To my Roman Catholic Fellmc Pilgrim. ^ Dkar Sir, — In tl»e following Letters I have juldreased your Kcclesiastical Chief — permit me now to address you. Every wiwe man who intends to travel into far and foreign countries, will study and read with great care every ma]* and book j)ub- lished on the country in which he intends to travel, and especi- ally those maps and books on the subject by a reliable resident of that country. All we read or hear from those who have neither lived nor travelled there, is, so far as we are concerned , mere hearsay — It may ov may not be reliable. Now, friend, we are travelUng to Eternity, and since of all who have written )>ooks on the best way to, the climate of, and fitness for that Country, God alone is He who " inhabiteth Etorr.ity," it follo^ that fi-ora Him alone can -wq get reliable information on the sub- ject. Every thing we read or hear from all those who have never been there, is, so far as we are concerned, mere theological hearsay — it may or may not be correct. I know your priest will ask you to believe that he is divinely authorized to guide you to Eternity. But how do you know that he is so ? That is just the very Ecclesiastical Jiearsay against which I warn you. In so far as you depend on any thing short of God's own Statement, your religion is founded on hearsay — " receixcd by tradition from your fathers," the very thing which both Christ and Peter have condemned. Matt. 15, 8, 6, ; 1 Peter 1, 1ft Your religion is full of confusions and self-contradictions. But- ler's Catechism is now before me — I know it well, — and a greater "Mass " of miserable confusion, perversion and absurdity, ^A*^W5«i^ V w*aM.v .«ttsi5«S*^:iaiyAate'iaivi- can not be printo<1 ; aiir] yot it is your Stimdjird Catechism / Or e , ouK ,„st,„ct,on !

(See the end of Appendix E.) It is n>.tter of historical notoriety that your Church has ahvays been a bedlam of Sects, division and stnfe- Popes deposing rival Popes, Councils anathemati/- mg Councils, 1 opes ,,itted against Councils, and Councils against Popes, and stdl all these were infallible! I know your priest will say to yoic that this was not the case ; but will he say so i.. my presence on the public platform V Your great Newman in his 'Grammar of Assent," American edition, pp. 215-7, says- ^•A man IS infallible whose words are always true; but iflclahn to be mfalhb e, one failure would shiver my claim to piece.." .^d th tTr' T"" '*''"' "^"'^'•■^'^^ *''"^' ^'"" ^'"-^'^ ^•••'« ^^'-tionn^y, und th. t the Sun was n.ov.ng round the Earth !

(See note in Moshehn, p. 25G.) — Now here, you see, like an irrestible force coming against an immovabl* post, we have one "infallible" contradicting another " infallible " ! This is only a very small specimen of the self-contradicti<»ns which flisfigure Romanism. Your priests in the Casket of August 7th, 1873, apologize for many of these things on the ground that they took place " in the Dark Ages''' Now, this is just the "Confession " we want. There icere dark ages, then! When were they? Just between the 6th and the 16th centuries when Popery, alone in its glory, dejtosed kings, produced its own legitimate fruits, and, in short, had everything in its own way, then -were, the dark ages I "I thank thee, Casktt^ioY that word." The priests in the Casket of August 21st, 187:3, say ; — " The Church of Home never changes in her office of infallible teacher. She teaches to-day the same doc- trines which she taught in the days of St. Thomas (.Atpiinas) about heresy and its i)unishment." I thank thee again, Casket, for the " Confession," for many of our people would not believe that on my authority — they will surely believe it nmc. For what the Church of Home taught in the days of St. Thomas, read on to the end of this pamphlet. "The Church of Rome never chan- ges " ! Why, it would require a Inrger j)amphlet than this even to mention one half of her "changes;" she has been ad- ding new dogmas of faith and , . .idoning old ones now for a thousand years ! Protestants are agreed on the fundamentals, and differ only as to non-essentials ; but you Roman Catholics agree only on trillos, and fight about fundamentals.— Your Bible te\h you that Ch-ist ottered one sacrifice/or sins forever, Heb. 10 12; but Butler's Ca^ecAisw tells you that Fie is daily offered in the Mass. Now, which of them do you believe ? Christ says that no man cometh (approacheth) unto the Father, but by Ilim, John 14, 6 ; but your priest says that you can go unto the Father by others. Whom do you believe? Your Bible tells you that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us fiom. all - « !.Wk1f> "Wifif iH!iHfii « n, 1 John, 1, 7, 9; but Butler's Catechism tolls you that the lood of Jesus Christ de^^-seth only fron» some si„s, an. tha penance" and "purgatory "cleanse you from the rJst. Which aoyoubeheve'^ Your Bible tells you to confess yourZt (not sn.s; to each other (not to the priest any morfthan the pnesttoyou) anayour.m.onlyto God (not to the priest), you must confess your sins to the priest at lea«t once a year Accordmg to wluch of these contrary rules do you live '^-wZi would you think of a book on English poets or Queens, in which there should be no reference to Jfacon or Queen Victoria ^^ of a book on astronomy in wliich the Sun should never be even mentioned ? And so what do you think of the fact that though the Chnstum Church, are minutely described, the -Pone" is never once mentioned in the Bible? The Pone the i..fhlliKi vicegerent of God, the Supreme Of«cial of a7r;fRtL t ho presence IS essential to the very existence of God's Church as you believe, and yet he is neither named albidprl t« a . bed in the Biblel' Astonishing " iltop Is^h"."

Isitu„ti.assiugstz-ange that the funda.u >nt„,l priuoiplos of vour Church are not to be found in the Bible!

Your fundamental blunder consistH in bflicving as you niv taught, that the Church of (iod, like any huuiau institution, cousistH of ccii^iin officials, by-laws, and a visible office where sins and souls are atten- ded to like commercial tninsactions at a Royal Exchange. So long as you hold to such an abmird idea as to what the ("hureh of (Jod is, so long will all your ideas of religion be confused. l he CJhiuch of God in its essential nature, is not an external organization at all. Job was the most pious man on tJie earth in his day, and yet he Iwlonged to no visible organization of an ecclesiastical character; and HO the thief on tlni cross was saved, and therefore was a mem- ber of OotVa Church, though he did not belong to any external church on this earth. The pei-sons mentiontxl in the following passages were accepted l)y God, and still they were not members of any visibh! Church whatever. Matt. H, .o-ll ; Matt. 1-5, 21-28; Luke 7, afl-nO; Acts 10, 1-48; Luke 23, 30-43; Job 1, 1-8.— For salvation the main thing with you is thorough submission to your "Church" as represented in the pei-son of the pries( ; whereas the main thing, indeed tlits only thing, insisted on by the Word of God is, that faith in Clirist, wliicli is followed by practical obedience to God. What an infinite ditt'erence between the teaching of Rome and that of ITeaven ! Why has your Bishop not answered my Letter's'? Your priests say that I am not worthy of an answer ! We all know what is the meaning of such a reply. Ask your priest whether he will meet me on the platform before an audience, and explain the following abominable words found in your Latin theology of the Confessional, — vir succubus — latere — stando — sedendo — retro — quis — quid — uhi — quibus aiixiliis — cur — quomodo — quando — ka. I have reml in the Latin of your own standard authors, the questions which your young priests are taught in order to prepare them to "Confess" women; and if an educated desjwrado should attempt to translate them to a decent audience, the cry of " Fire !" would not make even tlie men leave any quicker ! Dens, Cardinal De Bonald, and others, admit that the Confessional pollutes even the piiests themselves. Fathers McGillivray and McGregor to the contrary not-svithstanding. Friend, read your Bible, believe in Jesus Christ aa your only Priest, confess to God against whom you have ainued and who aloue can forgive you. ttma 8 ta't,''tr " "" °r «""'"'!«'»"«=' "• J" your MnkCng fa „„„ -o,„*„, ,e. ™ .„t ,„,, „„,; / r ,;„",„ zr:::t '^ ..re ;no«lly respoulfefa « fo SeTulZ '"aTm"' f °'«°'™'' fami y of bovs iiivlm. l.i. t.. ■ ■ oMMgO- A fiithor has a fine o«r„f,[lly,r:rh */™„flTS, Ho ha, moulded them very happen. tl,«,t w.ule he i le„ i ?V ^f '■'' "''T"" "■"»■ I' *.n,er ,„me, alo ..r^i ve" , ., to h-S" """^ °' "'", *'"""• " :;o%7'f,:;:r:xxf-"^^^^^ S;tShLi!rd™;i,t,;x:^^^^ assailing tlie stoer %{ *^ ^ '"^""l^^ ""^'^^' *'"»k of brutally priest is wholly subject toXR?;r° f ^T^ constitution the to the Pone We kwe no l5 f ''^'' ^f!,^' *^^" ^^«^°P ^^ «"bject , He fihar»ps tho -J->fim -f 'i • i ■' ^ rather Uhimnnv 1 foUv" TtI / V 1 "^ t"""" ii""-J«rous outnige with "insanp " Ljoocl se )f the j)al \>y brill us.' j Has I s vene I iitiard t' tion of Protest; l>y his ] . and for ! iwrt of Fath( HMS iniaj suiting t them.' inatter. ghastly •nls immediately m the deadliest and bruises en- row, how is the irage ?

This was continued with increasiiej; violence until tlie pursued party took refujie in liie house of ,A[r.

Fortunately, however, they were restraiiu'd by their own cow- ardice from doiiiji any. further injury than had be'cji already done. On the stre(!t betwec^n tho church and Mr. t'anu'ron's house' where, ill addition to the above-mentioned weapons, axe liandles were used, an elderly lady hail her ankle sevei'cly injured with a lar;;e stone, an inotfiMisive old man was knocked down, and Ue\'. .Mr. (Jood- foUow was struck four or live times, one sIcjik^ cutlin;^ him severel.v oil the liead. Mr. ('hini(|uy, though tlu^ chief ol)ieet of llu'ir malice and frequently aimed at, received only (die blow which did him much injury. Where, it may l)e askiMl, wcm'o the constables of the town, magistrates, iV:c.? As for constables, there ar(! only two in the phu-e; one is said to have tried to do his iluty but was (luickly walked aside and told to keep (juiet ; the other was amongst the for(!most in inciting tho uiob to violonce. .Vs Ibr magistrates, one at least was among the rioters and made liiiiiscdf conspicuous as an abcsttor, waiting luul watching for Mr. Ohiniiiuy until near daylight. Lawyers and law- yers' (^lorks formed a ])artof the mob. And hear it, ye gods at Ottawa ! a niomberof the Dominion CabimH, .Minister of Militia, and .Judge in prospect, standing by on tho outskirts of the crowd, and calmly sur- veying this outrageous violation of that law ATliieh he has alre^ady sworn to uphold iind whicli, as .Judge in this I'rovinco, he ox|>ects soon to 1)0 called upon to administer! And what al)oiit tin; priest? His house is close to tho scoii(> of the riot, lie was known to be at homo, and though ono word from him would iiavo dispersed his obed- ient dupos, yot tliat word was not spoken, but ho (piiotly looked on and manifested no dosiro to suppress tho lawless conduct of his spiritual childron. Dvon fair ladies, usually gentle, oxhibitod their feminine tendornoss and tho benign iulliKMicbof their holy religion on their christian hearts by clamouring for Mr. t'hiniquy's blood! One woman, whilo in the church, blew a whistle, and then shouted, " At him, boys.'' Another o.Kpro.ssed a wish to have Mr. Chiniquy's head that sho might crush it under hor foot. Ono woman shouted,' " Hang him, boys!" And anotlier said if she had jjoison, sho would poison all the Protestants like so many rats ; wliilo others declared that if the country Catholics were in town every Protestant in Antigonish would be dead before morning. What do you think of that, ye so-called Pro- testants, who fancy Roman Catholics are not now so blood-thirsty as they wore on tho evening of the ji4th of August, 1572, when seventy thoiLsand Protestants were surprised and murdered in France? Be it understood tliat those expressions were made use of by women who are considered to be the most respectable among their own people.

':{. V)n findint' that neitJier of these subterfuges would answer- tludr purpose, they brayc^y turned round and trit>d to justify the outrage on th«^ jrrounds^ 1.

Still it is (piestionable whether we should respect any man who is so coarse and vulgar as to apply such billingsgate to iUiUnoral man of grey hairs, even tliough he had no otlier titletoour esteem. Mr. MeGilliyray asks,— " Does nybody in his senses imagine Uiat tlie t'atliolics of A'ntigonish would think of insulting any respectable Protestant minister that would eoiue among tliom ?"

Sir, toll you why 1 address these letters to yoli. Ill my account of tho condm^t of " the faithi'ul," I made several state- ments in regard to some of your dogmas, which tho editors of the Antigonish (lanhct have challenged me to prove, llori^ are the wordsof Uie Casket : "Wo know souKithiug of the tcniching of the ("atholic church i; w contained in her own text !)ooky and standard worka aiul wo confess iA(> have not seen this burning canon before.— Wo deny it ; wo (-all for t:li(> proof; let us havi the book and tho page.

Rut he must give tho true statemoiit of our ioctrino and practices from our own .standard worts." I have tried to get into the Casket, but was ahvavs " crowded out." The writers in that paper withhold their signatures, and then deal ill Viard names and soft arf/unients. Conseiiuently, I cannot trade with It hem. As you are ecclesiasti(«ally resiioiislblo for tlio conduct of your iriests and people, I will address a few letters to i/ou, and siiice I diall pay no iittention to others, they may save themselves the trouble )f writing. Yours respectfully, ARCHIBAIiD C. GlIiMES, I Minister of tho C P. Church. *Now of Westville, N. S. Mi«^m&i,iSm m 24 NtlMBKft II. To the Rt. Rev. Colin FrancUi Mackinnon, D. D., R. O. Bishop oj Rkv. SiK.— In my last letter I save you a correct account of tlw conduct ot " the taithful" in AntiKonish, which has given rise to the present controversy, and for whicli tlie public hold you responsible until you publicly denounce the outrage. Have you (lone so ? Ilavc" you chastiscl Rev. R. Mc(iillivray, your parish priest, for that verv ex niord,.-ry letter which he pul)lished in the Mm-ning Chronicle? VVhetheryouareawaroof itor not, Hir, your delay in the matter is doing you very serious injury. Owing to your position in the Church, your silence is looked upon as a tacit approval of the conduct of your subordinates.— In the Antigonish CanketlAm challenged to show' thai tlie UoniMii ("atliolic- Churcli lowers tlic standard of veracity. I am tully prcim-od to i)rove that she docs, Imt I shall not attempt to do it in the tnsket lor the reasons assigned in mv last letter. I proceed to doitnowandhere.— In his Moral Theology, Saint Liguori -ivs,- Althougli It IS not lawful to lie, or to feign what is not, yet U iV ' wfut «o rfis«cm6/c what (d, or to cover with wonls, or other amitiguous and mubtful .signs," Ac. " It is a certain and common opinion 'unong all that tor a Justt-ause it ia law/tl to use cffuivocatio'H in modes pro- pounded, and to conjirm it (the equivocation) with an oath .'"' Liguoris own Latin is ;is follows :— " His positis, (lertum est et commune apud omiies, quod ex Justa causa licitum sit uti aequi vocation e modis ex- positis, et cum juramento tirmare." St. Liguori, (juoting from St. liomas, goes on to say,— "Hence it is inferred, that a confessor can declare, even upon oath, that he does not know a sin heard in confession- by understanding as a man, not aa the Minister of Christ." Again tlu! Saint' declares,— " If one should ask a confessor whether he may have heard such a sin in confession, ho can rightlf answer, I have not heard it, tiiat is to say, as a man. Bene potest respondere : Non au- iliviJ " Nevertheless," says this old bachelor-saint, "make an ex- ception, if you have sworn to Titias to marry her ; for in that case you «!an forsake her and enter a religious order. Such oaths do not really require relaxation. However let them be ever so valid, they can i>i relaxed by the Church:^ Saint Liguori in his Moral (?) Tlieology teaches that It one steals '' only a moderate sum,'' and not " injuring 'his nei- ghbor n your pe itauee, you 'hiniquy v\ ase,— that lor magisti nent had a ung, and t lieir "youi Ir.
