Rome and Infallibility.

PROTESTS against the infallibility dogma are multiplying. Dr. Dollinger has been seconded from a very unexpected quarter, viz.; by the professors of the Roman University. The address of the learned Italian states: “The Episcopacy which dwells in our land is of no country, and has nothing in common with the Italian people. The syllabus, infallibility, papal autocracy—all these negations of divine and human reason—compose a system which has no connection with the Italian character, with Italian thought. Our Roman, that is to say Italian race, abhors as much as the Germanic that evil system of the bondage of the understanding.” They add that in the sacred cause of reform, the German and the Italian people will fight and conquer together. At this rate the pope and his prompters—the Jesuits—will have hardly a nationality left entirely faithful to them, unless they look to the Irish and the Irish-Americans.—New York Times.
