ENCYCLICAL LETTER ■ - (.)F OUR HOLY FATUEll POPE PIUS IX., ORDERING PRAYERS AND ANNOUNCING A NEW JUBILEE. To all the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Catholic world. Nt.vKRABLK Brothehs — Healtii and Apostohcal Benediction: — It is for Us no slight subject of sorrow to behold what a sad and lamentable spectacle is presented by our holy religion and civil, society in these calamitous times. None among you, Venerable Brothers, is ignorant of the perfidious artifices, the monstrous doctrines, the coip(piracie« I deplorable darkness which blinds so many minds, the vehement war which is waged against the whole Catholic religion and this Apost'oli hair ; the implacable hatred which persecutes virtue and honesty ; hence the most shameful vices which usurp the name of virtue ; the unbridled license of thinking, corrupting, doing everything, and daring everything; the absolute impatience of all restraint, all power, and all authority ; the derision and contempt for the most sacred things, for the holiest laws, tor the most excellent institutions; hence, above all, the deplorable corruption of thoughtless youth, the poisonous inundation of bad books, pamphlets, and journals profusely circulated, and propagating everywhere the principles of evil; hence the deadly venom of indifTerentism and incredulity, the seditious movements, the sacrilegious conspiracies, 4he mockery and outrage of all laws, human and divine. You are not ignorant, either. Venerable Brethren, what anxiety, what uncertainty, what painful hesitation, what terror, fills and agitates all minds, particularly the minds of good men, who believe with reason that public and private interests have reason to fear every misfortune when men, wandering miserably from the laws of truth, justice, and religion, in order to give themselves up to the detestable allurements of unbridled passions, meditate every species of crime. In the midst of so many dangers who does not see that all our hopes ought to rest -olely in God, our salvation ; that to Him we ought con- tinually to raise our fervent prayers, in ord' - ■• i. ■• ■•»;'■•.■« --'■i'r">;. ■•»•.'"'• -Ji -.-.'?■..'■..♦». ,^i \ i 3rd. Every one shal' visit orjoe three Cliurciiea, or one Churcli or Chapel three times, according to tlie uppoiiitmetii made by the respective missionaries ; and there he will offer, during some space of time, pious prayers to the Lord for the Eraltation and Prosperity of our Holy Mother the Church and that of the Apostolic See, for the Extirpation of Heresies, for the Peace and concord of Christian Princes, for peace and union amongst all the Chrislian People. 4th. Evt«ry one shall fast one day during the same space of time. 6th. Every one shall give, according to his devotion, some alms to the poor, and a pious offering in Behalf of the Most Relinious Work of the Prop.affation of the Faith. [Our intention is that the Association for tlie Propagation of the Faith, which is earnestly recommended by His HoHness to the zeal of the Bishops, should be revived in our Diocese, and carried on according to thi^Decroo of Our Illustrious Predecessor in his Pastoral Address of the 2nd February 1844, which is quoted at the end of this Our Pastoral Address and hereby Confirmed by us.] 6th. To those who will have faithfully complied with the aforesaid Conditions, His Holiness Mercifully grants Plenary Indul- gence in the foim of Jubilee, which may be equally applied by Way of Suffrage to the Relief of the Souls in Purgatory. Besides the conditions and the favours just now exposed, Dearly Beloved Brethren, the Encyclical Letter of His Holiness con- fers on Confessors the most unlimited Powers in Relialf of Religious Communities, of infirm persons, of Sinners of every description, of men unfortunately connected witli Secret Societies and of any Christian bound by Private Vows or by Ecclesiastical Censures, to help efficaciously every one to extricate himself from any difficulty and to advance in tho Way of his Sanctification and Eternal Salvation. Trusting on Divine Mercy, on the maternal intercession of the Most Immaculate Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and on the protection of the Glorious Archangel St. Michael, Patron of our Diocese ; We confidently expect that this Extraordinary Blessing of the Jubilee Will prove Salutary to Every one of Our Beloved Children i'l Christ. Shall the present Pastoral Address be read at Mass in all the Churches of the Diocese on the first Sunday after its reception. EXTRACT OF THE PASTORAL ADDRESS OF THE RIGHT REV. BISHOP POWER, DATED THE 2nv FEBRUARY 1844, FOR THE ESTABLISHING OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH. Having pnEviousLV invoked the most Holy Name of God: I. We by these Presents, establish in the Diocese of Toronto, in the Province of Canada, the Msoeiation for the Propagation of the Fuith* which We hereby declare to be united to and in conne.sion with the Inslitntinn of the same name and the Central Councils already estalilislird in the Cities of Lyons and of Paris, in the Kingdom of France, with all the Pririleces, Indulgences and other Spiritual advantages granted by the Soveieign Pontiffs to the same: We humbly beg of Almighty GotI to shed his most abundant blessings on all the faithful who may become members of the saiil Association, H. To co-operate with this great Institution, only two things are necessary. 1st. To apply once for all, to this intention, the Our Father and Hail Miry of either morning or evening prayer, with this short invocation, " St. Francis Xavtrius pray for us." 2mtly. To give in alms lor the Missions one iialf-penny every week. IH. To farjlitate the Collection of alms, one Subscriber iVom every ten is charged with receiving them. He hands over the amount to another member of the Institution who has to receive ten similar cnljpctions.that is a hundred subscriptions, and this latter hands over in his turn his receipt to a third who is chara^d with leceiving ten collections of the same valuo, that is a thousand subscriptions, the whole to be forwarded to the Secretary of the Diocese who gives an acotm* of all the receipts to a romniilfee appointed in Toronto for that nurj^ose, the niendieis of which send or at least make known every six months to the Treasurer of the Councils of Paris and of Lyons the full amount of all the sums which have been received. IV. The Spiritual advantages attached to the Association are : 1st. A Plenaiy ln. » I hac A'ice laiilnm absoUere valeaiit.
