Poasibly, this is a terrible offense-t-an unpardonable sin,—when *'Laicus Catholicus" is so near at hand, with all his ec clesiastical and clasical erudition, to! attend to that matter himself. But, then we beg him ,to remember, that, in this country, there is no exclusive monopoly of that kind, and that one man his as much right as another to express his opinions, even about the Pope and the Boman Catholic Church-—more especially when it is done in respectful terms. In the "Papal States," where the Pope is King, this is not allowed. But "Laicus Catholicus" should •j, understand that he is not now in the "Papal States," and that it may be harder work thart he supposes, to substitute the laws prevailing there for those existing here. Pope Pius IX. is now trying to do this, and is endeavoring to get the Vatican Council to aid him —pnd "Laicus Catholietts," anticipating their posible success, is beginning already, as a sort of avant coureur, to snap, and snarl, and bark at whosoever displays the impudence of attempting "to enlighten the1

which lie at the very foxndation of our institutions. Taking these all together we will give our understanding of what they contain, hoping if we arc wrong to set right.

The Pope denies that "every man is free" .to choose his own religion. He de nies th'at *'it is possible to be equally pleasing to God" in a Protestant as in the Boman Catholic Church. He calls all secret societies, bible societies, and cleri co-liberal societies "pests" which he say8 he had condemned four times before. He denies that a State has any right to enact a law to "define what are the rights and limits with which the Church may exercise authority." He claims that the ''ecclesiasticdl power must" exercise its au thority, "Without the permission and assent of the State." He claims that the Boman Catholic Church may "avail herself Of force" to maintain her authority and that her immunities are not derived from the laws of tie. State. He claims that wh.ere there is a conflict between the laws of the State and those of the Boman Catholic Church, the former must yield to the latter. He deriies that a State has any right to educate its children, by taking the "direction of public schools," and prohibits all Boman Catholics from assenting to any other kind of education, but that which is under the authority of ihe Bpman.Catholic Church. He insists that Church and State ought not to be separated. Be denies any validity to all laws of a State providing for the solemnization of marriage. He insists that the Boman Catholic religion shall be "held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other modes of worship." He refuses his assent to any prbvision in Boman Catholic countries, which allow? "that persons coming ta reside therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their religion." Abd, then, in condemning the 80th error, he declares that he cannot and "ought not to reconcile himself to and comc to terms with progress, liberalism and recent civilization."

But the Pope did not stop here. In his Encyclical letter of Dec.

Each man of intelligence can answer these questons for- himself. For ourselves, we have no wish to misunderstand what the Pope has said, in either his Encyqlic al or Syllabus. If wrong, we beg to be informed wherein we are so. These documents are accessible to many of, ihe readers of the Express, They are publish^ ed in Appletons' American Annual Cyclopesia for 1864, commencing onvpage 701 where they may be read by any one who desires to understand, them, ^appears to us that they are opposed to jthe genius and character of free government, as we understand it in this country.

it is our belief th^it when they come to be properly understood by aH the.Roman Catholics in the United States, very many of them will see thisj and repudiate them. We may be mistaken for we already^ confess ourselves surprised to see' "Laicus Catholicus" F© ready to accept them as of equal authority with the law of Cfod. Undoubtedly, he will not stand alone,*for there are many other. Jesuits in this coun try besides him. But, in our opinionthis abominable and execrable clocSrtne of "papal infallibility,^accompanied With the equally: abomina&le ahd ciecrijble doctrines of the Encyclical and Sjtllatyus, will causo many honest Roman.Catliolics to hesitate long before they will be. either! cajoled or driven into the support of doctrines which, if carried out must destroy the only really free popular government en earth. On the 24th of last month Professor Bjerring, professor of History1 in a Boman Catholic College at Baltimdre, addressed a letter to the Pope announcing: rhis purpose to leave the Church, oil account of the antichristfan tendency of these doctrines. Ilisi'Jetter which appeared in the Express ofthe l7ti insta'nt, will repay a perusal. We" have never read any book so severe ag'ainst these pretensions of tie Pope, as '!The Pope" and the Council" by Janus, just published in Europe and this country. ItB author is Dr. Doellinger of Munich, an eminent Boman Catholic, and one of the learned men in Europe. Bishop lotip of France is earnestly laboring! in the council to defeat '"papal infallity.'"! A late letter from Rome represents the German bishops as now united agakist itj—1 also that four English bifthops have abandoned the Ultramontane flag, and so have Bishop Purcell and Bislibp Kenrick of the United States. We do not look, however, towards the Council. Tiai body, we consider to be under the dictation of the Pope, and believe that it

Does the Church toler ate heresy If so, when did it begin?— Pope Boniface VIII., deereed that it is necessary to salvation that every creature be subject to the Roman pontiff —this "Profession of Faith" says that "no|one can be saved" except lie hold tie true Catiolic faith,—and the. law 'of the Ro man Catholic Church fequires that an episcopal oath of allegiance to the Pope shall be taken by all bishops, archbishop4, and others who receive dignity at his iands.: This oath not only binds tlieiq to deiend the regalities of St. Peter—regalia

Sahcti Petri,"— but contains this sentence, which may surprise some Protestants, and possibly be new, even to some Romaii Catholics :-r-"Hoereticos, sehismaticos, et re belles eidem domino niostro vel successoribus prasdictispro posse PKRSEQUA et impughgbo." Properly translated, this means: "Here tics, sehismatks, and rebel* to our said Lbrd, or his foresaid successors, I will, to my utuiost, PERSECUTE and oppose." How is this per cution and oppositioh to be carried oh if the Pope is declared infallible, and, has the power to-prescribe laws for all the world? llis infallibility conceded,: Ithci rest is plain. Pope Pius IX has lately decreed a "Pontifical Constitution" called "Apostolicae sedig"- wherein he has defined certain limitations to his power of censure and excommunication. He designates seventeen classes of persons as subject to excommunication "latae santentiae,' ambngst:whom' are the following 1. All Who teach or defend any proposition con demned by him. 2. Those who lay violent hands on the clergy. 3. All Freenuuo»s, mll the Carbonari, or any other society-of th6 name nature, all who abet these 'spcietses in any manner whatsoever, and'all who: do not denounce their secret meetings, Mid their leaders^ All these are declared absolutely

decree as he desires. But we do not think they will be able lo carfy all tie laity wilh them. We hope not, at all events '•Laicus Catholicus?' thinks it none of our business, but lie will learn that it is tie business of this whole country, when th£ Council shall do the bidding of the Pope For the present, while the Council sits the laity we considered as having no voice or influence in the matter. The hierarchy have it all their own way. On this subject the "New York Tablet," one of the leading Roman Catholic Journals in the United States, in the number for last Saturday, says: "That the bishops do not represent the Catholic people as their constituency is also true for they hold from God, not from tie people, and are set in

imiur excom-

All who read the books of Apostates and heretics, defending heresy, and Buch books as he shall prohibit. 3. All schismatics and others who "withdraw themselves from obedience to the reigning sovereign Pontiff."-* 4. All who dare appeal from him to a future General Council. 5. All who shall "kill, mutilate, strike, arrest, imprison, ro strain, Or hostildy persecute" any of his Cardinals, Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops, Legates or Nuncios. 6, All whoshall impede his exercise of ecclesiastical jurisdiction either "inforointerno1 'or "externa"— that, is, in ecclesiastical or temporial affairs,—and all who shall resort to the Secular Courts for that purpose. 7. All those who shall cause ecclesiastical persous to be summoned before lay judges and all who put forth laws or decrees against the rights and liberties of the Church. 8. .All those who "invade, destroy, ot retain, the States, lands, places, or rights belonging tothe Roman Church," and those who aid, advise, or abet them.

Here the power of excommunication is manifestly perverted from its true mean ing. Originally it was designed as a penalty for violaling the law of God, but in the

And now that the doctrine of infallibility is re vived, and there are so many to say that "when Rome has spoken that is the end qf the matter,"—because Christ has spoken,^— Pbpe Pius IX puts forth this new "pontific&l constitution," which, of course, has already, by the act of publication, become the (Stipremetewr of the Church.

Rome, to be governed in fullness of power. Him alone he made Prince over all PBOPMC and Alii. l^NQDOifg, to pluck up, destroy, scatter, consume, plant, and build." This power of excommunication, therefore, is» terrific power, as it is regarded by those who consider the Pope to be infallible It has 'shaken the world with more violence than an earthquake. How did "the fathers" view its effects? Thomas Aqui nas, the foremost theologian of the Roman Catholic. Church, said: "Quum quis per sententiam den uueiatur propter apostagiam excommunieatus, ipso facto ejus subditi a dominio et juramento fi/lditatis ejus liberati sunt"— which means, "when any one is denounced excommunicate by liis [the Pope's] decision on account of apostacy, his subjects are immediately freed from hm dominion and their oath of allegiance to him."

And yet "Laicus Catholicus" composedly .talks about the liberality and charily of his Church I He says: "In dubus libera tas, in necessarius unitas, in omnibus car itas." The compositor has probably made a mistake in this, as we know of no uch word as "dubus." We suppose he means "dubiis and if so, then his sentence, though very bad latin, mean3,—liberty in doubt or uncertainty, unity in necessity charity in all things. The sentence is very pretty and sounds very much like what a man would say when describingProtestantism. It has no appropriate place in the literature of Rome. As for the "in necessarias unitas," we understand the idea conveyed by it to be this:, that Catholics all agree that is, they all think the same way. This is considered one of the beau ties and gloriea of the system. Rut "Laicus Catholicus" has given us one of the most remarkable exhibitions of this kind of unity we ever lieard or read of. We said he now appeared in borrotoed pi mm

Perhaps this was wrong and that what we are about to state is a mere coinci dence, arising out of the peculiar effect of "iii necessarias unitas" upan two minds, at a distance from each other:—some people would call it mesmerism, but we like the "in necessai-im unitas" better. When we read his article Jit seemed to us that all the mast important part of it—the cream oft it,that which relates to theSyllabus and liberalism, was an old acquaintance. We were surewc had laid it by for reflection and.looking it.up,found-itallin an editorial article in the "N&a York Tablet," of Janua ry 2^d. Over forty lines of tie article in the Tablet^ "ate injected into the body of the article of *'Ixiicus Catholicus." He has rather clumsily transposed some of ihe sentences, but notwithstanding, has taken them word and letter. They con stitute the marrow of all-he hats said.^r Take them out of his article, and there is nothing left except the cursing, a little Latin arid French, and some unmeaning ribaldry- about Garibaldi, which would probably make the old Italian hide his head if lie knew it 1: But this is not all He has spoiled the Tablet editorial, which is exceedingly well written, by so transposing the sentences as to destroy the sense. This is unkind in "Laicus Catholicits." And it was also unkind in him to goto the Tablet of February 12th,—only a' few days- old,—and take another paragraph, word and letter, without telling where he got it1 And then it was still more unkind to take another sentence from the same article and put hard words into it. that the editor did not put, there. The original was not strong enough, ajrildb therefore, the injection of his^'own choice1 expletives. But then we suppose that all this is pro duced by the wonderful effect which "in necessarias unitas" has upon different minds! Who will douht after this that "Laicus Catholicus" is in favor of liberty— the largest possibl-s liberty—the liberty of deliberately gathering up the thoughts and very words of other people, and palming them off upon the community as his own! His whole article is made up of different styles, seemingly composed of extracts taken like tho?e from the Tablet, and thrown together without any skill. Some others of them appear familiar to us and we may look them up, for we have abundant material on hand In our opinion, the whole is bold and unblushing plagarism, except the denunciatory part. That iB undoubtedly his own He has a genius that way.

Now, we do not say these things unkindly, for while we-do not expect to enlighten hiib) we hope to reform him. He has inaugurated a discussion v/hich he must npt expect to-have all his. own way. Before it ends, he may find that "there are more things in Heaven and earth than are dreamed of in his philosophy."--
