Letter from Dr. O’Brien.

0 the Rditer of the Examiner.

Dean Srr,—it wag not, vor is it now, my intention to be a party to a‘ Religious Controversy” im a mewspaper. In my opinion, & newspaper is uot a fitting medium for that pnepose. As the Rev. Mr. Osborne had allowed himself to in- duige in an unseemly exhibition of old time prejudice and misrepresentation, [

wished to point ovt his inaccuracies, unin. |

tentional ne doubt, and to state well- knowerefacts. A careful perusal of my letier was calculated to assist him in pro- ducing a greater masterpiece of Christian and scholarly eloquence on the next in teresting occasion of a meeting of the A. B S., than any to which he has hitherto given utterance. He cannot, however, find in it “ anything in reply te his speech,” It is really a pity he caunor find what every one else has found.

In your issue of the 20th inst. the Rev. genileman speaks much about conscience. 1 shal] not follow his every sentence, but will endeavor to be as concise as possible. I will first observe that it is not true that the Teutonic race is mainly Protestant. In Austria and Germany, taken together, they are nearly equally divided. In Den- matk, Sweden and Norway the people are net properly Teutons. I know that many will call England a Teutonic country, but it is an: exploded fallacy. The Britons were of Celtic descent. The Saxons and other German tribes that came over were yery much less in number than the Britons, Then came the Normans of Celtic stock, A complete amalgmation of races took place. The Celtic element was the pre- ‘dominant one; hence the resultant must be more Celtic than Teutonic. However, this is a matter of little consequence to me, or to my religion. [I am not anxious to ‘claim relationship with the English! | They are naughty cousins of whom we are not over yroud. ; All Christians must admit that, morally, -wéare not free to think just as we like ov matters of religion. If there has been a Revelation, our intellect must bow to its tedchings. If God has spoken, his word must be true, whether we can understand, or not, the truth thus revealed. Physicaily ‘we are free to reject it; but then we

jwould not be Christians. The very first ‘equi then of Christianity is to bow the

~\ intellect to revealed truth. Christ and the

Apostles did demand this “ surrender of | the intellect” to Revelation. But in this \there is no degradation, no real surrender- ing. If God is God ; if truth is truth, the {intellect is enobled and really made free by |bowing to Revelation. ‘‘ The truth shall eaake you free,” are the words of Eternal pWisdom.

' By conscience, or the voice of God speak- ‘ing within us, if we do not smother it by ‘our evil passions, we apprehend that the {will of. God should be the guide of our ,actions, and the measure of our conduct. ‘When the truths of Revelation are laid _ before such a one,God’s grace co-operating, belief in them follows, and the dim, uncer- jtain light of reason gives place to the full blaze of supernatural Faith. The man thus acquires a certain and infallible guide. | Previously bis knowledge was scanty and iuncertain. Passions, interest, the force of surrounding circumstavces and education, all tended to warp or bias his judgment, | when trying to decide what was nght. But ‘now, his intellect having been led a glori- ous captive by Faith, he knows what is God’s law; he knows the trnth, andin pcs- lsessing it he is free. Rationalists and Atheists will not, of course, admit this, but Christians must and will.

Now, I say that Mr. Osborne’s intellect and conscience are no freer than those of any Catholic. They both mnst bow to the revealed Word of God; in supernatural ‘matters they are both bounded and cirenm- scribed by that word. The rev. gentleman finds, as he thinks, that word in the Bible, but he finds likewise from that same Bible that Christ instituted a living body, society, church, congregation (we care not what name may be given to it), with which he promised to abide for all time, and which was to teach ‘‘ all things whatsoever I have commanded,” and against which the ‘‘gates of hell should never prevail.” The differ- ence then between the subjection of Mr. Osborne's intellect and conscience and that of a Catholic is not one of degree, but of kind. Their rule of Faith is different. The Catholic is just as certain that his Church is the living representative of Christ, and that it cannot teach anything against the Scriptures, as Mr. Osborne can possibly be that the Scriptures are the Word of God. In factit is only through the Church of the Catholic that Mr. Osborne can prove the Bible to be God’s Word. We would just like to see the rev. gentleman proving the authenticity of the Scriptures without our Church. He can be a Ration- alist, or an Atheist, without her, but he cannot be a Christian.

We said before, and we repeat, that the individual conscience, when it is really conscience, is to be followed. It is not in the keeping of the priest, or any one else, excepting its owner; the ‘‘ voice of the priest does not become conscience.” He does what we suppose Mr. Osborne en- deavours to do, viz : to awaken the dormant consciences of the careless and sinful to the revealed Word of God, and to indnee them to “seek first the Kingdom of God and its justice.” Iam surprised and sorry to see that the Rev Mr. Osborne follows the tactics of a certain class of contre- versialists ; that is, he makes Catholic belief from bis ewn imaginings, aud then refutes it. The pastime may be amusing, but it is neither profitable, nor dignified, I gave Catholic teaching regarding con- science when I wrote: ‘We obey the

beiny tht waptiates of Wot.” Mr. Oeborne,

‘unfertunate for him that the Catholic /Church differs from him and agrees with ‘me Let him consult any standard work on conscience, Ligouri, for instance, or ‘Gury, the text books in nearly every _Catholie Theological Seminary, and he will ‘find that I, net he, am correct. In default ‘of there books be can read the chapter on conscience in Cardinal Newman’s letter to ithe Duke of Norfolk.

| But,” he exclaims ‘Dr. O’Brien dare not himself, in ‘matters of Faith, exercise his pri- ‘vate judgment against Rome.” If he imeans the Roman Catholic Church, I ‘say he is quite right. What will he gain by \this admission? I shall force him, if he be 'a Christian, to make another admission. | Dare Mr. Oshorne himself, in matters of ' Faith, exercise his private judgment against the Bible? Asa Christian, he cannot run counter to the teachings of a book whose authenticity is proved only through the ‘Roman Catholic Church. His liberty of | judgment, in matters of Faith, is as much restricted as mine. I can prove the Church to be the ‘‘pillar and ground of truth,” the Spouse of Christ without ‘“‘stain or wrinkje” ; the infallible oracle established by Ged to bear witness of the truth through all time. My position is, therefore, stronger than his. I have Scripture and the Church as its infallible exponent; he has the Scripture alone, and his own rather fallible powers. As shown already, the Christian intellect must bow to Revelation; but the Catholic intellect and conscience are as free as those of other Christians. We trust for his own sake that Mr, Osborne may see the trath of this.

Regarding changes in politics we can easi}y explain. In 1876, the general el: c- tion tarned on the School Question, a wat- ter of conscience to Catholics, as it ought to be to Mr. Osborne. Wewere beaten. A Protestant Government followed. Its wild extravagance disgusted and alarmed even the valiant Godless school men. At the next general election the Catholics clung together to defeat the “‘exclusively Protes- tant Government.” It fell, ‘‘unwept, un- honored, and unsung.” At the late election, as there was no question of religion, Catholies were divided, as they always are on purely political grounds. If Mr. Osborne would only understand that the Catholic conscience puts God before worldly advantages, he would easily solve the reason for those changes.

It seems that 1 did the rev. gentleman an injustice in my last. The report of his lecture, which I read im a newspaper some years ago, led me to believe that he held the childish theory held by many Masons. As we have his disavowal, I beg to retract the sentence relating to that point, and frankly apologize for having written it.

It appears that he was actually in earnest in denying the Reman Bishopric of St. Peter. Does he deny it altogether, or only the term of twenty-tive years! The exact term of years is merely a matter of histori- cal criticism; he may rednce it to fifteen, if he likes; i. e., if he can show proof. If he denies the fact that he was Bishop ef Rome, and died there, then I shall only add that his mental lens requires re-adjust- ment,

I say that the Government of France is a misrepresentation of the National spirit; I showed how it had succeeded. In France the ‘‘ teaching Orders” had diplomas from their religious superiors, just as they have them in Quebec and Ontario. Three years ago, at the examination for entrance into State offices, the pupils of the Christian Brothers and Jesuits carried off nine- teuths of the prizes. That was diploma enough. It was this very superiority of these schools which led to a bitter crusade against them by noisy infidels and the members of secret societies. They had no exemptions except such as were well repaid in another way to the State. I have aiready explained how it came to pass that the Elections returned members who do not re- present France.

Does Mr. Osborne really know why the Religious Orders, and Jesuits in particular, are persecuted? I had thought he was sufficiently versed in Holy Writ to under- stand the reason. Our Saviour’s words (John xv.: 19, 20) will enlighten him—‘‘ If you had been of the world, the world would love its own; but, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you * * If they have perse- cuted me they will also persecute you,” This, and similar passages, explain to Christians what is a puzzle to Mr. Osborne.

In self-respect I must refuse to cross lances with a gentleman who accepts Pascal as an authority. He must first provide himself with decent and reliable armour.

lt is surely too ridiculous to bring for- ward as arguments a Report of an investi. gation got up by enemies, for the intended purpose of injuring Catholic Schools and their managers in Belgium. Yet Mr. Osborne does this. No wonder the Priests did not ‘‘remember” the alleged off+nces. No man remembers what never happened. Our Rev. friend must try again. He scarcely does justice to kis scholarly attain- ‘ments by quoting authorities which might pass current at Exeter Hall, or in a Penny Tract.

His dear friends, the colporteurs, are not forgotten, Luckily for themselves our readers do not know much about these in- teresting creatares. They are to be met with in Catholic countries. They go, at times, to convert the Pope. Liberally paid by the contributions of generous and well- meaning dures, furnished with more ‘* cheek” than a whole army of book and lightning-rod agents, carrying a bundle of badly-written and lying tracts, the colpor- teur makes a descent into a Catholic vil- lage and hurls his literary treasures right and left. He is not satisfied with the street and square ; he enters the Church, and invades the family hearth. With stony look, with eyer showing only their yellow-

with triumph,

thet they

serena et tc

i** Scarlet Woman,” the Mass “a damnable idolatry,” Priests ‘* knaves and villains.” Dear reader, this is no. exaggerated pic- ture. Those who have lived in Catholic countries will recognize the likeness ; Mr. Osborne, did he wish, could witners jto its truth. The colporteur is ae , walking, steaming chariatan, This gent

creature, who outrages all sense of pro- riety, and insults the desrest feelings of atholics, complains, and Mr. Osborne champions him, if he be sometimes rudely

dignantly hustled from the Church which he is profaming. It will take a good many stories told by such individuals to prove ‘the ignorance of Catholics, to help Mr. Osborve’s argument, or to excite the pity of any sensible man, One such story, however, is quite sufficient to manifest the ignorance of those who set them on, and the mistsken nature of the charity of those who contribute money for their support. Mr. Mayhew, in ‘‘ London Labour and Londen Poor,” points out a more fitting

or Ltaly. Twenty years ago he found in London alone 50,000 ‘* creedless, mind) and prineipleless.” He said too: “T moral and religious state of these men is a foul disgrace to us, laughing to seorn our zeal for the ‘ propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts . ... . when we have so many people sunk in the lowest deptha of barbarism round about our very homes,”

Now, we by no means, pretend, that all Catholics are well-instructed and virtuous. But what shall we say to the astounding assertion :—-‘‘ I pever came across . ope Roman Catholic, and cescendants of Spaniards, too, who had ever seen a Bible.” Tifis is not an extempore utterance. It is the penned statement of a gentleman. Weil, all I can say is, vo other man in Charlottetown could make a similar state- ment, and still be entitled to the appelation of gentleman. I have met more Roman Catholies than he, and so far as I know and believe, everyone of them had seen a Bible. Mr. Osborne has been peculiarly unfortu- nate in his Catholic acqnaintances. The Spaniards, whom he beard hissing and cursing the Priests, were, © de delightful as companions, but they were scarcely reliable authorities on” olic doctrine and practice. He is again doing himself injustice by quoting them. Blackguards and niembers of secret socie- ties, who may once have been Catholics, can hardly be put against the conspicious fact of the comparative purity and devotion of the clergy. For the one who falls, thous- ands remain standing.

What I said sagustinds Spain was not, as it could not be, refuted: 1 shail now sub- join an extract from an Eoglish paper. The article, I take it, was written by a Protestant :—‘‘ We, English, don’t know Spain. Spain is not ignorant; ite people are neither deficient in their capaci- iies for attaining knowledge, nor in actual knowledge My three years in an Amevican

College left me imbued with a contemptuous pity for the dullness and ignorance of English students;

my subsequent three years of College life in England gave me an intense disgust for the ‘* tall talk,’ and superficial flimsi- pess of the Yankees. The two worst years of my life, epent in a French-German Col- lege, situated on the borders of both countries, and attended by seme 800 stu- dents, impressed me with the idea that both English and Yankees were immeasnr- ably far in the back ground, as to clever- ness and application ; and now, after a considerable time spent in Spain, after carefully inspecting the prospectuses of dif- fecent colleges, making myself. acquainted with the style of questions usually pat m examinations, looking and enquiring into subjects studied * ‘ the only candi conclusion J arrived at is that Spani students are quite en a par with

French, English, and Americans, vn rear the definite specific amount of knowledge they imbibe, and that as to their capacity for learning they surpass the rest im- measurably. Boys of eleven are quite con- versant with Newton’s Binomial Theorem, and undepiably at home in Logarithims,” This man spoke with knowledge of facts. It ought to dispel the idea of Spanish ignorance, as he himself says.

Mr. Ushorne need scarcely have asserted that he was a Protestant. His letter bristles with protests against truth and facts. If he will use his properties of ** Protestantism and freedom” in the same unamiable manner at future meetings, he need not be surprised to find himself badly scotched.
