which we trust; are few, by the story of
Rev. Clarence Wilworth's defection from
the Catholic Church. The Garette went
even so far as to state why the apostacyoo
curred, the reasons thereof. And yet, the
truth is that Rev. Clarence Walworth, si

IL T. Walwbrth and Dr. Dollinger.
The .letta ist of the 2d insfeet. contains a
cltvcrly written letter fronm Mr. M. F.
Walworth, in which he boldly avows his
desertion of the Pope and hisl adhesion to
Dr. Dollinger and the Alt Katholicks of
Bavaria. The letter is rather long for osr
columns, but we cannot forbear laying.it
before our readers, as a curiosity in its way:
Messrs. Editors:-According to the New York
2imes, of November 12th, 1871, the Methodist
s :We know of not a single prominent clerical
or la Catholie in the repnubtlio who has dared
Sopenly to Join In the noble protest of Dollinger
andl his assocites."Y
The termpramisst is susceptible of several
construootions. Se If the tollowing description
answers to that term:
My fatherwasithe late Chancellor Walwortb,
ef New York Stan, for twenty years the Chief
Judge of the Court of Chancery here. Shortly
before bein admitted to prantlee law in the
courts of ths State and the United States I
became a convert to the Roman Catholic
Church. In order intelligently to speak my
new faith, I purchbased a library of Catholic
standard authorities, several hundred volumes.
They were the works of eminent theologians,
dogmatio treatises, churobh histories of unques
tioned authority - among them Dollinger's
Church History, Mobler's Symbolism, Bishop
England's works, Lingard's works, and, in
deed, all first-class standard authorities, such
as Roman Catholic prelates and the more aso
complishebd of the clergy in this country place
upon their library shelves. I made myself
perfectly familiar with the dogmas of the
hurcb the scriptural authorities and the tra
ditiona of the Church upon which they were
founded.
The cogent reasons which induced me to
connect myself with the Church of Rome were,
that other-churches were constantly changing
their dogmas, and that truth, divine truth,I
must of its own nature be unchangeable. I
was instroucted that I had joined a Churl
whicbh held one set of dogmas, from the days
of Christ to the and of all time, and whiah,
being the Church established by Our Saviour,
could not teach in one age and to one genera
tion of men what it did not teach in another;
that whatever dogmas a man of the first cen
tory proclaimed as the dogmas of his Church, I
must be each and all the same dogmas that a
man of the nineteenth century announced as
his dogmu. It was reasonable to belloeve that
no more doctrines could be required of the
latter than of the former.
The Christian of the frst century did not.i
believe in the infallibility of the Bishop of
Rome; the American Catholics of 1860 did not 4
believe in the infalliblity of the Roman Pon- 4
tif. It was not taught to him, nor did be be
lieve it. Ig 1871 it is taught to him. and if he
does not believe it he cannot have Christian (
burial. Thus the good Catholic who died in i
1860 held just one doctrine less than the good.
Catholio of 1871 holds when he passes into the
presenoe of hbl Creator. Is this unityof faitth I
Is this belonging to an unchangeable Church ? <
I have been a member of the Roman Catholic I
Church for eighteen years. I published my
irst work as an author in defenceof the Roman I
Catholie Religion. The book, "The Mision o
of Death; or, a Tel. of the New York Penal 1
Laws of 1741," has pessed through many
editions, and Is to-day a living book, ne
editions isuing yearly. aud it can be found on
the shelves of manoy colleges, ceourvts and i
schools of the Catholio Cnurch in America. 1
wrote tbat book to in8uence othere to join an 4
unchangeable Church. The noohangeable
Church has chanced since I wrote that book.
When I wrote that book I denied the infalli
bility of the Bishop of Rome. and avowed my
belief in the infallibility.of the assembled
Bishops of the world defining articles of faith.
I wa at perfect liberty to do so. If I were to
do it toads I should he deolared a heretio and
refused Christian borial.
But I do doeny the infallibility of the Bishop
ofboms,jout as I denied is then; jnat aAroh
bishbp Purcell, of Cincinnati, denied it; just
as the learned, the great Roman Catholic
Church historisu, Dclii uer, denias it. H~e

M xrctspa Taacr WAxLwo ru.
Mr. Walworth is a layman, and claims to
have been aprominent Catholic, and a dis
Stinguaished Catholio author. His father was
a prominent man and a distinguishedjarist,
his brother-the Ret. Clarence A.rWalworth,
is a prominent Catholic, a priest, and an
able and polished writer. But Mansfeld
has never been known as apromineat Cath
olice layman, and his pretensions to have
been a Catholio author are very slenoder.
He has written and published several
novels, bnt rather anti-Poritanical than
Catholio.in spirit or tone, and better fitted
to encourage a free, rollicking life, than
Catholic faith and -plety. In his "Lola,"
there are some Catholic characters intro
dauced, as well as a caricature of his own
father; in his " Hotapur," there is nothing
to indicate that it was written by a Catho
ie. There are none of his works which
are pervaded by a Catholic spirit, unless
it be his " Mission of Death :" none of
them are as truly Catbolic in doctrine,
morality, tone or tendency, as "Merton
House," recently concluded in Appleton's
Journal. He has always seemed to us as a
writer to be one who has conformed rather
than been converted to the Church. All
his bopks, that we have read, have disap
pointed us, and have struck us as far in
ferior to what the writer might andchwould
have produced, had he been in earnest and
done his best We .do not think he has
ever been distingaluished among Catholics
as a Catholic anthor.
Mr. Walworth speaks of the library he
e of stantdard-Catholic works. Un
happily, he names not a single work that is
a standard authority on the question on
which he disagrees with the Pope and the
Council of the Vatican. He seems to have
studied his theology-in a bad school, and
to have plistalen the opinions of some
Catholics, not expressly ndengned by the
Church, as the faith of Church, thnus
confounding seteneuia in Ecci witje sea
tentie ecclesiao. The Gallican inion was
an opinion in the Church, but w never a
doctrine of the Church. Mr. Wlworth
was never taught it as Catholic faith, but
at most, only as an opinion, which the
Church had never explicitly condemned,
and therefore an opinion which he might
hold as an opinion, but not aCatholic faith.
Mr. Walworth says, "The Christian of
the first century did not believe in the in
fallibility of the Bishop of Rome."- On
what authority does he assert that Uow
does he know thatt "The Pope and the
Conncill of the Vatican teaches to the con
trary. How does he know that they are
wrong and he right. The American Cath
olic of 1860 did not believe in the infialli
bility of the Roman Pontiff. It was not
Staught tohim, nor did he believe it." We
know nothing of American Catholisea,
though we know some very worthy Catholic
Americans. Catholicityknows no national
distinctions, and has nothing to do with
them. Catholic Americans in 1860, as Ca
tholics throughout the world, were taught
that, whether the Pope is infallible or not
is a question not yet formally decided by
the infallible authority, and no written
opinion can, pending the litigation, be pro
nounced orthodox or heterodox. Gallican
Ism, to say the least, was nowhere taught
or permitted to be held as Catholic faith,
and no one ever pretended that the so-called
Ultramontane doctrine had been explicitly
and implicitly condemned as repugnant to
the faith. Mr. Walworth is a lawyer. The
dispute has been carried up to the Sanpreme
Court, and decided. Does he pretend that
the decision of the court has changed the
law that in declaring what the law is and
tways rfis- beenti-a the point disputed, it
introduced a new law If so,God help
his clients.
The decision of the case in litigation by
the court of last resort, every lawyer
know., simply declares and applies the
law, makes what before has been uncertain,
known and certain and closes the question,
which henceforth is res adjudicata, and it
would be ridiculous to pretend that the de
cision of the court h6ad changed the law and
made that to be law which was not iqw be
fore. The most that can be said is, that the
decision settles that to be law which wse not
certainly known to be law before its de
cision. Well, the question In dispute con
cerning the Papal infallibility has been
carried up to the BSpreme Court of the
Church and decided, and decided in favor
of infallibility, and oar legal friend steps
gravely forward, and says the court, be
cause it has settled the law, that is, the
faith has made that to be faith in 1871
which was not faith in 1860. He then de
oounces the coart, that is, the Church, as
ehangeable, and no longer unchangeable as
he had believed her.
Time Church, in the desintion Impugned,
declares that the infallibility of the pope in
the soeno defloed has always been the doo
trioo of the Church. and has always been
Catholic faith. To prove that she has
changed the faith or introduced new faith,
it is necessary to sbow that she has pre
viously taught or declared the contrary to
be of Catholic faith. Does our lawyer, who
arraigns the defnition, show or attempt to
show a contrary de8nition or deciesion?
Not the lesat io the world. All be alleges
or can allege is that on a debated qlieition
he is no longer free to deny that to be law
which he considered himself free to deny
before the deaision of the court. Suppose
the court had decided in 4ii favor instead
of agaist him?
The Pope and Coulnil, that is, the court
of last resort, has decided that the infalli
bility of the P. the assistance of the

less excused by iavtnelble Ignorance; bu
not in the exterior M~m, because prior to
the 18th of Jaly, 10, there was no canon
of the Churob explictly condemning it.
Why the Chtch did not condemn it ex
licitly sooner, she has told us, and we
ave no right tpeak her for her reasons.
Possibly her reasons are prudential, like
those ofthe bishops who in the Council of
the Vatican opposed, not the doctrine, but
the definition. She has thought it best so
longu Gallica) accepted and promptly
obeyed the Papal Constitution, to leave
them in good faith, and not to change their
material heresy into formal heresy. Mr.
Walworth does not appear to be aware of
the distinction between material heresy and
formal, but seems to suppose that there is
heresy only in the denial of what the
Church has explicitly and formally defined
to be dejide, and as no definitions are made
of any article or proposition of faith till it
is controverted, we see not, if his supposi
tion be true, how there can ever be either
faith or iheresy. On his theory an infallible
and unchangeable Church could never de
olde any controversy.
Archbishop Purcell opposed the defini
tion in the Council, as did a number of
other prelates, as inopportone, inexpedi
ent, or unnecessary. not the doctrine itself.
Mr. Walworth, by hlis own principlaesor the
Catholicity he accepted when he conformed
to the Church. is bound to accept Papal in
fallibility, fprheadmits that he was taught
that the fallibility of the Church is ex
pressed by General Councils, and this defi
nition is certainly made in a General Coun
cils. Te attempt toevadettiis by 8ontend
log that the definition was not made by the
free action of the assembled bishops, that
they were even forced by the Pepe, and
intrigues and factious proceedings of the
Jesuits, to make it, is perfectly idle, and to
forget that General Concils are guided
and assisted by the Holy Ghost. The Pope
exercised no restraintla but such as Popes
iave always exercised over Generiif Coun
cils, far les, than some of them, St. Greg
ory X., for insatance, in the Second General
Councilof Lyons; and the factions and in
trigues of the Jesuite were not, at worst,
more effective than the inflauence of the
Emperor Marcian, and the Imperial Court
at Chalcedon. All definition in General
Councils are usually made by the Pope,
who presides in person,-the-Sacred Council
approving, and no acts of a Council not
approved by the Pope have any legal value,
for the Chiurchbs Papal, not simply Epis
copal. If the Council of the Vatican was
not (Ecumenical, there *ever was an tEec
meaical Council, and if the definition of
Papal infallibility is invalid, no act of any
Council can be proved to be valid and bind
ing on the faithful.
Mr. Walworth says Dr. Dollinger is right,
and of course, the Pope and Council are
wrong, and as a brave man and a "free
American citizen, lie will stand by him and
the Alt Kathblikse. But we would remind
him that he cannot do so, and still pretend
even to belong to the old Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church has always been gov
erned by the Pope, and bishops, and more
over, has always, since St. Peter erected
his chair in the city of Rome, recognized
the Roman Church as the " mistress and
mother of all the chnrches." Your Alt
Katholiks do not recognize the authority of
the Roman Church; they have neither
Pope nor bishops, and no means or authori
ty to reproduce either, and they are and
can be at best only Presbyterians, not so
much even as Eptscopalians. Besides Dr.
Dollinger holds, whas is certainly an inno
vation, that the Church, even Popes and
Councils, must be governed by a body of
learned and scientifico men, thus making
the Church a purely human institution,
depending on the wisdom, sagacity and
learning of University professors. Does
Mr. Walworth say be is right In thist If
he does, what right has he to call himself
an " Old Catholic " Dr.-Dollinger is
neither an old Catholic nor a new Catholic,
for he is simply no Catholic at all, mince he
virtually denies the supernatural guidance
ad assistance of the Holy Ohost. Does
Mr. Walworth do the same f Places he no
faith in the promises of Our Lord to His
Chuorch
Mr. Walworth must pardon us for sng
esting that it is possible that he has, in his
aste to assert his freedom as a free born
American oitizen, not duly considered the
position in which he has placed himself.
He has renounced and denounced the Ca
thollo Church, and in so doing he has de
nied that God has any Church on earth, or
that man has any means of salvation. He
ham deprived himself of boause and home.
Will he return to Protestantism I But the
Protestants sects are none of them any bet
ter than they were, and he has all the rea
sons for leaving them that he had when he
originally left them.- Build a new Church I
