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.
