The Augtiburger AUgemciue Ztilnny Iras however been reeeived, with the document in question; and having read it, We do hot wonder at nil that it has caused groat excitement and uneasiness in the Vatican. It can not fail to undermine papal author ity, and must shake tlic confidence of many in' the whole system of pnpol absolutism. We, idtltough there is nothing new to educated Protestants in Dr. Diel- lingex’s Protest, will nevertheless present a few extracts from it to our readers, as many may 'have lorgot- ten, anti others may not have been made acquainted with the delilierate and COTitiilgly devised claims of Rome, based on falsehoods and for geries of historical documents. The Protest, dated Munich, Jan uary l&j is a reftitation of the address presented liy the Council to the Pope, entreating him to cnasc the General Council, uow convened, to make Pajml Infallibility an Art tele of Faith. The tydtops, who signed that address, demand that 180,000,- 000 of htuuan beings should be com pelled to believe and confess what the church has never before either ♦Might or held ns truth.

That is, no one has believed it, a* he believes In God, In Christ, In tlie Holy Trinity, etc.; while many have only Mipixisgd it, only thought it probable, or at most humanly pertain, that flits prerogn tivo lickings to the Tope.

The claim, that “according to the onivorsal and con sistent tradition of the elmrch the dogmatic decisions of tlie popes are absolute,” is simply unfounded. The assertion, tliat tlie Council of Lyons, 1274, adopted as an article of (hith : “that controversiea about doctrines must be decided by the pope,* is not snstained by history. It is also shown in the Protest that tlie Synod of Florence, 1438, was not an.

It lias been agitated by them for years, and they have formed a religious association whose menriiera are pledged to pray and to exert themselves for the establish meat of this new dogma. We 1k>i>c that Dr. Dodliuget’s efforts to ]>revent 1‘apiri Infallibility from becoming an article of faith may prove iu vain. We believe that the adoption iff it must rend the Church of Rome.
