MAJOR SHERMAN REPLIES TO THE MONITOR.
Will Decide the Controversy

mitted.
HE HAS NO PREJUDICE.

THE CHTJKCH AND THE STATE.
Father Yorke Writes of the Teaching
of His Church on Civil Au»
thority.
Major Sherman is in somewhat of a
quandary over the present status of the
Ross- Yorke controversy. He said yes
terday:
It is somewhat difficult to understand what
Rev. Father Yorke is after. I said nothing
about him when I first accepted the appoint
ment as an arbiter and I do not see what he is
driving at. Why all this beating about the
bush? If these points are as easily settled as
both sides claim they can be, then for my sake
let us have them and let us decide the matter
and have done with it.
Regarding Father Yorke's reprintine certain
items from the Monitor in to-day's Call I have
nothing to say. I cannot help what the editor
of that paperthinks about me and neither do
I care. Ido not see that all this has anyihing
to do with the points at issue. Nothing will
)■ -'ttled by publishing columns of communi
cations day after day in the newspapers.
Either Key. Mr. Ross Is right or Father Yorke
>s. Ido not care which. This is not a case the
judgment of which will settle anything any
thing of vital importance. It is merely "a
question of a difference between two men and
--cs no great significance as between
creeds.
It is a mistake to think that it will establish
the truth or falsity of any existing tenet of
Catholic or Protestant faith. It is merely a
dispute between two men and mfght havo been
settled weeks ago. I do not knowßev. Mr. Ross
more than as to a bowing acquaintance. He
came here last Saturday and requested me to
act as one of the judges. This 1 consented to
do. I have absolutely nothing to do with the
American Protective Association. Ido not be
long to it, although my sympathies have al
ways been with the Protestant movement. I
havf read none ot the matter in the various
papers and have said nothing on the subject.
Therefore I believe I am a competent judge.
When I say my sympathies are with the Ameri
can Protective Association, I do not wish it un
derstood that I carry my spmpathies onto the
bench of justice, for I should be false to myself
were I to allow such an idea to go out.
I have not taken any steps toward meeting
Mr. Foote, lor rvhose integrity and legal iearn
tng I have great respect. We are strangers to
each other. I never met Mr. Foote in my life
as I know. He is Father Yorke"s appointee
hihl was the first named. I believe It is his
duty to notify me if he desires to proceed in
the matter. I have in mind several good men
for the third judge, but until he calls on me to
discuss the matter I shall do nothing. Ido not
think it would be right for me, or respectful to
Mr. Foote, to mention any of my preferments,
and so I will not do it.
1 think the same as Mr. Foote is reported as
thinking. That is that this matter is not to
decide a theological controversy, but merely
to say whe'her certain things are in certain
books or whether they are not.
1 do not intend to pay any attention to
Father Yorke's reflection on me as a man, be
cause that is best answered by my standing in
the community. It is certainly not a thine for
newspaper controversy. It would as well be
come me to speak disrespectfully of the Society
of Jesus or any other order lhat'prevails in the
Roman Catholic church.
I have been elected the National president of
the Veteran Masonic Association of the United
States, which is the highest office in the gift of
the Blue lodge. My whole life's history is en
open page behind me, and it has not a blur on
it. I would not stoop now to consider or an
swer such an attack. It would only rebound
on me. What he says in that connection only
exposes him to the public in a light in which
I should greatly dislike to be seen.
I see also that the Monitor contradicts what
I *aid about it calling me the biggest liar on
the Pacific Coast. In to-day's Call I see it
says "the most conscienceless liar on the Pa
cific Coast," and then it says it did not say this
"recently." It was last March only, and "when
a man gets to my age nine months" is certainly
more •'recent" than ancient. I see no differ
ence at all in the language and I am perfectly
satisfied that the language I used has been
used in regard to me in the Monitor.
I do not understand what Father Yorke
wants. It appears as though he were wanting
to indulge in a newspaper controversy instead
of carrying out the original pian. I said I
would eive the devil a fair trial and I am still
prepared to do so. I stand to-day as an un
biased juror. I have said nothing on one side
.or the other of the merits of this controversy
and have read nothing retarding it. I am a
regular attorney and have my certificate show
ing when and where 1 was admitted to practice
before the Superior Court.
I understand that ell we have to do is to take
papers which Rev. Mr. Ross will submit to us and
decide whether or not certain statements are
to be found in them. That is all I have to say
at this time. I expect that Mr.'Foote with soon
communicate with me. but in the meantime I
£hall not discuss the matter. Ido not intend
that when the questions are submitted to us
I shall have any prior knowledge of them.
THE CHUBCH AND STATE.
Father Yorke Defines the Catholic Teaching
as to Civil Authority.
Rev. Father Yorke sets forth the teach
ing of the Catholic church on civil author
ity in the following letter:
Bah Francisco, Dec. 20, 1895.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Call— Dear
Sir: Yesterday I laid before you direct and
fwern contradictions of the alleged oaths pub
lished by (}. A. Hubbard. Ido not think that
additional words can lend new strength to
these depositions. However, there area few
joints growing out of the oaths themselves
which I wish to touch. I trespass on your
courtesy with some observations on the radical
(ii-crcpeney between the sentiments of these
forgeries and the doctrines and history of the
Catholic church.
The burden of the two oaths isthat the Pope
is the supreme civic ruler of the world, that all
Protestants are damnable and to be damned,
that it is lawful to do evil in order to advance
the interests oi the church. I will deal with
these three points as briefly as I can.
I. The first insinuation then is that the Pope
is supreme civil ruler of the world; that he
specifically declares Protestant Governments
to oe illegal, and that priests and Jesuits are
sworn to destroy said Protestant Governments
and to bring them to naught. I hereby de
nounce these insinuations as opposed to the
doctrines of the church and to the known factb
'of history.
1. The Catholic leaching concerning the re
lations of church and state arc simple and de
cisive. We believe that;the state is supreme
in civil matters and the church is supreme in
religious matters. The church has no right to
interfere with the state, and the motto of the
state should be, "Hands oft' the church." I
quote as my autnority for this statement not
any subordinate theologian, but the present
head of the Catholic church, Leo XIII himself.
In a circular letter, published on November 1
l-»:>, he writes:
"The Almighty has appointed the charge of
the human race between two powers, the
ecclesiastical and the civil, the one being set
over divine and the other over human things
F.aeh in its kind is supreme, each has fixed
limits within which it is contained, limits
which are donned by the nature and special
object of the province of each, so that there is,
we mny say, an orbit traced out within which
the action of each is brought into play by its
own native right. Whatever, therefore,' in
things human is of (•acred character, what
ever belongs, either of its own I'ature or by
reason oi tne end to which it is referred, to the
salvation of souls or to the worship of God, is
subject to the power and judgment of the
Church. Whatever is to be ranged under the
civil and political order is rightly subject to
the civil authority. Jesus Christ has himself
given command that what is Caesar's is to be
rendered to Cesar, and that wuat belongs to
God is to be rendered to God."
The civil allegiance oi Catnolics, therefore
belongs not to the Pope nor to any ecclesias,
tical power, but to our country and our Gov
ernment. It n-attcr* not what may be the re
ligious profession of that country or the pri
vate belief of the membersof that Government.
Our allegiance is given not to creed but to
constitutions, and it makes no difference
whether the rulers be Turks, Jews or Moham
medans.
In the year 1791, when the calumnies which
are circulated to-day were believed almost
universally in Great Britain, William Pitf. the
English Prime Minister, sent the following
questions to the Catholic universities of Eu
rope:
"First— Has the Pope, or have the Cardinals
or any body of men, or has any individual of
the church of Rome any civil authority, power,
jurisdiction or pre-eminence whatever within
the realm of England ?
"Second— Can me Pope, or Cardinals, or any
body of men, or any individual of the church
of Rome, absolve or dispense his Majesty's sub
jects from their oath of allegiance upon any
pretense whatever?
"Third— ls there any principle in the tenets
of the Catholic faith by which Catholics are
justified in not keeping faith with heretics or
other persons different from them in religious
opinions in any transactions, either of a pub
lic or private nature?"
To these questions the universities answered
unanimously :
"First— That the Pope, or Cardinals, or any
body of men or any individual of the church of
Rome has not and have not any civil author
ity, power, jurisdiction or pre-eminence what
ever within the realm oi England.
"Second— That the Pope or Cardinals, or any
oodv of men, or any individual of the church
of Rome, cannot absolve or dispense his
Majesty's subjects from their oath of aliegi
ance upon any pretext whatsoever; and
"Third— That there is no principle in the
tenets of the Catholic faith by which Catholics
are justified in not keeping faith with heretics
or other persons differing irom them in relig
ions opinions, Jn transactions either of a pub
lic or private nature."
These, Mr. Editor, are genuine expressions of
Catholic teaching. They show that the allegi
ance of Catholics to the civil power is as full
and undivided as the allegiance of any other
body of men whatsoever and they demonstrate
how* utterly opposed to our doctrines are the
wild imprecations contained in the forged
oaths.
The history of America, not to speak of the
history of all other countries, shows that Cath
olics, laymen and priests.yield to none in their
loyalty to patriotism. We can search every
page of the records of American history and
W<B shall search in vain if we look for the
name of a Catholic traitor. After the War of
Independence American Catholics were not
afraid to appeal to him who knew what they
had done and suffered to bear testimony to
their record. In an address presented in the
name of the Catholic community to George
Washington occur these words:
"The prospect of national prosperity is pecu
liarly pleasing to us on another account; be
cause, while our country preserves her free
dom and independence, we shall have a well
founded title to claim from her justice, the
enual rights of citizenship, as the price of our
blood spilt under your eye, and of our common
exertions for her defense, under your auspicious
conduct."
Washington's answer admits the justice of
the claim. His words should be committed to
memory by every liberal American and re
torted on "those "who would question the loy
alty of Catholics. He said:
''As mankind become more liberal they will
be more apt to allow that all those who con
duct themselves as worthy members of the
community are equally entitled to the protec
tion oi civil government. I hope ever to see
America among the foremost nations in ex
amples of justice and liberality; and I pre
sume your fellow-citizens will not forget the
patriotic part you took in the accomplishment
of their revolution and the establishment of
their Government, or the important assistance
which they received from a nation in which
the Roman Catholic faith is professed."
This address is notable also, because among
the names signed to it occurs that of John
Carroll, first Catholic Bishop of Baltimore. The
alleged oaths are said to be taken by priests
and Jesuits, and here is one who was both a
priest and a Jesuit. In the great struggle for
freedom he did more than a man's part. He
was sent by the Continental Congress into
Canada to secure the adhesion or at least the
neutrality of the French Canadians. He was
sent to France to second the efforts of Franklin
to obtain that alliance without which Ameri
can independence could not have been won.
When the great philosopher was almost in
despair the humble priest was able to reach
the Queen and her influence carried the day in
favor of America. Through all his iife the
Father of his country entertained the deepest
respect for this priest and Jesuit, and Custis,
Washington's adopted son, wrote on the occa
sion of Bishop Carroll's death:
"From his exalted worth as a minister of
God, his stainless character as a man, and,
above all, his distinguished services as a pa
triot of the Revolution, Dr. Carroll stood high
very high— in the esteem and affections of the
pater patriae."
Since the days of the founders the loyalty
and patriotism of Catholics have not waned.
In the second war with England, in the war
with Mexico, in the great Civil War, they
showed that in bravery and devotion they
were second to no other class of citizens in this
Republic. I need not here dwell on the names
and the deeds of our Catholic heroes. These
oaths deal with priests, and I merely call your
attention to one great priest who, in the dark
days of the Civil War, did yeoman 'service for
the cause of union— John Hughes, the Arch
bishop of New York.
Let me quote from a non-Catholic publica
tion, the National Cyclopedia of American
P.ioeraphy— volume 1, page 194— a single para
graph:
-as soon as the civil war was formally
declared Archbishop Hughes placed himself
on the side of the Government and asserted
that tue most energetic measures should be
adopted for the support of the National
authority; and when his friend William H.
Seward was appointed Secretary of State he
wrote him every few days informing him
concerning the state of feeling among the
people. President Lincoln in an autograph
letter bore testimony to the value of the advice
given. It was but natural that Secretary
Seward should turn to him when it was
decided to send unofficial representatives to
European Governments to present correct facts
in regard to the breaking out of the war. He
accepted the mission and left the country as
plenipotentiary."
The result of his work abroad may be in
ferred from the following letter written by
Seward on the occasion of the Archbishop's
demise:
Department of State, \
Washington, Jan. 13, 1864. {
To the Very Rev. William Starrs. Administrator
of the Diocese of New York— Very Rev. and Dear
Sir: The President of the United States has
put into my hands the invitation to at
tend the obsequies of the late Archbishop
Hughes, with which he was favored by you.
■\\ hile it was Impossible for him to accept the
invitation, he has, nevertheless, earnestly
desired to rind some practical mode of mani
festing the sorrow with which he received
intelligence of that distinguished prelate's
demise, and his syinpatny with his country
men, and with the religious communion over
which the deceased presided, in their great
bereavement. I have, therefore, on his behalf,
to request that you will make known in such
manner as will seem to you most appro
priate tliat, having formed the Archbishop's
acquaintance in the earliest days of our coun
try's present troubles, his counsel and advice
were gladly sought and continually received
by the Government on those points whicn his
position enabled him better than others to
consider.
At a conjuncture of deep interest to the
country the Archbishop, associated with oth
ers, went abroad and did the Nation a service
there, with all the loyalty, fidelity and prac
tical wisdom which on so many other occa
sions illustrated his great ability for adminis
tration.
Humbly hoping that the loss which the
church and the state have sustained in the re
moval of the nead of your archdiocese may,
through the blessing of God. be repaired, so
that what has been an unspeakable gain to him
may not be a permanent cause of sorrow to
them, I have the honor to be, respectfully,
your obedient servant,
William H. Sewakd.
And yet we are asked to believe, Mr. Editor,
that this great man and all like him nave
sworn to destroy and bring to naught all
heretical governments.
I may conclude this portion of my letter by
quoting the solemn declaration of "the Arch
bishops, Bishops aud clergy of the United
States assembled in council at Baltimore in
1884. In their pastoral letter they set forth
the eternal truth of Catholic loyalty, so that
ah who read may understand:
"We think we can claim to be acquainted
both with the laws, spirit and institutions of
the Catholic church and with the laws, insti
tutions and spirit of our country, and we em
phatically declare that there is no antagonism
between them. The Catholic finds himself at
home in the United States, for the influence of
his church has constantly been exercised in
behalf of individual rights and popular liber
ties. And the right-minded American nowhere
finds himself moreat home than in the Catholic
church, for nowhere else can he breathe that
atmosphere of divine truth which alone can
make us free.
"We repudiate with equal earnestness the as
sertion that we need to lay aside any of our de
votions to our church to be true Americans;
the insinuation that we need to lay aside any
of,our !ove for our country's principles and in
stitutions to be faithful Catholics.
"To argue that the Catholic church is hostile
to our great Republic because she teaches that
•there is no power but from God'; because,
therefore, back of the event's which led to the
formation of the Republic she sees the provi
dence of God leading to that issue, and back of
our country's laws the authority of God as their
sanction— this is evidently so illogical and con
tradictory an accusation that we are astonished
to hear it advanced by persons of ordinary in
telligence. We believe that our country's he
roes were the instruments of the God oi na
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1895.
tions in establishing this home of freedom ; to
both the Almighty and his instruments in the
work we look with grateful reverence and to
maintain the inheritance of freedom which
they have left us, shouM it ever— which God
forbid— be imperiled, our Catholic citizens will
be found to stand forward as one man ready to
pledge anew, their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor.' "
I am under the impression, Mr. Editor, that
these declarations from Catholic teachers and
these facts from American history should show
conclusively how utterly opposed to our belief
and practice are the sentiments of these
alleged oaths. I set them before your readers
in order that they may judge for themselves
how cruel is the calumny which would ascribe
such oaths to us.
11. The second insinuation contained in
these forgeries is that we look upon all Protes
tants as damnable and to be damned. We are
accustomed to hear the charge that we are in
tolerant and we bear the charge in patience
hoping that our acts and lives will give it the
lie. We try to live in peace with our separated
brethren some of whom are of our own flesh
and blood, bound to us by the bands of Adam.
We do not relish that we should be pictured as
going around among these Protestants with
hate in our hearts and a savage joy that all
except ourselves are doomed to damnation.
No Cataolic gives place in histhoughts to such
an unchristian doctrine, and the church warns
us that it is our business to keep out of hell
ourselves — not to be ready to consign others
thereto.
The Catholic teaching about the responsi
bility and future fate of Protestants is such
that the mere statement of it will appeal to
American common-sense. In the first place
we believe that Christ established a church
and commanded all to belong to it. We be
lieve that this church is the Roman Catholic
church and that it is God's wish that every
man should enter. We believe that any man
who knows and agrees that the Catholic
church is the true church and still refuses to
belong to it imperils his soul. The reason is
simple. Here is one who knows that God has
commanded him to do a certain act and who
still refuses to do that act, namely, to enter
the church. He knowingly and willfully
breaks what he conceives to be God's law and
therefore |he must take the consequences.
Coucerning those who do not believe that
the Catholic church is the true church, we
teach that as long as they are under that im
pression they should not join us. Let me quote
Busenbaum.a famous Jesuit theologian: "A
heretic, as long as he judges his sect to be more
or equally deserving of belief, has no obliga
tion to believe [in the church]," and he con
tinues: "When men who have been brought
up in heresy, are persuaded from boyhood that
we impugn and attack the word of God , that we
are idoiators, pestilent deceivers, and therefore
are to be shunned as pestilences, they cannot,
while this persuasion lasts, with a 6afe con
science hear us.'" 1. 1, p. 54.
As long as Protestants are convinced of the
truth of their own belief and live up to their
laws and regulations, and try to serve God ac
cording to their lights, we believe and teach
that there are uncovenanted mercies whose
limits no man dare mark. I will quote for you
Pius IX, who in an encyclical dated August
10, 1863, said to the Bishops of Italy: "We
and you know that those who lie under in
vincible ignorance as regards our most holy
religion, and who, diligently observing the
natural law and Its precepts, which are en
graven by God on the hearts of all, and pre
pared to obey God, lead a good and upright
life, are able by the operation of the power of
divine light and grace to obtain eternal life."
This, and not the wild and fearful senti
ments of the alleged oaths, is the true teach
ing of the church. I ask you, Mr. Editor, is
there anything in it repugnant to common
sense or to brotherly love. We believe we
have the true church. We believe that all
men would be better off if they thought as we
do. But as long as they are separate from us
in good faith we leave them to the tender
mercies of him who longed after the other
sheep which were not of this fold.
111. The third calumny contained In these
oaths is that we believe it lawful to commit
evil in order to advance the interests of the
church. We are represented as ready to deny
our own religion, to masquerade as Protestants,
to perjure ourselves, to rob and to murder for
the good of noly church. Allow me to repeat
what I said in my last letter, that Catholic
theology distinctly forbids the doing of evil
in order that good may come. As I then said, if
the telhng of the most trivial lie would make
America Catholic to-morrow it would not be
lawful for us to tell that lie.
No one who knows history can for a moment
suppose that the Catholic church has sanc
tioned such a monstrous doctrine. Let me re
mind you, Mr. Editor, that the Catholics of
Great Britain and Ireland suffered themselves
to be robbed of their titles, their civil rights,
their property, their reputation, rather than
swear a false oath. At any time during the
operation of the Penal Code, which the A. P. A.
would revive in this land of freedom, the
Catholics might have obtained complete liberty
by swearing that they believed in the doctrines
of Protestanism. If the Catholic church al
lows men to do evil in order that good may
come, why did she not give license to her chil
dren then to perjure themselves? But no;
rather than violate their consciences, they en
dured poverty, the dungeon, the rack and the
gibbet at the hands of the forefathers of those
who now come to us declaiming about the hor
rors of Popery and liberty of belief.
It is a painful thing to recall old memories
of the days of persecution for conscience sake.
The genuiue Protestants of to-day detest the
intolerance of the past as heartily as do Catho
lics. It is only the narrow, the prejudiced, the
bigot who would bring back those days of hate.
Such, Mr. Ediior, are the intrinsic reasons
why every sensible man will admit that these
oaths are false, spurious and iorged. The sen
timents contained in them are, as has been
well said In the affidavits published by you
yesterday, contrary to the divine law, to the
teachings of the church and the dictates of
our natural reason.
I will take up the communications of Messrs.

some raresetting all the City's fairest buds
and flowers seemed to have embowered
themselves amid surrounding of surpass
ing loveliness. The witchery of dimpling
arm and gleaming bosom seemed to invest
itself with some mysterious new potency
whereby to charm the eye and captivate
the soul.
Odd Fellows' Hall in which the event
took place was adorned with a magnifi
cence and taste equally above all cavil and
beyond all praise. The great chandelier
in the center of the hall was wreathed in
waxy smilax and half hidden by feathery
ferns, amid which clusters of white and
pale rose orchids nestled, held in place by
ribbons in soft harmonious tints. From
this lovely environment the central lights
shone forth, their dazzling radiance soft
ened by fairy shades, producing an effect
altogether indescribable in its elfin beauty.
Prickly holly with its blood-red berries
mingled charmingly with waving palms
upon the stage, which was furthermore
festooned with ropes of myrtle, box and
smilax. So much for the green part of the
decorations. But the flowers which made
the stage seem like a dream of paradise,
gleaming starlike amid the somber foliage
or swaying gently in hanging baskets,
cannot be described m lifeless black and
white. The shades on all the incandescent
lamps were either white or red, in every
shade from the palest rose to the deepest
and richest crimson. Streamers of the
same colors were suspended from the
center of the hall, extending to the walls
on every side, terminating in fancifully
pointed ends, from which depended tiny
Japanese lanterns of white and rose.
Baskets of lilies garlanding in swaying
ropes of smilax hung in the corners and
from the balustrade of the gallery, which
in turn was embowered in dwarf cedar and
fir trees, charmingly relieved by dainty
bamboo shoots and a wealth of chrysan
themums in every imaginable shade.
At the extreme west end of the gallery
hung a magnificent drapery of white bro
cade elaborately figured with gold in the
most intricate and bewildering arabesques,
and caught up by cords and tassels of gold
thread. There was nothing in the way of
illumination beyond the usual comple
ment of electric lights and the tiny lan
terns already mentioned, and as every
light was shaded anything like a glare was
avoided and the general effect rendered
more beautiful and striking.
The affair was especially noteworthy on
account of the predominance of the
younger ladies of society. The debutantes
were as largely in evidence as at any of
the germans now relegated to the back
number volumes of the City's social his
tory, while the number of young unmar
ried women whose debuts date back a
space, more or less, was greater than Odd
Fellows' Hall has seen so tar this winter.
A sprinkling of society matrons and a
goodly attendance of the older men, with
many army and navy officers, made up a
quorum that inaugurated the Friday series
with decided eclat.
The cotillon, which began promptly at
9:30, was led by E. M. Greenway and Miss
Hannah Williams, one of the season's
most beautiful debutantes. They were as
