THE PRESENT POSITION OF TOPE PIUS IX.
A SERAION
Preached at St. Patrkk's Cathedral an Sunday Awn
ing. January. 7th,
V IIT: REV: 131.1101. EIVOUSI.
' In two name'of the- Father, the Bon; and the
Hely Most, Amen: I am about to read as the
subject of the remarks which I intend to offer, the
entire 12 It Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.
(Bishop Hughes lead the chapter specified, and,
then continuerlhis discourse as follows.)
There are times, my- beloved brethren, in the
history of the Christen Phurch, when men are
so agitated and disturbed by the developments of
human passions and' of human projects on the
earth, that it is necessary, or expedient at least, for
those who believe,to return to the recollection of
first principles. The Utility of this will be found
in the feet that principles are eternal and immu
table, whereas all that is not principle, is netts- I
varily subject tor the vicissitudes of times rind of
circumstances. Mit recently, we Catholics, ex-
tilted, perhaps with a presumptuous joy, at the
apparent favor with which this world seemed, to
regard our religion and our doctrine, and with the
correction of its own judgmerit, with which it be
gan to review our history. At the same time, I
every breeze from the East brought with it tid
ings 06 accessions to the fold of Christ—aud ac
cessions not from the class that arc . least esteemed,
in this world, but accessions from the ranks of
the elevated, of the editcated, of the powerful, of
the noble. Even now we can enumerate, within
a period of but a few years, about one hundred,
formerly Protestant clergymen of the most distin
guished cheracter even before their change, who
base relinquished the fortunes of this world, and
have attached themselves to the poverty of the
Catholic Cross.
We, perhaps, took complacency in these events,
and we supposed that God was about to open to
his Church a certain glorious career of prosperity,
and that from thee time forward, she end her doc
trines would be the rallying points of perplexed
minds, around which Abe heterogeneous systems
should ultimately congregate, Seal frdm her should
lierive.a . new and necessity principle : life for
the w orld that is and the world that is to come.
We do not say that these things leis about to
cease; but in the midst of this feeling, tiding.
have reached us that the*supreme pastor of the
Church of God Cur earth: the Pontiff, whose acs
scallion to the pupal throne has been hailed, not
merely by Catholics, but by Protestants, by all
the civilized nations of the earth, so to spesk7—
the Pontiff who, (or the first time, it'is said—said
falsely, however—untertook to • Conciliate' the
truths of religion with the best interests of human
liberty—the Pontiff who was supposed to seize
the favorable moment, the turning tide, as it were,
in the history of human civilization, „and who
placed himself in the front of the mover ent—the
Pontiff who began his reign by enlarging the
freedom of his people, and -opening the prison
doors of political captivity, who struck the fetters
from the indecent; because it was his' duty, ;end

that this sundPontiff is himself now a fugitive--
that this same people, and, be it known, one of
those whom he released from the dungeons of it
political- captivity among the foremost of them,
have driven hie] from the sepulchre of 81. Peter,

There is nothing very new in this: fur it is not

*bola be at the moment which presents the
supreme pastor of the Church in en attitude so
glorious as that now occupied by Pope Pine IX.
For, be it observed that the crime attributed to his
'predeceriors by the wicked was a certain species
of enmity to the progress of liberty. They were
looker/ upon as obstacles, impediments in the way
of progression. He, on the contrary. was,hailed
with acclamations by this same world, as one who
reversed the polTcy of the Holy Bee, and adopted
the prirsciptea of freedom. He made hie people
free—comparatively, at least; he threw open the
doors of the prisons of his State ; and, by way of
showing the recompense which a good man may
expeit from a wicked world, the fetters which he
struck from the bands of others they themselves
were. the first to fasten upon his own.
The aatilt is no fault of the Pope;therefore.—
Let that world which is so clamernos for freedom,
account for it. The opinion of all sober-minded .
and reflecting men will be opposed to this wicked
persecution. That their cause has been injured,
that even the ardent friends of Liberty will shrink
bark affrighted at the accesses that have been
perpetrated in its name, is sure. And if tyrant'
shall again combine to crush this young =cister—
ns its seems to develop itself as a monster—there
need be no fear; for, according to the law, of
humanity, their conduct on ibis occasion is cal
cialated for no other possible result.
My dearly beloved brethren, it is a consolation
to know that this people shall not succeed against
the Lord's anointed. And the reason of this is,
that whenever God appoints to any situation of
trust, he always gives the grace and the means to
the appointed to actennplish the duties of that sit.
nation; that what God has instituted, what he
has commanded, what he has established, and es
tablished for an eternal duration, he will never
abandon. And since we know that Saint Peter
himself, and his successors, es heirs of the office
to which he was appointed—that Saint Peter, in
the first instance, is pronounced by the Saviour
of .men as the rock on which he should build his
Church; against which the gates of hell ehould
not prevail—we have there, to counterbalance the
wickedness of the world, the eternal reracqg of
Mc /icing god; and now. the qUestion will be
between the-strength of the sacrilegious usurpers
and the God of Heaven. If all other means fail,
Iwe have faith to believe that to-day, as in the day
of Peter, God win send an angel, and that angel .
will he.found in two offices, one securing liberty
to the head of the Church, andtlee other striking
with the judgment of vengeance those who have
attempted to deprive lii*of it. There are tholl
among you, perhope, who are old enough to re
member, in the drat French Revolution, under
whet was called the Republic, the captivity of
Pius VI. how he was seized and carried away,
and died in captivity ; how his successor. Pius
VII. was elected, not on the soil of the Roman
Stater, but in exile and banishment ; and how he,
in his turn was carried away. hike Peter in the
prisons of Herod, so was he in the apartments of
Fontainbleau—under guards and under sentinels.
although his master, de at least the mister . of hie
liberty, affected the re teat friendship toward
him.
'We have seen these-things. We remember an
anecdote which will illustrate at once much of
what we' have to say upon the subject. The
_Emperor' of Mat great power -which greW. out of
the,Frthicb Republic cheriohed as a favnritepolicy,
the idea of b,inging the Pope to reside in his do
minions—appointing bin the moot splendid es
tablishment and income, far greater than that
which the poverty of the Pontifical State could
efftrd ; for the Emperor was a polPician, as well
as •- warrior and conqueror, end he understood
perfectly well, sccon:ing to his mode of calculation, -
how important it would be to have under his con
trol the voice and the pen of :hat feeble old map
whom threebrisrian world venerated as the first
and chief of iii pastors. He thought to break
down the spirit of the Pope in prison; he thought
to weary him nut, and toobtain his consent, fin
ally. On one occasion, to test how farhis exper
iment
was snecersful, be sent one of bis Secre
taries-to him with a message, which had too much
sagacity to allow the Secretory to' understand,
viz: That he sent his beet respects to the Holy
Father, to inquire about his iteplth, and to know
-particularly if there was anything which his Ma—
jesty could do to gratify him and to render his
situation more comfortable. The Pope under
stood, though the Secretary did no', and replied
in the language which belongs to Popes vimd will
ears,s belong to them, showing that they are
above Emperors, above Kings, above kresidente,
above all human: power. His reply wee, .Say to
Majesty.how grateful I am that he should
have time to remember* poor old man in prison ;
and, en for my wants, say also that..l have none.
My cassock, indeed, is wearing out, and, if I had
the means at hand, I aright beguile the hours of
aly solitude - by repairing • it." As the Secretary
did not understand the pith or purport of the
message, so, naturally, he could not comprehend
the meaning and fullness of the reply. :After re
peating tohis Majesty, what he had heard, ha
went about saying, what can yatt do with in
old man like that: he does nut understand hie
interest" Truly nothing could be done with
him. He is a man unconnected witly-this world,
except in his relations to the Papal Stated over
which he exercised temporal powers. He is dee,
tined for-another purpose.: He is a man, not de
eceirdeal from a long line of illustrious royal . en
cestry.ner about to transmit power to his posteri

merit as human judgment supposes, but always
by' the providence of Gad, to fullfil a station which
God has appointed, of which God is the guard.
ion. of which God-is the avenger when that sta
tion is outraged by eacriligious violence. Why,
in a little; as it were, in the very next vitae of
the same chapter, how greatly does the scene
change, and just es the angel struck Herod, ao
also that splendid Imperial Majesty which aston
ished the world by hie conquests and by his poli
cy, was prostrated, wss compelled to exchange
the din of war, the glory of victory end the
splendor of empire for a solitary, comfortless
dwelling-place on a barren rock. And if be ex
pired, we trust it was in sentiments far different
from thorn which accompanied the fast moments,
of the Jewish tyrant ; for we know, that that same
Pope survived to send the messengers of religion
to console the dying Emperor, es he languished
far removed from the eceries of his former earth
ly greatness,. At the time when the Pope was a
captive, who' could have forseen this. I would
take occasion to 'request that you should writs
down the names of Pope Pins IX, and the events
of the closing months of 1848, end the names of
the partiei who have taken the lead against the
head of the Church. Write. them down, end
wait till you see how God will dispose of ene
side and of the other. and how well he will order
and direct and bring oat of this the vindication of
his eternal promise.
Naturally, my beloved brethren, alftnen cherish
the love of liberty. It is anitnpulle, it is a need
of our nature; but at the same time we may 'not,
I in treating of a subject like that, indulge ideas
which belong to the world of possibility and of
theory. We must take mankind as mankind is;
ars:tell experience goes to establishone fact, that
mankind is, nuw,at feast, s fatlenzace—that from
the period when man refused obedience to his
God, he forfeited liberty, and that be is never again
to enjoy it, except in a-degree, - mme or less, ac
cording to - circumstances. You perrnive, on all
sides, if you read history—you perceive in the
State . ; and under every form-of Government, that
the greatest friends of liberty, the apostles, the
would-be martyrs of liberty; when they are them
'elves under the authority of °them, scarcely reach
the acquisition of the power which tempted; their
ambition until they, in their turn, become tyrants,
and oppress sometimes even their own colleagues
and those who depend upon them. This ii the
history of mankind. Therefore, •therels 110 ure
in speaking of liberty, as it might be "in a world
'of angels. Liberty most be' such as Man, in his
present condition, is competent to; and, in, that
Case, I; exebut one division. I see throughout
the world, w herever there is anything approach
ing to civilization, but two classes; one the few

this Church should be a subject I If we take
our first inference from, the testimony of History,
we shell see apparently that this veto not the in

eantist for the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic
Church—and so much so thati.tron the moment
ho has fallen under the power of any humane

never permitted them to discharge the-functions
of their elevated office under the suspicion of being
forced thereto by human authority. Look at
them through the first two hundred and fifty years
of the Christian era. Here you will find that nearly
all have been martyrs; but during their martyr
doin, when they dared not appeal to Paganism
and its sacriligioas judges, who only waited their
appearance to consign them to the scaffold. where
did they seek liberty 1 In the catacombs of Rome.
and the wild places and eaves of the earth—the
mountain* and the solitudes; but wherever; they
were, always -maintaining freedom. And when
ever by - accident that freed9na was abridged; then
they considered that life, that their life, vras,no
longer worth preserving when it was no longer
useful to the Church, and they sealed their Iraq
mony by surrendering it.
Afterwards, do you not perceive how God so
disposed that the Popes should, acquire freedom
from human authority, without any plan or design
of their own. Who that is familiar with the de
cline of the Roman .Empire wi I not perceive_
something Providential in the fact that, without

stance compelled-them, little by little, to assume
the sovereignty of a small province in .the Italian
peninsula.
In the first instanee, - When Constantine and his
successors, so engrossed in the Petry, dark•mind
ed end tyrannical intrigues of their Eastern Court,
and so betroubled with the theological discussions
in which they so impiously took pert, so absorbed
and soenervated by tholuxuriousness of their lives,
left, the Italians, as it were, a prey to the invasions
of their barbarian enemies,—under these circum
stances how often do we find the Pope writing to
the Emperor, beseeching him to send troops for
their defence—these troops never sent—finally,
the barbarians themselves taking possession ofthe
fairest provinces of that NVestern Empire, and
even they, Pagans, or only half Christi , lans--for
many of thent.were Atian heretics—oven they
always abstaining, with a certain species of rever
ence, and never presuming to fix their sovereign

acquired, the great conqueror of the Eighth
Century, Charlemagne, conferred by an outward
title which is called a gift, bpt, in point of fact,
it was a restoration, and his successors speak of it
in that light.. •
This took place on thousand forty-eight years
ego.—From that limo the Pope has been the
Sovereign'of that limited province, the Patrimony
of St. Peter, so called; and during the ages that
have intervened, while, if you look over the mop
of Eurtipe,,you will 61111 that there has not been a

pen, (12 t the dominions of 'the Pontifical. States
ere a .
limited to-day as they were the day they
were t given 7 How does it happen, that they
who,possessad universal power, even over Kings,
did, not tike advantage of this to extend the sphere
of their temporal sway 7 The reason io, that the
Popes have never been actuated by the ambition
of universal &minion tnjemporal matters; as has
been so frequently drama upon them. They
ere ignorant, profoundly ignorant, who charge
them with it.
In his dominions the Pope has been a Sover
eign; he has been cti r gished by his people as a
father. If there has been a fault in his government
it has been the fault of leniency and mercy, and
the want of harsh policy. There, in a word, that
Government has subsisted during a period longer
and is now older than any other Monarchy in this
world. Itlis not essential that tbe'Pope should be
Sovereign' of Rome, hut it is essential that between
the two conditions, the one of subject and the other
of Sovereign, the Pope, the head of Christendom,
shall be free; that is to say, he shall he so placed
that he shall be subject to no man, be ho Kiug or
President.
If they tell you spun, that the Popes have
meddled with the peace of nations throughout the
world; that they have disturbed the rale of Gov.
ernruents. I say, in reply', that they are profound
ly ignorant,that Popes have never done such things
except as consequente of the office which God ap
pointed them to fill.
Whet is the explanation of this? It ia exceed
: it is, that by religion Cumpe was
civilized; that it owes all its civilizatlon to the
Catholic Church. Yau rrie that in Airica, along
the Coast of the Mediterranean, in which there
was a beginning and pregrevive civilization so
long as the people remained connected with Rome;
the momentlhat that utihn was interrupted, bar.
bariem stilled down upon the land,; and you will
find from that pesiOd to this there has been no in
crease of civiliz diem,
" The Dsrbariaar of the North, wish settled on
the ruing of the Homan Empire, came under the
divine laws of the Church, end by her divine in
fluences, were civilized. This is a preliminary
remark you must never forget ; it is the key and
explanation of what men ascribe to the ambition
of the Church. They were boundi therefore, to
observe the Jews of the Church, and the Pope
was the appointed executor of those laws. If,
therefore, nut to enlarge upon the subject which is
so ample, you will allow me to concentrate Ulm
one or two points the causes of all these troubles,
I can enumerate them. The first and greater
cause has been the licentiousness of the secular
Princes, even though members of the Church and
prokssed Catholics, yet having ample power ac.
cording to the secular order in the State, they bore
with impatience another power in the world that
put restraints and limits upon their bad passions.
It was no easy matter to introduce among such a
people, and especially among such etude order of
sovereignty, the sMgle law which is the founda
tion of all that is elegant, pure and refined in hu.
man society, the sanctity of marriage.. You will
find that a vast number of these questions resolve
themselves into that, and that these monarchs
found it exceedingly irksome that they 'should be
held to the law that bound their subjects. I need
not assert this ; I suggest, it, and appeal to every
page of history whether it is not found just. To
prevent the monarch from divorcing his wife; to
prevent unlawful alliances, end to protect the
sanctity of holy marriage, was the difficult task of
'the sovereign Pontiff. We know instances in
which the puttimity,,of the Pope has been assePed
precisely upon this ground ; we know, in-modern
times, the liistanie - of that proud and samiliginus
monsucbof England who arrogated to himself the
authority of the Holy See and constituted himseU
head of a.Churchi we can see in
. his history be
fore that event, and in his trabotuaded licentious.
nese afterward, how great ii4clief it was for him
to have cast Off, the restraint of the authoiity of
the Pope. • - '
Again we see in Germany the pitriarch of the
'Reformation, su called, in his commentary on Gen.
errs, flattering the Princes by teaching that where.
its Polygamy was practiced by the matriarchs, the
'Divine Law neither commended nor forbade it,
and that upon, that subject be bail clothing t o say.
We know that the same individual haying castoff

wife, the first ; being alive; and five with both at
the same time: These were caseept the hatred to
the authority of the Pope awing those petty soy,
ereigos who occupied - the provinces of the once
great but tow fallen power of Rome' ' in existence
long before the time ofthe so called Reformation,
for it was a past of his office to recognise no dif
ference where the law of God was concerned be
tweets the peasant end the prince who ruled our
him. Another carte was tpe correction of-scan
dais &along the clergy. for in this else the Divine
Authority .of the Holy Father, necessarily eagle
in conflict with the perverted human passions.—
The fallen priest and tie unworthy bishop have
often been found to rain, then voice and throw
the weight of their influence in the secular scale
against the very Church that bad invested flied'
with chancier anti eutherity.
Again, another cause was the efforts of the Pope
to check the tyranny of Kings= and it is singular
that at a period when the people is the sovereign,
when everything is for thepeople, that the people
themaelvet should forgex that in former times they
had no friend bat the Pope. There was no giant
strong enough to wrestle with the tyrants of the
world except the giant recce OF to St. Peter. He
was the preserver (or them f the only remnants—
of libe rty which they eojo eti, and out of which
they might have developed more perfect system.

as a divine institution, rim whether you regard the
(Zees of humanity which have been failed by

Now, my brethren, wit r are no wale, on this

the Father eifithe Faithful—the first and supreme
Bishop of the Catholic Chord—has been invaded.
whenever his person bag/heel violated by outrage,
whenever his liberty ha f t I been abridged by the
temporal powers of thialvarld, God, as it were by
a glance of His watchfulere, has so ordered that
the Pope's very enemies sometimes have been
made instruments for restlng him to that freedom
so essential to the 'unite ns of his office. Ho
will manifest his lUtChrille6 now, as he did onus
before. 'kayo faith io be lave that He will send

to govern the world. In sliest, rny beloved teeth--
eren, that idea 'of liberty where there has been no

means, no preparation tot its enj.tyment, has be

of hum in nature as human nature is, as justifies
t he reaction to which/we are to be consigned for

there is nothing more common than to hear the
inexperienced, the yoUng and the ardent enamored,'
as it were, with the opportunity of making speech
es shout liberty. We enjoy it; wo pones, it, es
much as it is possible for men to possess it on
earth; and in all the calculations of this school
they make only one nristake-r.•-they make no ao
count of God, who rules this world, nor of the
providence of ded. They Iknow the abuses of
authority, and instead of correcting the abuses, as

which they will attain most !assuredly. Let us
