Last Sunday the third public Session of the Vatican Council

was held, and the constitution de Fide was promulgated by the unanimous vote of the 664 fathers present. The Constitu- tion contains eighteen canons condemning modern errors on the subjects of God as Creator,—Revelation,—Faith,—and Reason. The Pope has been petitioned to allow the schema concerning his own infallibility to be brought forward immediately for discussion, and our Roman Catholic contemporaries believe that the petition has been granted, and that accordingly, unless the Pope should die in the interim, the dogma will be discusse.1, accepted, and promul- gated before the Council adjourns for the hot weather.
