MIVART (PROFESSOR) ON THE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE, 1-37: Dr. Mivart's
great services in the cause of Catholic truth, 1; our deep regret that we
cannot agree with him in the present work, 2; his theory of civicism, 3 ;
our objections to that theory, 3; the chief purpose of our article, 4 ;
the Catholic doctrine on the obligation of conscience, 5; every one is
bound to act according to his conscience, and nobody can morally com-
pel him otherwise, 6; criticism of Dr. Mivart's inference from that
doctrine, 7; a genuine dictate of conscience should be obeyed, even
should it injure others, 8; though there are many cases in which we are
acquitted for disregarding those dictates, 10; in some circumstances
even the Church herself compels obedience against conscience, 12; but
a civil ruler should not do anything which militates against a man's
conscience, 13; liberty of conscience impeded by civil toleration of
error, 14; inestimable blessing of the State's Catholic unity, 15; evils
likely to result in England from the adoption of the principle of "free
love," 16; Mr. Lilly's Essay on Medievalism, 18; we contend that
every State must rest on what we call an ethical basis, 19; great desir-
ableness that that basis be wide, 20; reasons for our belief, 22; civic
toleration of a religious error a wrong against those citizens who do not
hold with that error, 241; on the union of Church and State, 25;
difficulty in always understanding Dr. Mivart's theory of civicism, 26;
the State's proper course towards any large development of a theistic
immorality, 27; even a sincere Catholic may agree with certain Pro-
testant doctrines in England, 29; miserable result should the sophistries
of the "advanced" School prevail in England, 30; Dr. Mivart's theory
opposed to the opinion of the Holy Father, 32; and sets forth no basis
of opposition to Cæsarism, 33; F. O'Reilly on the position of the
government of a Catholic country towards its Protestant subjects, 34;
concluding regret at our difference of opinion with Professor Mivart, 35.
