which has always sought to put ihe people
and oil cml government beneath its feet.
The P,ilorol Le'U r states thai, in daji
gone by, there has been great " forgetfulnets
of the extent of ihe authority which the
bishops exercise;" and among ihe melan
choly causes f this oblivion, is enumerated
" the attempt lo apply lo ihe Catholic Church,
in iho administration of the temporalities
bi longing lo her, principles and rulea foreign
to her spirit, and irreconcilable with the au
thority of her pastort." W ell, then, let ut
tee what this " authemic declaration " lays :
" Whatever is i ffered to God, and aolemn
ly consccraled to his service, whether it be
the material temple in which worshippers
assemble, or the ground set apart for Ihe
interment of those who repose in God't field,
awaiting ihe promised resuneclion, or pro-
I"'1!'. ,eal or personal, intended for ihe pur
pose if divine ser.ice, or for Ihe educatioo,

ery such tlin.g is sacred, and belongs to the
church, and cannot he withdrawn from lhe
service of Gud auhout the guilt of sacri

exercise no right of ownership over Ihem.
With these temporal things, ihua separated
fim common purposes, Htid set apart for
,lie service of the sanctuary, the church can-
diocese is Ihe representative and organ of
that authority, and, without his sanction, no
arrangement, howsoever in itself of purely
temporal nature, lhal has reference (o tell
gious worship, has or can have force or va

Thia is pretty p'ain end candid. The
bishops and clergy have not enough of au
thority, and they want more. And this, lhe.

disturbance of peace od harmony. Nolh.
