"A CHURCHMAN" ON UNION.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,—Your article, by " A Churchman," in Monday's issue, on the Pope's letter to the English people, is honest enough, but simply echoes the hereditary dislike to the mention of the Mother of Jesus with which, so many non-Catholics are tainted. I will only say that I have the greatest compassion for such deluded souls as " Churchman." It is heldin Catholic circles that to have a high feeling of respect for the Blessed Virgin is a sure mark of predestination. Christ on the cross oaid, " Son, behold thy Mother," to St. John, making her the spiritual mother of our raoe ; yet this is she of whom Cardinal Newman said of Protestants, '• Do they not cast) out her very name as evil whom we know to be the mother of the predestined ?" Nothing to me is more sad and delusive in Protestantism than to find contempt for her who was an instrument in man's redemption; the very rudeness of it is painful.— am, etc., Arquß»
