Excerpt from The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, Vol. 7: A Monthly Journal, Conducted by a Society of Clergymen, Under Episopal Sanction But while recalling with grateful heart these and other sig nal benefits which the divine clemency has bestowed on the Church, especially through the last (ecumenical Council, we cannot restrain our bitter sorrow, caused by the serious evils which have mainly had their origin either in contempt on the part of many for the authority of that sacred synod, or in neglect of its wise decrees. For, as to the heresies proscribed by the Council of Trent, everybody knows that having rejected the divine authority of the Church, and abandoned religious matters to the judg ment of each individual, they gradually split into many sects, disagreeing and striving with one another, until at length not a few lost all faith in Christ.
