Excerpt from Sermons: Preached Before the University of Oxford and on Various Occasions Two sets of divines, indeed, dispute beforehand as to what will be the effect of the decrees of the Council upon the political relations of citizens, and whether they will produce any disturbance of those relations. The Theo logical Faculty of Munich, in reply to the question of the Bavarian Government, declares, upon the assumption on which the questions are based - viz., that the truths affirmed will be made articles of faith - that they will. On the other hand, a section of the faculty, instead of replying to the questions of the government upon the assumption on which they are based, denies the assumption. The Papal Infallibility, it is admitted, will be converted into an article of faith, but inasmuch as the dogma of the infallibility will not, it is said, commit the Church to the sphere of that infallibility, this dogma will contain no material of collision with the civil power. On the other hand, the condemnations of the Syllabus, which do come into the province of politics, and so of their own nature do tend to collision with the civil power - these, it is mysteriously and obliquely intimated, will not be found in effect to be articles of faith, i.e., to be binding upon the belief of every individual Christian.
