1 treats the subject in - the light of impartial
i philosophy. He compares }with the antiqdity
bunion governments of Europe, and finds
the oldest of them, but as of the origin of
yesterday. He proclaim's - , indeed, the in
roads that Protestantism had made upon the
beatitifokY domains of the ancient Catholic
dominion. He acknowledges that, though
formidable for a time, its progress was evi
dently of a transient character. And, look
' ing into futurity with the keen scrutiny of a,
1 seer. he asserts by a flight of imagination,
I
and a beautiftil exaggeration I might call it,
that the - Catholic Church will be still young
and vigorour, when. at some future day, the
' traveller from New Zealtintl shall stand upon
a broken arch Of London - ;Bridge and sketch
the ruin of Saint Paul's." Such is his idea:
and. I need not add, that a man 'who can thus ,
write is already deeply impressed with the'
acaual and prospective declineof Protestant-,
ism. I cannot, however, agree with the elo
quent writer ; for I would rather hope that if
( ever such a traveller shall come front New
Zealand. instead of finding London Bridge
broken up and Saint Paul's destroyed, he will
be first arrested, as he approaches that noble
edifice, Ed the sound of ten 'thousand voices
atter some grand and solemn pontifical mass
rendering thanks. m the: accents of Te deum
laudaryitis, forthe returrkA an erring Nation
to the unity and communion of -the Catholic
faith.
Protestantism began in the year 1517. It
hadatien a solitary representative; and as re
gards religion, his voice was the only discor
dant sound that could - have beep heard in
western Christendom. All had been unit-41,
all had subsisted ;a the:harmony of one be
ing': and although vandal existed then, as
now, and abuses of individual living were
known : and although public and private
morals might have furnished much ground
for compiaint. still.' at .least there was one
ideally perfect. central;. rallying point. on
which toen's minds were united—the beauty,
simplicity, and Unity of the faith of the
Catholic Church. which God had established
for the salvation of men. Front this central
Point the new doctrineaook its hearings of
direct and indirect antagonism, ands pread on
every side. It became the theme of general
dispute., and into that dispute were promptly
infused projec:ts of political ambition, popu
lar discontent, and eyety species of human
olement and of human rmouve calculated to
give impulse - to the new ptincipte. which in
itself. if it were true, would have been alto=
gether worthy of- thedrriiration of Its adhe
rents, and - would have been well calculated
'o spread abroad the doctrine thus introduced
tind propagated with a rapidity to which there
is no such thing' as a parallel. id the history
of the Christian Chureh, or in the annals of
the human race. From NV irtembUrg it spread ',
throughout Northern Germany. It reached,
in a different form, however, the Cantons•of
Switzerland. It penetrated the Empire of
France. It took possession of Prussia.: It
Pervaded Holland, Norway. Sweden, Den. I
mark, England, and Scotland. it conqueted
'them all t—and it meth successful resistance
°ray on the western borders e,f Europe. The
,Irish \ nation stood together against it, and i
strugg'ld with constancy, perseverance, and'
detenniii.ktion ; and although the battle has I
I lasted for three hundred years, and although
that down-trodden - nation has - suffered in- i
tensely' for its'adherence to principle, still it '
did not give wnoi Protestantism. I cannot
consider - this as itogetiaer the result, or
chance, for I can altrittst persuade myself that
God in His providence\ permitted that there'
should be one western bortler of Dirope. upon
which the eve of the pilgrim to this free
hemisphere should rest for the last time, as
upon Catholic soil, and that Iteshould thus
continue to cherish the old associations of the
Holy 'Catholic Faith; by which .11. Europe
had been, and the rest of the world` might,
finally, be emancipated from barbaricond
•infidelity. : . \
'hat is very remarkable is, that Prolestz
autism should have made suchprogress in so
short a time ;—that ,' within fi fty years flora
its origin. it should have conquered and taken
possession of every inch of ground, of which
it is in possession atthiS day ; so, that an old
man of 1567 could see Protestantism trium
phant in all the nations I have mentioned,
and look back to the 'memory of boyhood
1 when he knew Brother Martin Luther, a pious
monk, as' 111acaulay: remarks; or, what is
I nearly the same, remembered him, the young
father of Protestantigm, a fugitive from the I
[ laws of his country; seeking and happily
finding a sale hiding-place in the suburbs of
some obscure German village..
1 Oh how Protestantism must have been sur
prised, astounded, and overwhelmed at the
immensity and variety . of the spoils, into the'
possession of which it so speedily entered!
Yesterday it was peogcribed: to-day it is
master of kingdoms, thrones, armies, pro
•vinces, treasures, and the accumulated reli-
gious and charitable offerings of Catholic ,
generations for a thousand years ! It came
rapidly into the possession , of what it had I
never labored to create; it reaped where it'
I had never sown; and the toil of the husband
mathewho had cultitrated the soil before, ac..
trued to the benefit of his adversary, and was I
i unrewarded. It fointd itself, in possession
not only Of these, but of the Catholic church-'
es--and when I say Catholic churches, you
will not tluderstaodttie to me:4*mb church- ,'

been able to erect-4nt those grea_t chttrches

not been.able to preserve itself, even there.
Look over its social and religious history
from the year 1567 to the present day. See
what England has passed through ; and, at
this day; Protestant though it still be in name,
in feeling, and in law, yet it appears to be
utterly_unconscious'ofivhat really constitutes
its religious life and mission. It seems to
have no principle of self-explanation, noth

iefidelity ; and the only regret it appears to
feel on witnessing this desolation, this cold
'and chilling atmosphere lam sivhich it has
been ushered, is the regfet—igiii there is left

' If, then Protestantisni has declined,,isSie
elining,,fted is destined to decline, it may not
be unseasonable to inquire into the causes of
it. I think the fact itself is undeniable,' and
I must abstain from quoting the innumerable
instances of itslimuse such quotatiotaftife
unnecessary. The, thing itself is admitted
on all sides.
But now the question comes up, :What
causes have prevented `Protestantism i from
taking that spread, and exercising that in
fluence over the hunian races which should
have distinguished a system, ' having, or
claiming t' have, the blessing 'and favor of
God? The causes are no doubt 3 - .:iatts -'but
I think the primary cause, of, which the
others are consequences, is to be folind in'the
very elements of Protestantism itselft—for
I conceive that God has given; to man but
two general principles of guidance. One is
divine authority, which as being divine, is
above him ana the other is reason, which
is in him. 'lf it be said that we Catholics,
because we admit authority, do not exercise
our reason, we have an answer which' is ob
vious, and ought to be satisfactory ;—and
it
is, this : If you ask our reason kir submit
ting to authority, wet answer, that, in the
exercise of that faculty, we have arrived at
the _conclusion that God, having made a
revelation, has appointed a Church, to be
the depository and -witness of his truth, and
the guide to his people, to the end of the
world. Now', ii this be true, what can be
more natural or rational than, to submit our
reason to the teachings' add guidance that
God himself has appointed? But on the
other hand, the Protestant system, from the
beginning, essentially casts oil all authority.
It is very difficult to say now, wliat were, if
any, the philosophical motives for'asserting
this principle—whether asserted by accident;
whether it was intended really to be a cen
tral and abiding point in the new' system, it
is difficult to say ;—but one thitigniperfectly
clear and obviens,—that the first exigency of
condition in Protestantism was to PULL DOWN.
Its first mission was not to build-up, hut to
pull down : and a more fruitful or efficient
principle of encouragement for the destruc
tion of what ever did exist, never could have
-been devised by the perverted and pervert
ing ingenuity of man than the principle
which made every human being the supreme
judge of what was right and true,—with
the injunction to reject all authority : Hence
therefore, the first destructive : principle of
Protestantisni was a condition of necessity,
though its votaries seem never to have had
the foresight to reflect or perceive that this
principle-could be turned againit any thidg
else, and in a little time, even against itself.
Bat having once proclaimed the principle,
it could not deny the consequences. Hence,
'after the first ehullitioit of that species of
half political, half religious. revolution,
1 they began to draw the semblance of a creed
around themselves, and to throw some
restraints over the private reasoning of their
own adherents. This attempt at restraint is
the other element of PrOtestantism, and from
1 1 that period, until the present day, supposing
it to be thus constituted, it is manifest that
' it never could, under such principles, either
preserve or propagate itself. And why ?
Because these two principles came in cons
tradiction one with the other. How can
I, you make me free to read the Holy Scrtues
and j ud ge tor myself, if you tie, me do ip wn r to
Augsburg your Confession, your Westminis
ter Catechism. or your Thirty-Nine Articles
and -Homilies? What kind ,of freedom is
that? The freedom 10311 proclaimed invited
me to desert the Catholic faith. in order. as
it would now seem, to put my -neck into the
yoke you have framed. You give with one
hand, and take away , with the other that
which you had given. Now; thelefore, I
1 1 must be consistent with you. Whatever
' system or confessions you have made, God
is invariable and, following out His light
and yours, I see that you are in contradiction
with yourselves, and Catmot continue to
have an active existence. Either reject
,au
thority, and make every 'man free to follow
I.his own judgement, or admit authority : and.
if you admit authority. then you recall your
-own principle! Be-candid. then, and do not
I deceive us with words. If you mean that
' we are to shape our belief according to your
articles, tell us so. If we have reason to
think you are teaching from God, we will
follow you ; but, as it is, you adopt a prin
ciple which is destructive of every doctrine
of-your Own system. and which. at the same
time, deprives you of the right of correct
ing, and calling back, those who wander
from your arbitrary standard of Christian
belief.
Hence it is,' that all those persons who go
in the direction of rationalism, go on the first
principle of Protestantism ; and all those who
accept authority and find it not in the system
of Prbtestantisro, and discover there no guar
antee of a certain faith. one after another
come back' to the faith of their ancestors. ,
This principle has -followed Protestantism
into every department of its quasi religious
life. It is like the blood in the human sys
tem. It springs from the heart of Protest
antism, and pervades-the whole extremities:
Hence the;number , of sects. No man can
enumerate 'their shades and varieties. It
would be vain to attempt it. But all of them
are justified in their character, by the very
first principle of separation from the associa
tion to which the . primitive founders had be
longed. Hence it is, too, that Protestantism
has lost all organic influence over the masses
of mankind, and that it has so lost all capa
city to preserve even its own doctrines, that
it is paralyzed. skoverless. speechless : or it
it speaks, its words are of no import. It
has lost all central force : and because it was
conscious of this defect from the beginning„
you will observe that it immediately attach
ed itself, in every instance, to the State, so
that kings and courts became its master from
the hour of its birth. It is free, and profes
ses to be free, only in these United States ;
and of the use which it makes of its freedom,
even here, none of its advocates have any
great reason to be proud. •
It 'is said that it has emancipated nations.
This is not the fact, - but even if it were so,
it was at the expense of its own liberty,
seeing that itself became a state-slave front
the first hour of its existence. Protestanism
at this , day, wherever it is established in the
Old World, is but a part of the state. You
may speak °fits Consistories, Presbyteries,
and Synods; of its Bishops, Ministers, and
Dignitaries, - but •you will - find them without
a tongue to defend their own rights, or to
define its doctrines, except the tongue which
the sovereign or his civil ministers pits into
their mouths. In England itself, the country
which hes succeeded the hest with Protestant
ism, have we not seen, but the other day, a
dispute arising between a Presbyter and his
Bishop' about 'the nature and efficacy of the
sacrament of baptism ?—ti topic which has
'been decided by the voice of universal Chris
tendom for eighteen hundied years ! In this
dispute the Bishop bed no authoeity 'or right ,
ofjudgment over the Presbyter.

rules as I take it, 'that the chinch' in s-ucle
countries is a mere function or - department'
of the government, in which.-the sovereign.
speaks to the , Bishop, or to the Judge on type; '
bench to the Presbyter or the metropolitan,,{
as he does to the admirals of the navy, or
the officers.of the army. .
.
- How then can Protesiattism succeed in ' j
preserving itself, or in convening the errieg,
world ? And again, to speak-of the catises,l
of its want of success in preserving its own,
doctrines or in 'converting nations ;—how, l
has it been or how is it now possible for 1
Protestantism to succeed I - Its missionaries;
for instance, carry with them double ele-1
meats, tile positive and the negative—viz., ,
"Such and such doctrines to be. accepted:
and such and such others to be cast nside.7
Indeed. they often' cast away all creeds as I
known to ether mertoand have no creed of i
their own except as they read and choose to
interpret the Scriptures. We hear totem ,
pasties of missionaries going th convert hear
then nations, and of their holding cousultaL
dens from day to day on board ship, to
agree, in some manner, as to what kind of
doctrinesthey shall preach and present to the
heathen. We have an instance: of one of
their distinguished members who left thiS
country, as a missionary,, who himself be
came conversed on the voyage, and was bap
tized into a new sect on reaching the Pagan
land. What has been the consequence et
all this wavering, instab il ity, and uncertain
ty? It haslbeen the same as that , which has
produced the divisions, and - weakened any
power that ever existed in the. Protestant
system of religion. It is natural, and to 'lie
expected, that the heathen will say to "such
men—" 1 - 115 w can 'ire hearken tb the voice
of missionaries who come to us 7 conflicting
with each other in doctrine ? They shotild
net come to us , with contrary or it utilaied
messages from the Son of God.. We shall
temain as we are, till your learned missiona
ries agree , among yourselves:" They hate
also still farther confounded the simple iudg•
meat of the Pagan. By the fact of being
Protestants, they-must necessarily commence 1
the history of their religion, by saying that I
Christ established a church -for' the purpose
of propagating His doctrine, blit that eller,
fifteen hundred years it had failed, and they
had come to renew it. How can the savage
inwardly digest a story like that ? Him
quickly, will , he, vith the perception of na
tural' instinct not to say talent, reply, "How
can I know what confidence to put in yoq, if
the Author of Christianity - Himself failed to
His ?"
Thus, on every side, that • inherent def l ect
tat one principle which . i s self-destruction,
has followed Protestantism in et ey one of its
undertakings ;—so that, at the present clay,
it does not in reality , hold together as a sys
tem of doctrines. There is no heart in n,
no intellect, no comprehensive or ' compre
hensible body of principles, by which men I
could he brought tato religious and hanno- 1
pious association one with another,
Protestantism, however. still numbers perhaps
fifty millions of men, an immense, aggregate, ,it is
true; and among them may be found many of the
'most enlightened and best educated minds, trett the
world can thi]t day boast or. Yet, owing to the'
unhappy auspices of the first principle of Protest
antism, if Godwould make known' what is the spe
c:fie creed of cacti indiv :dun. o: iii,. , -- fil: nailliyns.
it is probable that not ten out of the whole number
could be foundlo agree, on all points, in substance
and detail, in the principles and doctrines of Chris
tian 'Revelation. On the other hand, the Catholic
Church numbers two hundred millions, scattered
all over thegtobe, from the rising to the setting of
the sun: and I, run no risk in stating that, out et
these two hundred millions there could not be
round, ten, in whose inmost souls there exit-14 the
slightest deviation trom the actual, and of Cour.e
original doctrines of the Church, in regard to Ihe
Revelations of the Son of God.

During all thiaaime to which I have referred,and
in which the Catholic Church"saw they., , several
nations torn from' her communion, as tinny bright
stare swept from the celestial tirrnament, she was
not idle. She was making inrciadS upon the Pro
testant dominions, and converting their best men.
But she did not stop there; shmsent forth her mi.-
siouaries to replenish and, recruit from Pagan lands ,
those who should compensate fcir the bavoe which!
Protestantism had made in her spiritual doininioas.
She brought South America and. all its Indian tribes
into communion with herself; rind they hive been
preserved to her, and thereby placed in the path of
continuous and , progressive improvement. Sid
sent her missionaries into China, and planted there
the nucleus of What may one day turn out to be a

How strangely , and yet how instruetively, his
God manifested the distinction between truth and
error?—for. while ProtestantiSin has donverted
none,--Catholicism has converted all! How beau

. passages in the lives of
