THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 18G9. The C'onnrll of Trnil itnl the . Council ol sli Yiilicuti. Vmi the London Saturtiai lii rti'w. Tho Council of Trent, while It effected some moral reforms, Introduced, or rutlior ste.rcotyyfitl, new era of Lltnuiiontmie cxclusi veneris in tho Church. For the previous two centuries tho ry for ft searching reformation hud waxed louder and louder, find especially hinee tho ina H(euvriiiK of the Roman Court had frutrated the endeavors of the Council of Hatdo to patinfy it. Germany hurt nil nlonp: hoen foremost In urplng the "demand for a free representative Council. And when, at the bculnniiiK of tho sixteenth centurv, an ftRO of vet deeper prolli , racy was startled ly the trumpct-tonRMed chal lenge of a professed heretic and schismatic, who united the call to holiness with scathing denunciations of what was at, once the centre of corruption and tho central See of Christendom, even Home could no longer affect to ignore tho crisis. Hut she still adhered to her traditional policy of evasion, and dallied till the remedy came too late, Hctwccn l.MiO and 1M0 a bona Jidt. Synod, not dominated by I'apal legates, and fairly representing all the national Churches of Kuronc. might have availed to stem the tide, and secure reformation without precipitating a dchism. When at length, iu 1545, Paul III re luctantly assented to the assembling of a Coun cil nt Trent, it was transferred after a few months, on the Idlest pretexts, to the I'apal city of liologna, and soon afterwards separated for sixteen years. When it reassembled at Trent, in 15(12, Protestantism had already made its posi tion, and received the allegiance of half Kiiropo. The Council met, not to satisfy or even seriously to consider the complaints of the reforming party, but to draw the reins yet tighter on tho necks of those who eoidd still be coerced into nuhmission. "The Germans," to use the words of the Allijemcine Zeituny, 'might have applied to their own treatment what, on a later occa sion, the French diplomatists said to the Dutch, Alou traittron clwz vous, sur tons W, stum vous." It had been foreseen at Rome that tho German bishops, as a body, would be unable to attend, and a Hrief of Paul III provided, in de fiance of all former precedents, that their proc tors should have no votes. At the earlier ses sions of this Council, sitting in Germany and claiming to be (Ecumenical, there was present not a single German bishop, And only one proctor, who had no vote; in tho later sessions, one voting bishop and five proctors without votes. There was a small sprinkling of French and Spanish bishops and two hundred Italian bishops, who of course were practically Hupreme. Moreover, votes were taken, not by nations, as at Constance, but individually; anil it was ruled, njjaiu iu defiance of precedent, that the Papal legates should have tho exclusivo right of deciding what questions should be brought forward. Under these circumstances, we cannot wonder at what ensued. The German ambassadors of Ferdinand had demanded reform in the Curia, the restoration of the chalice, the marriage of priests, the revision of the breviary which is full of exploded fables the use of tho vernacular in public services, and the reform of convents. All these demands were seconded by the Cordidal of Lorraine and the French bishops, who also insisted on the superiority of Councils to Popes, and wanted the decrees of Constance and Basle in that sense to be con firmed. Every one of these demands was either evaded or refuted. '"For the lirst time." to quote the words of Hanke, "the Catholic Church owned the circumscription of its dominion. It (virtually) gave up all claim upon the East, and repudiated the Protestant half of Europe with countless anathemas." Instinctive distrust of the Teutonic peoples had long, Indeed, and increasingly shaped the policy of Rome, and had become matter of public observation. Spanish jurists, like Au tonio Gomez, supposed it was no secrrta EcrlesM Imperatori ricthntur. Hardly any Germans received the red hat, and none except Cusa and Sehomberg were allowed auy share in the Pon tifical Government. For the three centuries during which the Congregation of the Index has existed, though it lias condemned German books by wholesale, only two Germaus, and those monks in iioman convents, have ever sat upon it. Nay, more, it seems that the inequalities of earth are expected to be reproduced in Heaven. For six centuries, among multitudes of Italian, French, Spanish, and South Americau saints, only two Germans have been canonized Bishop' lienno, who was recommended by his extreme Ultramontanism, and Canisius, whose membership of the Jesuit Order condoned the stain of his birth. And who, asks the AI0c meine Ztitung, will dare to raise a warning voice nt the council now proclaimed, at least two thirds of which will consist of Komanizers, on behalf of the twenty-five million German Catho lics? Who will tell tho assembled fathers plainly that the Germans are no longer tin much-enduriug people who bore the yoke so patiently till at last, in 1517, it broke the" camel's buck; that the Catholics of Germany, who are closely intermingled with Protestants, who are versed in Protestant literature and enjoy free dom of the press, eaunot for very shame accept the tenet of Papal infallibility 'which throws contempt on Scripture, the ancient Church, his tory, aud human reason?" Who will caution them against the fond illusion that a handful of Jesuits aud their pupils, whose foreign educa tion has denationalized all their feelings, are trustworthy interpreters of the national mind ? and who will remind them that if a system of sheer terrorism com pels German theologians for the moment to bend their backs under the Caudine yoke of a newly-coined article of faith, it will never command their belief ? To the last they will continue German in all their feelings and thoughts, and will say "E pur si maovv! this Papal infallibility is an idle dream." When Leo X had made his Synod, of Italian prelates, pom pously styled tho Fifth of Lateran, decree the supremacy of tho Pope over Councils, kings, and nations, thus reversing the decrees of Con stance and Busle, he and his courtiers imagined that the Papacy had nttained.its zenith, and that the world would bo at its feet. A few mouths later a German professor posted his theses on the door of a church at itteu'jerg; ten years later Rome was sacked by a German army; "forty years later half Europe had finally revolted from Ler spiritual sway. This time no such outward convulsions are likclv to follow an L'llraniontano triumph. "There will le ft great calm," as Dr. Manning Bays, and the Jesuits and their allies wyll sing Hosanuah. The world will leave thByi to their Pyrrhic victory and its results. Fro! the. Council of Trent onwards their policy has been one of repression and terrorism. The Inquisition and the index have done their work, as Dr. Dolliuger pointed out some years ago, in destroying not only all intellectual, but ull theological energy in the countries where they have had free course. No man can write what Is wortli reading under a censorship; "beneath its iron heel no grans can grow." Theology shrank into tho dry husks of scholasticism and casuistry, biblical studies dis appeared, history became perilous ground, and the very nam of criticism excited suspicion and hatred. The learned Antonio Paleario was burnt at Rome, iu 1570, for his critical tastes imply. Belgium aud its University of Louvaln were under Spanish control; in Austria, Bavaria, and the Ecclesiastical Principalities of Germany, v the Jesuits were all-powerful and monopolized education; the rest of Northern Europe was Protestant, except France, which remained for awhile tho one refuge of theological study, and of the ancient doctrine of the Church. In Spain or Italy auy reference to tho famous canon of Constance, or any denial of Papal infallibility, was visited with Imprison ment and death. No one could safely meddle with theology who was not a member or a proterjt f one of the great religious Orders, and these are governed by a General resident at Rome. No priest who breathed a whisper against tho preva lent system could call his character or position worth a week's purchase, and no layman could impugn it who valued his head in lands where the Iloly Ollico bore sway. And the dead silence produced by this reign of terror was named in liolcmn mockery "the consent of tho Catholic Church," while all dissent was branded as Galli- can heresy. They make a solitude and call it peace. Indeed, but for France and the Galilean Liberties, which modern liltraraontanes term "the Gallicau servitudes," all historical or Uico- iofciwl literature wguia liave, cpirl, We. have examined elsewhere tho religious condition of the French Chnreh since tne revo lution, which is very different from what it was before. In the restof Catholic Europe, with tho exception of parts of Germany, much the satno system of spiritual tyranny "till prevails, thousth shorn, for the most part, of its secular terrors. No Roman Catholic priest of ordinary discre tion would venture to profess Galilean opinions in England; and the recent trcatmont of Mr. Ffonlkes and Mr. Rcnouf shows what any Roman Catholic writer has to expect who dares to run out of tho prescribed groove, though within the strict limits of Tridcntine orthodoxy. It Is not, therefore, without some reason that the ultramontane whips reckon on securing an easy majority at tho approaching Council. Tho Uiviitn already indulges jti a strain of cxultlnir nronheev. Tim r;iiwn mul Monte.mvc done their work in France, and most of the bishops are well primed to take the right side; the minority, it is hoped, will uo overuorne. ino open opposition is ex pected from other quarters. "Tho English bishops will follow Mannlmr: the Irish. Culleii both nominees of Rome, nnd thoroughgoing Romanizers; tho Belgians will swim with the stream; the elder German bishops will stay at. noine, me younger ones wno nave been trained by the Jesuits will come to a man: of the two hundred Italian prelates may lie said what the Archbishop of Rouen said of his clergy, 'We give the word of command, and they march like a iroop oi soldiers:' the same applies to the Spanish and South American bishops, who have been indoctrinated in this article of Papal infal- jiuiiuv Hum men- i-niiunoou .nu it must lie remembered further that the Ultramontane party is everywhere tar better organized than its opponents, just as the Tories with ourselves are always better organized than the Liberals. We can hardly wonder if the ( ictlta already raises its shout ol insolent triumph, in anticipation of seeing the coping stone speedily placed on me euince oi mpai aDsoiutism. lor three cen turies, by fair means and foul, by the combined machinery of the pulpit, the press, the lecture- room, and the conlWsional, by force where force was available, and by chicanery where it was not, the Jesuits have striven to enforce their darling doctrine, for the infallibility of tho Pope practically means their own. There is always "the black Pope" standing at tho elbow of the white. If they succeed, they will have accomplished, in tha .'silence which they miscon strue into consent, the most momentous revo lution in the whole history of the Church. We may sum up the significance of the change in words condensed from the Atljeinrini lunij: "According to this theory Christ lias made the reigning Pope the one vehicle of in spiration and exclusive organ of Divine truth. Without him the Church Is a body without a soul; during a Papal interregnum she is deprived of fight and spuech. Yet, strange to say, this fun damental verity was never even heard of in the Church for thirteen centuries. No creed, no catechism, no doctrinal instructions of the Fathers contain a word of the Pope, or a hint that on him depends all certainty of belief. Not a single doctrinal question for a thousand years was fettled by Papal decree, but either by Synod or by the general rejection of a new doctrine by the whole Church. Three Councils have anathe matized a dead Pope for heresy, and a long line of his successors has accepted and sworn to their anathemas. In the beginning of the sixth ceniury. the principle that 'the first See is judged of no man,' was lirst introduced, on the strength of a tissue of forge ries, into the Western Church: and it was gra dually inferred that, as he cannot be judged, he cannot fall into heresy. In the ninth century the Isidorian Decretals came in to aid the move ment, aud Gratiau's Dicri lum embodied them. Thomas Aquinas, who was himself taken in, wrote in defense of the new svstcm of Papal autocracy. The General Councils of Constance and Basle the very names of which the Jesuits arc striving to blot out of the memory of men emphatically condemned it, aud all the German and French, and nearly all the Spanish, theolo gians were on their "side. Only the so-called Fifth Lateran Council. "a mere as semblage of Italian prelates collected by Leo X in 1517. reversed their decision and nllirnicd the superiority of the Pope to Councils. Finally, with the outbreak of the Protestant Reformation came the assertion of Papal infalli bility, and the Cardinals Cajetan and Jacobazzi, who labored to propagate the notion, were the most effective auxiliaries of Luther. From that day to tills, the Order w hich arose in Spain, the chosen home of the Inquisition, lias made tho promotion of this dogma its grand mission, l'hey failed in the attempt to get it defined at Trent, but they look to see their efforts crowned in the Council of the Vatican." DICKENS OX HIS K EC EXT SICKNESS. A I Iv-Lenf in n IJIV. Once upon a time (no mutter when") I was en gaged in a pursuit (no matter what) which could be transacted by myself alone: in which I could have no help, which imposed a constant strain on the attention, memory, observation, and physical powers, and which involved an almost fabulous amount of change of place and rapid railway travelling. 1 had followed this pursuit through an exceptionally trying winter in an alwavs trying climate, and had resumed it iu England after but a brief repose. Tims it came to be prolonged until, at length and. as it seemed, all of a sudden it so wore mo out that I could not rely, with my usual eheerUil eonlidencc, upon myself to achieve the constantly recurring task," and began to feel (for the lirst time in my life) giddy, jarred, shaken; faiut, uncertain of voice and sight and tread and touch, and dull of spirit. The medical advice I sought within a few hours was given in two words: "Instant rest." Being accustomed to observe myself as curiously as if I were another man, and knowing the advice to meet my only need, I instantly halted in tho pursuit of which I speak, and rested. My intention was to interpose, as it were, a fly-leaf in the book of my life, in which nothing should be written from without for a brief sea son of a few weeks. But some very singular ex periences recorded themselves on "this same fly leaf, and I am going to relate them literally. "I repeat the'word, literally. Sly first odd experience was of the remarka ble coincidence between my case, in the general mind, and one Mr. .Merdle's as I lind it recorded in a work of fiction called "Little Dorrit." To be mrc, Mr. Merdlc was a swindler, forger, and thief, and my calling had been of less harmful (and less remunerative) nature; but it was all one lor that. Here is Mr. Merdle's case: "At first, he was dead of all the diseases that ever were known, and of several bran-new mala dies invented with the speed of Light to meet tho demand of the occasion. He had concealed a dropsy from infancy, he had Inherited a large estate of water on the chest from his grand father, he had had au operation performed npou him every morning of his life for eigh teen years, he had been subject to the explosion of Important veins in his body after the manner of fireworks, he had had something the matter with his lungs, he had had something the matter with his heart, he had had something tho matter with his brain. Five hundred people who sat down to breakfast entirely uninformed on the whole subject, believed before they had done breakfast that they had privately and per sonally knew Physician to have said to Mr. Merdle, 'You must C?meet. to ,r( nut. unnu t.iv like the snuff of a candle;' and that they knew Mr. Merdle to have said to Physician, 'A man can die but once.' By about 11 o'clock iu tho forenoon, something tho matter with the brain became the lavorite theory against the field; and by ;1 i the something had been distinctly ascer tained to be 'Pressure. "Pressure was so entirely satisfactory to the public mind, nnd seemed to make every one so comfortable, that It might have lasted all day but for Bar's having taken the real state of the case into court at half-past nine. Pressure, how ever, so far from being overthrown by the dis covery, becamo a greater favorite than ever. There was a general moralizing upon Pressure; in every street, ull tho people who had tried to make niouey and had not been able to do it, said, There you were I You no sooner began to dGYVtv' jwwU w the pursuit vl wltf, Uau rou got Pressure., The Idlo people improved tho oceasldn . In a similar manner. Sec, said they, what you brought yourself to by work, work, work! -You per sisted in working, you overdid it! Pressure came on, and you w ere done for.! . This con sideration was very potent in many quarters, but nowhere more so than among the yotin,r clerks nnd partner who had never been in the slightest danger of overdoing it. These, ono ami all declared, quite piously, that they honed, they would never forget tho warning as long as they lived, and that their conduct might be so regulated as t(f keep oil Pressure, ami preserve them a comfort to their friends, for many years." Just my case if 1 had only known it when I was quietly basking in the sunshluo In my Ken tish meadow. ? . . But while I so rested, thankfully recovering every hour, I had experiences more odd than this, I had experiences of spiritual conceit for which, as giving me a new warning against that curse of mankind, I shall always feel grateful to the supposition that I was too far gone to pro test against playing sick lion to any stray don key with an itching hoof. All sorts of people seemed to become vicariously religious at my expense. 1 received the most uncompromis ing warning that I was a Heathen; on tho conclusive authority of a field preacher, who, like, the most of his Ignorant and vain and daring class. could not construct a tolerable sentence in his native tongue or pen a fair letter. This inspired Individual called mo to order roundly, and knew In the freest and easiest way where I win going to, and what would become of me if I failed to fashion myself on his bright example, and was on terms of blasphemous confidence with the Heavenly Host. He was in the secrets of my heart, anil in the lowest soundings of my soul he ! and could read the depths of my nature better than his A B C, and could turn me Inside out, like his own clammy glove for such dirty water as this could alone be drawn from such a shallow and muddy source 1 found, from the information of a beneficed clergyman, of whom 1 never heard uud whom I never saw, that I had not, as 1 rather supposed I had, lived a life of some reading, contemplation, and inquiry; that I had not studied, as I rather supposed I bad, to inculcate some Chris tian lessons in books; that I had never tried, as I rather supposed I had, to turn a child or two tenderly towards the knowledge and love of our Saviour: that I had never had, as I father sup posed 1 had had, departed friends, or stood be side open graves: but that I had lived a life of "uninterrupted prosperity," aud that 1 needed this "check, overmuch," and that the way to turn it to account was to read these sermons "and these poems, inclosed, and written and issued by my correspondent! I beg it may be understood that I relate facts of my own uncommercial ex perience, and no vain" imaginings. The docu ments iu proof lie near my hand. Another odd entry on "the fly-leaf, of a more entertaining character, was the wonderful per sistency with which kind sympathizers assumed that I had injuriously coupled with the so sud denly relinquished pursuit those personal habits of mine most obviously incompatible with it, and most plainly impossible of being main tained, along with it. As all that exercise, all that cold bathing, all that wind and weather, all that up-hill training all that everything else. say, whick is usually carried about by express trains in a portmanteau and hat-box."and par taken of under a llaming row of gaslights, iu the company of two thousand people. This assuming of a whole case against all facts and likelihood struck me as particularly droll, and was an oddity of which I certainly "hud had no adequate experience in life until"! turned that curious llv-leaf. My old acquaintances the begging-letter writers came out on the lly-leaf, very piously indeed. They were glad, at such a serious crisis, to offer me another opportunity of sending that rost Utlice order. I needn t make it a pound. as previously insisted on; ten shillings might ease my mind. Aud Heaven forbid that thev should refuse, at such an insignificant figure, to take a weight oft the memory of an erring fellow-creature ! One gentleman of an artistic turn (and copiously illustrating the books of the Mendicity ISocictv) thought it might soothe my conscience in the tender re spect of gifts misused. if I would immediately cash up in aid of his lowly talent for original design as a specimen of which lie enclosed me a work ol art winch 1 recognize as a tracing from a wood-cut originally published in the late Mrs. Trollope's book bu America forty or fifty years ago. The number of people who were prepared to live long years al ter me, untiring Pelielactors to their species, for fifty pounds apiece down, was astonishing. Also, of those who wanted bank notes lor still penitential iiinoums to give away not to keep, on any account. Divers wonderful medicines and machines in sinuated recommendations for themselves into the fly-leaf that was to have been so blank. It was especially observable that every prescriber. whether iu a moral or physical direction, knew me thoroughly knew me lrom head to heel, in and out. through and through, upside down. 1 was a glass piece of general property, and everybody was on the most surprisingly inti mate tciins with me. A few public institutions had complimentary perceptions of corners in my mind, of which, after considerable self-examination, I have not discovered any indication. Neat little printed forms were addressed to those cor ners, beginning with these words: "I give and bequeath." W ill it seem exaggerative to state mv belief that the most honest, the most modest, aud the least vain-glorious of all the records upon this strange fly-leaf was a letter from the self-deceived discoverer of the recondite secret "how to live four or five hundred years ?" Doubtless it will seem so, yet tho statement is not exagge rative by auy means, but Is made in my serious and sincere conviction. With this, aud wi'th a laugh at the rest that shall not be cvnicnl, 1 turn the II y- lcaf, and go on again. GOVERNMENT SALES. s ALE OF UNITED STATES VESSKI.S.
