Ireland and the Pope Proscribed

Ex-Judge Maguire's new book, "Ireland and the Pope," has offended the Vatican, and is about to be proscribed, or be placed on the "Index Expurgatorius;" the book is claimed to be "entirely at variance with the doctrines of the Catholic Church." Only the works of Catholic authors are thus proscribed, generally after the author has had the privilege of calling in the first edition, and altering the book to suit Rome. Novels are not taken account of. All Protestant works are condemned in toto. This act will probably increase the circulation of Judge Maguire's work.
