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.
