Though his Church con: demos the Protestant versions 01 the Bible as spu rious, and directs its peopte to read their own authorized translation, which is abundantly within their reach, it does not authorize the burning of heretical Bides any more than the Protestant faith justifies the burning of Catholic Convents. If persons of either faith are guilty, let them h: condemned, and not their religion. The Bishop offered to pay half of all the expense of investigat ing this outrage. Ho says the Catholic Church does not allow its professors to thrust their hooks on those of a differdnt faith, nor require them to receive heretical books from others; but, having received them they would be deeply culpable should they outrage the feelings of those who hold them sacred by burning them.—Tribune.
