Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Times, and Correspondence of the Right Rev. Dr. Doyle, Vol. 2: Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin Wondrous statements and astounding statistics regarding the progress of proselytism found repeated expression from Lord Farnham´s lips, for which at the time he had to suffer many an intemperate retort; but historically we must regard this pious Peer rather as the deceived than the deceiver. "Weekly bulletins of the number of new converts from Popery," writes Mr. O´Neill Daunt, "were placarded on the walls, and suspended round the necks of persons hired to perambulate the public streets. Fourteen hundred and eighty-three converts were at one period announced as the fruit of Lord Farnham´s exertions in Cavan; but when Archbishop Magee went down to confirm them, their numbers had shrunk to forty-two. He kept open house for proselytes, who were furnished with soup, potatoes, and in some instances with clothes. Pauper Protestants sometimes enjoyed his hospitality under the pretext of being converts from Popery, and such Catholics as thought they could escape recognition among the multitude of strange faces, continued to be converted three or four times over, in order to prolong the substantial advantage of being fed, at a dear season, at the noble Lord´s cost. When the supply of food, &c., was discontinued, they returned to their former Church." So far, Mr. O´Neill Daunt. Dr. Doyle, although a churchman, refrained from noticing Lord Farnham´s speech on its strictly religious claims to attention. He passed by its local, and personal, and religious portions, "which would probably employ the pen of some caustic polemic," and took to account only that portion which was purely political. J. K. L. discussed it with the gravity and freedom due to the deliberate opinion of a distinguished leader of a party. Lord Farnham´s opinions, when disengaged from extraneous matters and superfluous words, were - first, that the Catholic Claims must be conceded, if the Irish Catholics continue in their present strength of numbers; secondly, that if these claims be conceded, the Church Establishment must fall; thirdly, that a consequence, not remote, of such concession would be the utter separation of the two Islands. J. K. L. examined in detail each of these propositions. The first he pronounced to be undeniable, and that it was as easy to stop the course of the sun as to impede the progress of reason and justice which had arisen to liberalize the Protestant and liberate the Catholic.
