BISHOP SUTER ON IRISH AFFAIRS
Nelson, Jane 27
Tbe Biehop of Nelson, preaching m tbe Cithedral yesterday, reviewed the hiatory ! of the pact half cen'u y, doiHng at length 'with tne Irish question. 'Jh's he said was one of spiritual versus temporal supremacy, and as long as Roman Catholic prifß'B and Bishops received tbelr law aad directions from an external power there could be no loyalty to the Oon^ti tuion It waa the Intervention of a third p*ity, vrboiher at Rome or New York, which troubled Ireland, an"3 Irishman who knew neither goS on well enough, m prosperity and peaca. The Roman Catholics had every right to be protected ia thoir religion, but not to the extent of allowing of teaching lei g given, which was really subversive of otdor, as setting up a spiritual Court of Appeal other than so far aa the Sup eras Be ng was ooDcorntd. It the Supreme Pontiff used the power he profeseei t > poascsb, and which was praqtioilly rec >gniaed by hiß followers, he might do much to assure the paclfi at.on of Ireland, and p .t down the barbarous raidß of MoWL,hlen, and the scarceTy lesa cruel Bchomes of boyoottara. He felt compellel to make thrse remarks on finding persons holding eminent positions In tbo c )lonlea sympathising with Ireland m her revolt.
