During the past week tho announcement has been made in the public prints tha * 5 Cardinal McCabe has written a letter approving of the course taken by certain members of the Dublin Corporation in refusing to support a candidate for the Lord Mayoralty on tho ground that he was a Freemason . The Cardinal says he cannot understand how a Catholic could in conscience or honour help to place a
Freemason in the office of first magistrate of the Catholic City of Dublin . The succession of revolutions that have shaken society for the last century can , he says , be easily tracpd to Masonry , a confederation organised for the nnholiest purposes . The Cardinal evidently forgets , or does not choose to remember , that chiefest among the unholy purposes for which the confederation was organised was the erection
of those magnificent temples in which ho and his co-religionists worshi p , and of which it is not too mnch to say they are jnstly proud . It might perhaps be a strange thing if Roman Catholics were to support Freemasons for any office in a Roman Catholic community , but no ono wonld deny that if a Freemason wero elected he would provo himself quite as good a holder of his office as any Roman
Catholic who had not the honour of being a Mason . It is not rlonbt-Fnl that tho Pope has acted unreasonably in ordering all his faithful followers to seo in Freemasonry nothing but evil . These fulminations , however , do the Order no harm , and Freemasonry will exist in spite of the Pope and all the dignitaries of tho Roman Catholic Church . — Evening News .
