PATRICK'S CHURCH, MONTREAL, AT ]TAT;F -PxVST FIVE (^N MONDAY MORNING, 19th NOV;, 1877. Aiitl cxtructwl from the Montreal Witv .i ni the same date. The following is thi.- laiesi illustration of the education being con- stantly received Uy the Roman Catholics of the Province of Que- bec in regard to their fellows of a different religious belief. With such public utterances it is not difficult to understand why it is that in this Province we have Mayors troubled with yellow-phobia, jurors such as those in the Hackett case, and niurden, and attempted murders like those of the 1 2th and l6th of July last. The wonder is that in spite of their teachings tlie Roman Catholics are in the least liberal, noi that they are as they are. \ ST. PATRICK'S CMUKCH. SKRMON KV .V REDKMl'IDRISl FATHER. This (Monday; morning at half-past five one of the Redemptorist fathers preached as follows in St. Patrick's Church : The art of printing has been considered by some to be a great in- vention wherever it has been introduced ; but, like all other things which are good in theniselves, it has often lieen used for other purpos- es than those for which it was intended. It has beei^ used for other purposes than disseminating sound doctrine and sound morals. I wish to speak to you this morning about the classes of literature you must not read, about Ijad books and t)ad papers. All bad books or all iiooks forbidden by the (Jhurch to be read by good C'atholics, may be classed under three heads : first, those whose direct tendency is to destroy the doc- trines jf the Church ; secondly, those whose influence destifsys morals and doctrine indirectly ; thirdly, tho.se whose tendency is neither one nor the other, but to destroy faith. I would warn you, my chiklren, against all such. First, infidel books, by which is meant books written against revelations and intended to destroy a bidiefin things supernatu- ral — I may mention among the.se the works of 'lorn Paine, Darwin, Huxley and such men —accepting only the natural and disbelieving the supernatural. Such books are forbidden by the Church ; even a priest IS not permitted to read them, except liy permission of the archbishop, who gets the permission from Rome. This permission is sometimes granted to those whose duty it is to refute thein. Then there is another class which, while they cannot, strictly speaking, be called infidel, are heretical. Such books include .f .VLl. I'ROTESTA.NT WORKS, BKGI.NNING FIRST WITH THK Hlltl.K. If anybody asks me if the Bible is the Word of God, I answer : If they mean the Catholic Bible— Yes; if they me.in the Protestant Bible— No. The latter is the word of the devil, and is a lie, because written by t'.ie father of lies. When Luther left the Church he immediately changed the Bible to justify his actions, an I th^y have been at it ever since, until now there are.no less thai four thousand variations in the Protes- tant Bible, consisting of texts le'tout, p.rrts of texts suppressed, additions and alterations in punclu.it ion ^ hich change the meaning. This book ;,/ t ', Ciilliolics are warned atjaiiwt. 1 >o n.H think beca;ise the Church forl)icls uie reading of it that she is a tyrant, ff a mother saw her child have a razor in its hand would she not immediately take it away ? Well, the Protestant Bihle is a razor in the hand of a child ; a man may use a ra- zor because ht knows liow, and a priest may read Ijy permission a I'ro- teitant Bible becuise his education is such as to not make it dangerous to him. .Some will tell you a Catholic is not allowed to read any Bible ; if any one says a (Jatholic cannot read a Catholic iiible tell him he is a liar— tell him he is a jackr.ss. Tell him for me — with my coir.pli- uients - II K IS A JACKASS. This class of literature also comprises those newspapers and tracts of whatsoever kind that make fuit of your religion. And I find that in this city are some which are not only forbidden by the fact that they ridicule your religion, but are also specially forbidden by the Archbishop of this diocese ; and yet I learn that st);ne Catholics read them ! I low much better it would be for the Church if he were rid of such ! A Catho- lic ought not to be ashamed of his religion and read a paper of this kind to escape the sneers of Protestants. He then V)ecomes a lick -spit- tle of '.'rotestants. When a lukewarm, milk and-water Catholic like this comes to me and says he needs to on account of his business, I do hate such a Catholic ; I feel like spitting in his face. Then, my chil- dren, I would warn you against all books of superstition, for they are against faith. AH fortune-telling books are forbidden because CJod only can foretell future events ; even the angels are unable to do this, how much less men 1 Also all books of immoral tendencies pur- porting to be medical works and intended to encourage impro- l^er practices, especially those illustrated with improper cuts that a Catholic eye should never see. All novels and light reading. Now what is the duty .)f a Catholic when a book published by a Bible society is placed in his hands, or when a lady with a blue veil and a reticule on her arm, looking like a potato taken from the cellar, where it has been for ten years, hands you a tract, or, if you won't take one, sticks it under the door or in at the windovv ? Some of you are fond of fhe weed-~-somf of you s.noke— then JCST I.TOIIT VULR I'lI'K OR flCAR WITH IT, or let your wife n^.ake coffee with it. These tracts generally have four or five leaves, and are written by Methodist ministers, who have no money in their pockets, and it is done to make money and get a living. These tracts will })erhaps tell you that works are not necessary to sal'vction, or tell you untrue stories about priests or nuns ; burn them ; and when you have any doubts about a publication, come and ask your fathers comfessor. If you can read buy Catholic books and papers; subscribe to them, — they will make a good Catholic of you, and you will be able to fight Protestants with your intellect as well au your fists : the former lieing a more effective way. ■a The following is of old standing. Are the present utterances an im- provement ? —"There was a Kerry priest," began Ned Shea, "an' he had the fashion of hearin' confessions vid a slate and pencil ; an' he'd write down eve.y sin, an' the price of it opposite. Well, one day a big mount.-'.iny fellow came to his duty, an' says he, ' I bruk a man's head last Hallow Eve.' 'That's ninepence,' said the priest. ' I cut the tail ov Larry Kelly's cow.' ' That's a shillin'— oh, a shillin' that is !' And down it went on the slate. ' I nearly murdered me wife twice.' That's thruppenCe ; go on.' ' I kilt an Orangeman.' 'Whoo !' says the priest, rnbbin' out everything, ' T/iaf elancs out all the irsi /' "
