Revival of the Spanish Inquisition

By Editor

Revival of the Spanish Inquisition.—The Scripps-Blades New Association furnish us with this significant item of news:—

"MADRID, May 24.—The clerical party is urging the government mildly to revive the Inquisition for the suppression of Protestant schools in Spain."

This is significant, not as showing the character of the Papacy, but the times in which we are living. What the Papacy is in Rome, she is elsewhere. The demand of the clerical party is not surprising; the Inquisition is the inevitable logic of the Papacy.
