Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ireland and the Holy See: A Retrospect, 1866 V. 1883, Illegal and Seditious Movements in Ireland Contrasted With the Principles of the Catholic Church as Shown in the Writings of Cardinal Cullen
How important is the teachin g of the Catholic Church upon this important matter 1 Guided by Divine Charity she ex horts the rich to put on bowels of compassion for the poor, to consider them as brethren, to respect them as members of J csus Christ; and at the same time she teaches the poor to respect the rights of property, to honour the rank and station of the great and powerful, to be obedient to those in authority, to be grateful for favours received and to pour forth fervent prayers for their benefactors 77. This pastoral address, which was read and adopted in full Synod, concludes With this quotation from Scripture: a Let every soul be subject to higher powers; for there is no power but from God; and those that are, are ordained of God. Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to Whom custom: fear, to Whom fear: honour, to whom honour. Owe no man any thing but to love one another, for he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. 1!
