FAIR-PLAY IN LITERATURE-WILLIAM AND ROBERT CHAMBERS, 305-323 :
The spirit of fair-play not yet dead in England, 305; the frank and
enlightened tone of Messrs. Chambers's publications, 305; slanderous

Definition, 324; amazing misconceptions even among Catholics respect-
ing Papal infallibility, 324; Mgr. Fessler's reply to Dr. Schulte, 325;
infallibility is only claimed for the Pope's ex cathedrâ definitions, 326;
two particulars in which we dissent from Mgr. Fessler, 326; first, when
he treats on civil allegiance, and secondly, on the assumption of tem-
poral power by the Popes, 327; success in Germany of Mgr. Fessler's
book, 328; eulogy upon it by His Holiness, 329; his doctrine on the

GLADSTONE (MR.) AND HIS CATHOLIC CRITICS, 454-509: Mr. Gladstone's
three chief Catholie crities, 454; slight points of difference between
ourselves and F. Newman. 455; stress laid by Mr. Gladstone on the
dogma of Papal infallibility, 457; the Catholic argument for that

theory that Martin V. recognized the Council as his superior, 473;
practical results of Papal infallibility, 477; for unity of faith the
Church has always been conspicuous, 478; its appointed work in the
world, 479; mediæval Popes, in proportion to their unworldliness,
would be more eager to exercise their divinely-given authority in
matters primarily temporal, 479; modern illustration of our meaning,
480; the same principles would lead a Pope of recent times to abstain
from intervention with the civil ruler, 481; the Catholics of England
equal to their fellow subjects in veneration of the civil ruler, 482; F.
Newman on the Ages of Faith, 483; on the independence of the
Church in all ages, 484; F. Newman on "liberty of conscience," 485 ;
our argument has been that the Holy See has not the same right of
exercising authority over the modern political world which it had over
mediæval Christendom, 486; Cardinal Manning's argument to the
contrary, 486; the Bull "Unam sanctam," 488; it is not to be regarded
as a definition of faith, 489; as to the meaning of the final clause, 490;
on the duty of repressing heresy, 492; the modern liberties have not
been condemned as existing in countries which have lost unity of faith,
493; instances adduced by Mr. Gladstone of Pius IX.'s intervention in
things temporal, 494; replies to his arguments, 495; Mr. Gladstone's
fixed idea on the Pope meditating violent measures for the recovery of

not projected for the purpose of facilitating such measures, 499; the
Bishop of Birmingham on the origin of the Syllabus, 502; Mr. Glad-
stone on the Pope's Supremacy, 502; F. Newman's remarks on the
subject, 503; hearty attachment of Catholics to the English laws and

GLADSTONE'S (MR.) EXPOSTULATION, 170-208: the number of subjects
treated of in Mr. Gladstone's Pamphlet, 170; such grave accusations
as he brings against Catholics should be answered only by those in
authority, 171; the inconsiderateness of the charges, 171; the rapid
spread of infidelity in England, 173; a vigorous co-operation of all
Christians necessary to combat it, 173; Mr. Gladstone seems to have
lost sight of the peril, 174; on duty to the State, 175; the Protestant
distrust of Catholicity is reasonable from the Protestant point of view,
176; but the Vatican Definitions have no legitimate tendency to
increase that distrust, 177; Mr. Gladstone on the infallibility question,
178; the Church has always claimed for herself infallibility in faith and

extracts from the opinions of several opponents of Catholicity, 187; Mr.
Gladstone on the term "ex cathedrâ," 190; the Catholic's patriotism,
191; what is true patriotism? 192; the Catholic's civil allegiance, 193;
extract from the Civiltà on the deposing power of the Popes, 195; what
other body of religionists in England are more loyal to the civil ruler
than the Catholics? 197; extracts on civil allegiance from Catholic
writers, 197; Mr. Frederick Harrison on Cæsarism, 199; Mr. Glad-
stone in his heart must deeply sympathize with the position of the
Church between anarchy and despotism, 201; Appendix on the Bull
"Unam sanctam," 201; Catholics, as such, are not obliged to accept
any doctrine in the Bull, 202; the Bull contains nothing contrary to
the traditional Catholic doctrine on the relations between Church and
State, 203; its general purport is that the Pope has power to sway the
temporal sword in any direction in which spiritual interests are con-
cerned, 206; Clement V. and Philip of France, 207; no claim has ever
been made for infallibility in matters of ecclesiastical prudence, 208.

with a semblance of Christianity, 66; Simon Magus the first Gnostic,
66; the Syrian Gnostics antagonistic to the Jewish religion, 67; the

sion for reference to the New Testament, 84; the use made of Scripture
by the Gnostics, 85; the books acknowledged by S. Irenæus to be
canonical, 88; his division of the New Testament into two parts, and
his reasons for so doing, 90; irrational to accept him as a witness for
the New Testament, and to reject him as evidence for the authority of
tradition, 92; S. Irenæus ridicules the way in which the Valentinians
garbled the Scriptures, 93; his interpretations of the mysteries and
parables of the Old Testament, 94; his belief in the possibility of a
faith based on tradition alone, 95; but he was far from underestimating
the value of the New Testament writings, 96; the Gnostics claimed to
have derived their knowledge by oral communication from the Apostles,
97; on the power of tradition, 98; Protestant testimony as to the Rule
of Faith in S. Irenæus, 100; the Church the interpreter of Scripture
