RecentOutburstofBigotryinMelbourne

AllegedPersecutionofProtestants---CrushingReplybytheCoadjutor-Archbishop

Now,Icommendthatprotestasa brightandshiningexampleofthe tolerancethatshedsitsgenialray fromcertainhignplacesinUlster uponthepoorProtestantswholook upforlightandleading.Thesepoor bigotsareinthe20thcentury,and treystillthinkthatacatholic shouldhedeniedeventherightto voteataParliamentaryelection.A Unionistcandidate,standingfora ParliamentaryseatinEngland,has hadthecourageandhonestytodenounceandrepudiatethissynodal protest.ButIpassitbyaithout comment. Ionlyask,whenthishappensin thesynod,whathappensinthe OrangeLodge?Andthisfrompeople whosesquealsabouttheirliberty Illiesa,vecircledtheglobe-frompeople whoclaimtobethetrueandonly defendersoflibertyofconscience,of civilandreligiousfreedom.

ProtestantAscendancyDoomed

But,afterall,thewholeworld knowsbythistimehowtoregard theutterancesofextremeProtestant factionsinUlster.

Theyareinthethickofagreat politicalbattle,andwemustnot judgethen)tooharshly.Theirdisregardfortruth,tolerance,self-respectisinsomemeasureredeemed bythegreatfightwhichtheyare making.Peoplelaughatthem.But feelthattheyaremakingalast desperateefforttomaintainthe existingandverysubstantialremnantofProtestantascendancyin Ireland. Ihopeandbelievethat theirattemptwillfail.ButIpay tributetotheirpoliticalstrategy. TheirrifleswillneverdomuchdamagetotheParliamentHouseinCollegeGreen.Icanonlyhopethat theirthreatsofdisloyaltywillbe equallypowerlessagainsttheLiberal strongholdatWestminster.
