| CORRESPONDENCE, We do not hold ourselves “responsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents

Letter from Rev. Dr. O’Brien.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

| Dear Sirr.— In the Darry EXamMmxer of the 22nd ult., there appeered a report of the remarks made by Rev. Mr. Osborne at a meeting of the “*P. E. 1. Auxiliary Branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society.” As no correction of that report has béen published we take it for granted that it is substaatially accurate. Itisa matter for surprise and regret that one, presumably a christian gentleman, should display sv much unchristian rancour, mingled with so mach unmitigated misrepresenta

-tion of facts. In England such displays are now relegated to the leaders of the latest “religious” craze; clergymen of respec- tability never indulge in them. Even if their conscience does not restrain them, the absurdity of the position into which they would fail, serves to check their heated prejudice. We decline to take Mr. Os- borne as a true representative of the intel- lectual endowments of the clergy of the Church of England on this Island ; we de- cline to take him as atrue representative of the gentlemanly and christian feeling of either the clergy or laity of that church.

He is simply his own measure; he ex- /presses solely himself, Hence our stric- itures are not directed against anyone, or anything, excepting the unit— Mr. Osborne.

| Mr. Osborne rehashes from an obscure | English periedical, as we think, a theory ‘about the cause of the difference of religion between the north and south of Europe.

When the degree of latitude does not coin- ‘cide with the theory it ceases to be drawn.

| The plan is simple, if not severely logical.

‘But let that pass. The learned gentle-

man seems to be of the epinion that the Teutonic race is exclusively Protestant.

Leaving out for the moment England, we may say that Austria and the German Empire contain all the Teutons in Europe.

‘There are also many slaves inboth. In the |German Empire one-third of the whole | population is Catholic, all or nearly all of ‘whom are Teutons. Add the Catholic Germans of Austria and it will be found that very nearly one-half of the Teutona, are Roman Catholic. If then, Mr. Os- | borne informs us, the Latins are Catholics because they ‘‘ simply followed their re- _ ligious leaders,” (by the way, we think this ‘is what Christ taught all Christians to do when he commanded them under pain of

own day, asin the beginning, the consci- ence which issues from the ‘* machinery of Popery,” was the victor. Bismarck is fol- lowing in the steps of Henry IV. to Canossa. He has re-established a ministry at the Vatican ; he is helping to repeal his own cruel laws, hereby proving to the whole world that the conscience of Catho- lics is invincible. How many in the com- munity will believe that Mr Osborne would have fought the fight of conscience as well as the noble Catholics of Germany? How many Protestant men of business in Char- lottetown will assert that their Catholic customers have less conscience than others %

Perhaps, after all, Mr. Osborne does not really know what conscience is. In fact he appears to think that it cannot exist with- out a persistent Bible reacing. Conscience can, and does, exist without any religion at all, for, as St. Thomas puts it, “the nataral law is an impreesicn of the Divine light in us, @ participation of the eternal law in the rational creature.” This law, as apprehend- ed by man, is called conscience. It is the voice of God speaking to man. We obey the teachings of our religion, because, through the light of Faith we apprehend them as being the mandates of Gud. Hence it is the conscience of Catholics which makes them cling to their religion under adverse circumstances. The world’s view of conscience—we know aot if it be Mr. Osborne’s—is that we are at liberty to follow our own whims and fancies in all matters, more especially in matters of religion, without any reference to the teachings of God’s Church. Hence a sneer from the world at the Latins who “simply followed their religious leaders,” would not surprise us. The atrocious calumny that the Church crushes out Conscience, is sufficiently dis- proved by the foregoing well known facts. Catholic priests have ever been the cham- pions of Conscience as explained above. The Fourth Lateran Council declared that he ‘“‘who acta against his conscience loses his soul.” We have only to tarn to any treatise on conscience by a Cathclic theolo- gian, to find that they all teach with the Spanish Monk Corduba, that “in no man- ner is it lawful to act against eonscience, even though a law, or a superior commands it.” Common fairness required that Mr. Osborne should have become acquainted with Catholic teaching before attacking it. Gentlemen and scholars do this. He might sarely have reed Cardinal Newman's ‘‘Letter to the Duke of Norfolk.” But then that would have soiled his *‘ smart ” speech,

What he says about France is very misty. Be evidently feit that he had not the

‘condemnation ‘‘to believe and be bap- | tized)—it would follew that nearly or quite one-half of the Teutons did the same} thing The doubtful compliment, then, ‘which Mr. Osborne pays the Teutonic race, of doing ‘‘ what they were ordered not to 'do,” must be modified like the line of | Jatitude. Evidently Mr. Osborne’s ides of a Christian’s duty differs essentially from ithat of our Saviour who denounced as ‘‘ heathens and publicans” all who would} /not hear the Church ; and from St. Paul, |who said, ‘“‘ But though I, or an Angel from heaven, should preach another Gospel ito you besides that which I have preached, ‘let him be anathema.” Which is the true one ? | Weare told that the great peculiarity of the Latin races is the ‘‘absence of con- science” ; and we are further informed that} this was ‘‘brought about by the machinery | of Popery.” That ‘‘the best evidence of Religion to a Roman priest was that the 'peopte ceased to think and let him do the ‘thinking, and that they paid his salary and held their tongue.”

We wonder whether Mr. Osborne suc- | ceeded in persuading himself that he was ‘speaking honestly: we are certain he per- 'suaded no one else. The “machinery of |Popery” (whatever may be its precise | meaning) has brought about an absence of /conscience ! How does the Pope rule over the hearts end affections of unt: ld millions, except through conscience? Through con- ‘science, which has nerved, and still nerves, | young and old, the frail virgin as well as the robust man, to endure privations, hard- ships, imprisonments, tortures, death it self, rather than do violence to their con- What kept Ireland faithful to

| persecution! Every wordly advantage was ion the side of apostacy: but consciences, fostered and made strorg by the “‘machi- nery of Popery,” spurned them all, and }made the nation prefer Faith with famine, ‘to Protestantism with plenty. What h-s kept the Poles true to their Religion under fearful persecutions? What has made the tender woman strong enough to bear the knout of a brutalized official, and to dare the bayonets of the soldiery (as an English ‘diplomatic agent assured his government that they did) rather than renounce their Faith? What else but con- ‘science, strengthened and _ purified by the “machinery of Popery?”’ What has ‘kept the fifteen millions of Catholics in ‘Germany from bending th: knee, in mat- ‘ters of religion, to the man of ‘* blood and iron?’ fe could beat Austria on the fieki ‘of battle; he could crush the armies of | France ; he could dictate to the statesmen | of Europe. All this he could, and did do, ‘for ** blood and iron” were capable of this imuch. But there is one thing he could | mot conquer ; there is one thing which de- ified cannon, and became stronger by the ishedding of its own blood. It was the conscience of the German Catholics.

grasp of his subject. However, having

‘mentioned the country, he was, like a man

i who had mounted an ungovernable steed,

It is a fatal peculiarity of his mental composition, that he cannot approach an historical question, be it ancient or modern, without getting on the wrong side ; and if it should have an absurd one, you can safely count on his adopting it. Nor is this asserted without reason. Witness his derivation of the Masonic Or€er from the builders of Solo- mon’s Temple; his historical escapade regarding St. Peter’s sojourn, or rathér non-sojourn, et Rome ; and now his mud- dle about the ‘‘ mental and physical” enslavement of France! It is really too ridiculous to be obliged to notice such Exeter Hall rant. Can Mr, Osborne name any branch of literature, art, or science, in which Catholics and Frenchmen do not stand in the first rank? Wherefore, then, insult the intelligence of this community with this trash about mental enslavement ? Unfortunately, owing to political divis- ions into Legitimatists, Orleanists, Bona- partists and Republicans, and a» certain apathy in political matters, a government which by no méans represerited the real feelings of France, acquired p wer, and put in force obselete laws against the Religious Orders. They were- disbanded. Mr. Osborne appears to approve of persecution, For athorough going, relentless, unmitigated tyrant, commend me toe the man who prates the most glibly and offensibly about liberty. It issurely the commonest of civil rights for persons te live in community, under volun- tary obedience, pursuing no object hurtful to the State. Yet Mr Osborne is pleased to know that the Religious Orders in Franve were prohibited from dofng this. His in- suiting remark about France being ‘* now delivered from the immense weight which nung over her,” may be allowed to pass. He does not know, and cannot undéretand, a life of chastity, poverty. obedience, and complete self-denial. It is the habit of the world to rage at that which rebukes, even by its existence, its self-indulgenee.

What could the learned gentleman have possibly meant by saying that, in Belgium, ‘‘many persons had became atheists,” ‘* wishing, no doubt, to have freedom at whatever cost?’ Every school-boy knows that there is perfect equality, before the law, for all religions in Belguum. As the Constitution was not framed by the Bel- gians, but imposed on them when the country became a kingdom, Catholics are, if anything, at a disadvantage. It is pre- suming very much to the ignerance, or credulity, of one’s hearers to say that men in Belgium became atheists in order to have freedom. Perhaps some antiquated lady or some “intense” girl was brought down by the daring shot; certainly no one else was.

We are gravely informed that in Rome the ‘‘ Monastic Order has been reconstruct- ed, but there is no spiritual life.” That depends on what is meant by ‘* spiritual life.” It is quite true that ‘‘spiritual hfe” of the kind seemingly a@mired by Mr. Osborne, a cross, that is, between the cant of a Cromwell, and the persccuting craft of Julian the Apostate, does not flourish in Rome; and
