Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Roman Catholic Claims, as Involved in the Recent Aggression, Impartially Considered: And Shown to Imply a Supremacy Over the Realm of England That Is Neither Justified by the Emancipation Act, Nor Excused by Any Liberal Measures of Government, Nor Consistent With the Free Action of the State The "re-establishment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy" in this island is a matter of deep and solemn importance. It is so irrespective of any differences of creed or party, for all have something at stake, - all are concerned in a measure that is hostile to both civil and religious liberty. The events of the past few weeks have shown that the country is alive to the importance of this question. There has been an attempt to distract her by division, to calm her by gentleness, and to delude her by sophistry, but she is not to be misled. Her energies are aroused, and, true to her own interests, she resolves to resist either the secret or the open advances of the Church of Rome. "After the news reached England of the measure being completed," says Cardinal Wiseman, "a pause of a few days ensued, as if the elements were brewing for the storm. Then it burst out with absolute fury; every newspaper, with a few honourable exceptions, seemed to vie with its neighbour, of most opposite politics and principles, in the acrimony, virulence, and perseverance of its i attacks; Liberal and Conservative, Anglican or Dissenting, grave or light as their usual tone and character might previously have been, the energies of all seemed concentrated upon one point, that of crushing, if it were possible, or denouncing at least to public execration, the new form of ecclesiastical government which Catholics regarded as a blessing and an honour." Accepting this, when weeded of a few expressions, as a fair account of the unanimity with which the new hierarchy has been opposed, we naturally think that a question which could bring together persons of such different and often opposing sentiments must touch upon common principles, and affect our united interests. What, short of this, could have calmed our mutual contests? For some time after the hierarchy was constituted there was little heard of mutual jealousy, and only a voice here and there told us that we were not one.
