Mr. 'Mortimer O'Sullivan has attempted to make good, construc- tively,
his charge against Mr. O'Connell, of representing it to be es- sential to the Catholic religion to believe it to be right to break faith with heretics and murder them, by quoting a passage from the Dublin Review, of which Mr. O'Connell is editor. This passage is to the effect that the Rheimish notes to the New Testament were circulated in England by Philip of Spain, with the view to the invasion of Eng- land and the deposition and destruction of Elizabeth. Such was the design of the itheimish notes, says O'Sullivan ; and for their character he quotes a part of a speech of Mr. O'Connell, in which that gentle- man vehemently denounced them, as justifying bad faith and murder. There:Are, Mr. O'Connell is asserted to have represented it as essen- tial to the Catholic faith to do the very things, the justification of which be denounced as infamous!
