In these exciting times, when so formidable an array is made against the Church, I deem it particularly necessary to inculcate these divine maxims. It might appear that a combination, like that which has just been formed, calls for some corresponding effort. The imputations cast upon us of holding sanguinary principles, might prompt us to deal in recrimination. But God forbid that we should trust in the arm of flesh, and use weapons like those employed against us! Whatever may come, let us be true to the divine principles of our Holy Faith, and the ultimate triumph of Religion is secure.
