THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 187ft THE HOMAN COUSCJL. From the tall rtl Oattite. It is carlo tin to compare the very general and deep interest taken by all observers in the early deliberations of the Council with the equally marked indifference to the culmi nation of its labors. Every rumor that came from Rome bix or seven months ago was can vassed with great eagerness even by men who cared little for ordinary theological dis putations; while the proclamation of the as tonishing dogma of Papal infallibility has produced in any but ecleMastical circles little beyond a certain amount of perfunctory criti cism. The main cause of this contraHt rs, of course, not for to seek. A man, according to Sir W. Hamilton, is only capable of notioing 4 objects at once by an instantaneous action of the perceptive faculties. Whether that be true or not, it i3 at least certain that public attention cannot be oocupied by more than a very limited number of interests. The gigan tic gooseberry only comes out when every other topic has for a time retired into the background; and matters of considerably greater importance than gigantic gooseber ries are cast into the shade by the portentous convulsion through which Europe is pissing. While we are waiting with breathless attention for the first crash of contending armies on the Rhine, we can only spare such interest for less exciting topics as might be given by a philosopher undergoing a critical surgical operation to a discussion on first principles of theology or metaphysics, lie might admit in theory even at such a moment that the question of his own pain or death was of altogether secondary importance as compared with the decision of some fundamental speculative dogma; but, for all that, he would think a good deal less about logic than about the sur geon's knife. The roar of the cannon and the mitraillenr effectually Bilences for the pre sent the theological utterances of the learned Fathers at Rome; the material thunder is for the moment a good deal louder than the spiri tual, whatever may be the ultimate conse quences involved. Yet it is also probable that even if the war had not broken out, the decline of interest would have been strongly marked. The out side world was beginning to be keenly sensible to the ludicrous side of the long debates at Rome. That a set of ill educated priests should be gravely discuss ing on what terms a supernatural degreo of wisdom had been conferred upon one or more of themselves, when nothing can be plainer than that they are on the whole rather more ignorant and a great deal more prejudiced than their neighbors, seems to independent people as absurd as that the decision of such a ques tion should bo brought abont by the same kinds of acts which determine the votes of an American caucus. The imagination, to say nothing of the reason, altogether refuses to accept Buchaprocessasjthe means by which the Creator of the universe reveals His pleasure to mankind. The notion that the discus sion carried on at the Vatican could have any possible significance for modern . reaaoners, or that intelligent people should change their minds because a disciplined crowd of Italian bishops could clamor down a minority of candid and able men, seemed so preposterous that we wtro gradually ceasing to have any leeling beyond a certain sympathy for liberal Catholios. Their posi tion is nndoubtedly a sod one, and they have too many claims upon our respect not to ex cite sincere commiseration. Perhaps we might ask, What better could they expect, and how could able and liberal men hope to mix themselves up with everything that is bigoted and narrow-minded without suffering bitter humiliation ? Yet in aay case their ambition was a generous one, and the dream of reconciling the Roman Catholic Church with modern thought, if only a dream, was worthy of noble minds. We must feel some regret, though very little surprise, that it has received so rude a shock, and that the chasm between old and new modes of thought is thus made wider and deeper than ever. This feeling, however, can only con cern a very small though a very respectable class. To the great mass of believers, as to the unbelieving world outside, the new dogma will not at first make any appreciable difference. To the man who is incapable of reasoning, or who has voluntarily abnegated his reasoning powers, the precise form of the doctrine in which the infallibility of the Chr.rch is preached will have small signifi cance. By far the greatest part of mankind must be reckoned among these classes ; and to them the only difference will be -that they will have a rather more definite and tangible authority than formerly. Nor, indeed, is the logical difference very material to persons with more nse of their under standings. The real difficulty is fiot in at tributing supernatural authority to the Tope rather than to the Church or to Councils, but in attributing it to any body of human beings whatever. The Ultramontane theory may bring out the assumption in a more gro tesque form; but it is equally present, how ever carefully it may be concealed or diluted, even in the most liberal forms of Catholi cism. For these reasons, as well as from the ab sorbing interest of other matters, we may be inclined to look with comparative indiffer ence upon the vote of the council. And yet we might perhaps ask whether after all an observer, who could elevate himself to a thoroughly philosophical point of view, would not regard the decision as scarcely yielding in real importance to that which de pends upon the arms of France and Prussia. Philosophical historians are fond of remind ing us how much sometimes depends upon causes which attraot little or no attention from contemporary observers. An insignifi cant student may be working out theories which are destined to revolutionize the whole social order of mac kind, or a single mechanical invention may, in the accepted phrase, be changing the whole course of history. Per haps if we were capable of seeing things in their true proportions, Watt's labors upon the steam engine or Whitney's invention of the cotton-gin might, as economists some times tell na, have more influence upon the future of mankind than all the labors of the skilful diplomatists who fancied that they were shaping the destinies of nations. And if a purely mechanical invention may produce incalculable effect, it is certain that the spiritual crises, which often excite as little contemporary notice, may be of primary importance. The .vote of the council is a symptom, and may be a cause, of a revolution of sentiment, which must in future be reck oned among the most critical movements of the present day. We have certainly no disposition to deny ahe vast importance of the issues which are now in the course of decision by the physical forco of the two most powerful races of Euiope. Whatever be the end of the war, it can scarcely fail to affect the destiny of the civilized world for many generations to oome. The unification of Germany, or the extension of the French frontier to the Rhine, are not matters of which anybody can think with indifference. If the war is only a brutal way of deciding who is in the future to be cock of the school, the future cock will have enormous power over the development of the European races. It is, indeed, already evident that besides the immediate cause of quarrel there are questions at stake wbich we conld wish to have been deoided by different means, but which are great enough to be proportionate to the magnitude of the machinery brought into play by the comba tants. And yet, great as are thesje issues, it may be disputed whether they are really of ninth more importance than those which are t fleeted by the (Ecumenical Council. The Church of Rome undoubtedly exercises, and will for an indefinite period con tinue to exercise, an enormous influence throughout the world. Both in Europe and America it is diffioult to sy how much may depend upon the spirit by which it is animated. It has been said by intelligent observers, though we do not profess to give an opinion upon a remote future, that the next great struggle in America will turn upon religion; and that the Roman Catholio power, growing by emigration and by the amazing powers of multiplication of its Irish subjects, will some day come into violent conflict with the tendencies of the Democratic republic. Already there are symptoms of such a danger in the battle against the common school system which has begun in seme of the States. Obviously, it cannot be without significance in regard to such dis putes that the Church should openly; and avowedly declare war upon all modern intel ligence; that it should say in substance to its adherents, You must believe on the authority of the Pope doctrines which are demonstra bly false, and within a certain sphere aban don all the principles whioh you specially boast of maintaining in politics and science. So, again, it is not a trifle that in a country like Germany, which, as we have been re cently assured, is already inclined to consider the Christian theology generally as a collec tion of old fables, the ablest and most learned believers should be informed that in future all compromise is impossible, and that sci ence and Roman Catholicism are to be at deadly and open war. It is needless to go into detail, or to speoulate how far liberal Catholics will manage by skillful modes of interpretation to reconcile them selves to the dogma, or how far tbey may be driven into open schism. The meaning of the new dogma is that the purely reactionary party has gained a new weapon of great power, and will have a more exclusive command of the Roman Catholio Church than ever. The greatest religious force in the world is to be given over more completely than ever to the hands of its most superstitious section, and the results of modern thought to be more emphatically de nounced. The present day seems to be one both of religious and political centralization. The political tendency is to gather all nations more decidedly than ever under two or three great powers, and to diminish the safety of the smaller neutral bodies; and it seems that the same process is taking place in a theological sense, and that as every nation over a vast area must be either French or Prussian, so every believer must be either an inf allibilist or an infidel. That, at least, is the natural ten dence of the warfare which is going on in the two spheres, and which would tend, in defiance of all moderate counsels, to collect all mankind into one of two camps. It might be difficult to say which tendency will have the greatest results in the long run, though there is no doubt as to which makes the greatest noise at the presont moment.
