STEREOTYPED INFIDELITY.
BIBLE LESSONS IN SCHOOLS. CARDINAL MORAN'S ATTACK. (By Cable.—Press Association.— Copyright.) SYDNEY, February 0. Cardinal Moran, at a distribution of prizes in connection with the Roman Catholic Church, made an attack on the Minister for Education. He said the Scripture lessons given in the public schools were not only irreligious, but defective in literary merit. The Minister for Education had said the lessons were the joint production of the Anglican and Catholic prelates, Archbishop VVhateley ! and Bishop Murray. The statement was a falsehood, and such a barefaced one, that the Minister either made it knowing it to be false, and, if so, was unfit for the place he held, or he made the statement through inconceivable ignorance, in which case he was educationally not qualified to be Minister for Education. Cardinal Moran declared that non-sec-tarian education, as it was called, was nothing more than a nondescript system of irreligious belief, which might be more or less conformable te Protestant principles, and consistent with Protestant tenets, but as viewed by Roman Catholics was a stereotyped system of infidelity and agnosticism.
