that the Reformers had neither the duty nor the right to attempt
a reform apart from and against the head of the Church and the
episcopate; that the religious divisions of our age are caused
by the refusal to submit to the Church and return to the centre
whence we departed in the sixteenth century; since the historical
development of the Church has been proved to me unbroken down to
the present day; since I have learned to justify and love her
doctrine, her morality, and her worship; from the day on which
the grace of God has permitted me to be convinced of these truths,
my return to the Catholic Church has become a matter of necessity,
and it is only by a public confession of my faith that I can hope
to regain tranquillity of conscience, that peace of the heart
which the world cannot give, nor yet, in spite of all its fraud
and anger, can ever take away'".
It is needless to add that the Bishop of Ermland acceded to this
touching request. On St. Catherine's Day, during the jubilee of 1858,
Dr. Laemmer made his profession of Catholic faith, and received the
sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist. Towards the end of the same year
he was admitted to the diocesan seminary of Ermland, where he received
confirmation, tonsure, and holy orders. Soon after his ordination he
was sent to Rome. Several valuable works on subjects of ecclesiastical
history have since appeared from him, and much is still expected at his
hands.[17] In the bosom of the Catholic Church, his doubts dispelled,
his heart at peace, well indeed may he love to repeat with joy and
gratitude--_Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo!_--(Ps. xxxii., 21).
TWO ILLUSTRIOUS GRAVES.
We are happy to be the first to announce to the Irish public the discovery
of the exact spot wherein the remains of our great Irish chieftain,
Hugh O'Neill, repose, side by side with those of Archbishop Matthews.
