza dei tipi, per cui il giornalismo nega e bestemmia ogni giorno, bisogna contraporre il salutare rimedio del Papa infallibile, che ogni giorno pu insegnare, condannare, definire, senza che mai sia licito ai cattolici dubitare de' suoi oraculi."

103 [The English Jesuit, Father Gallwey, says they will be like "the daily provision of manna" to the Israelites.-TR.]

104 He should have said "the Italian prelates."

105 Cf. _supr._ p. 517.

106 It will be seen from the protest afterwards published that this pa.s.sage was greatly toned down.
