MIRACLES: THE OBJECTIONS AGAINST THEIR POSSIBILITY AND ANTECEDENT
PROBABILITY, 271-304: the author of "Supernatural Religion" attacks
Revelation through Miracles, 271; he regards Miracles as the only
sufficient evidence for Christianity, 272; and appeals to Scripture for
proofs that they cannot be relied upon, 272; character of diabolical
Miracles, 273; can the Devil work Miracles? 273; different nature of
Christian Miracles, 274; claim Christianity has upon our acceptance
through those Miracles, 274; if human reason cannot always grasp all
the Christian doctrines it can at least appreciate them, 275; Archbishop
Trench on the antecedent probability of Miracles, 276; Dr. Mozley's
Sixth Lecture, 276; misapprehension of Dr. Mozley by the author of
"Supernatural Religion," 277; Mr. Spencer on man's ultimate per-
fection, 279; instances of man's degeneration, 279; chapter on Reason
and the Order of Nature, 280; what is the "Order of Nature"? 282;
according to Catholic theologians it is the law regulating the physical
interaction of the material world, 283; an Order of Nature necessary to
Miracles, 285; revelation has enabled man to understand things his
mind would otherwise have been unable to grasp, 286; Hume's argu-
ments based upon Tillotson, 287; Mr. Mill's comment upon Hume, 288;
Miracles do not prove the existence of God, 289; God's action is not
limited to the laws of nature, 291; Did Mr. Mill understand Hume?
292; the cynicism of the latter, 293; Miracles cannot be reduced to a
scientific formula, 294; chapter on the Age of Miracles, 294: the lofty
superstition of the Apostles contrasted with the carnal superstition of the
Jews, 295; God sometimes wrought Miracles among the Gentiles as a
testimony to virtue, 296; denial by Dr. Mozley of the occurrence of
Miracles since the Apostolic times, 298; doubtless they are fewer as
civilization opens up the secluded districts of a country, and carries with
it drunkenness and immodesty, 299; yet they do still occasionally occur
in places where the Catholic religion has not ceased to be a reality, 300;
Mr. Mansel's argument that the progress of science favours Miracles,
302; general character of the author's treatment of his subject, 302;
from his manner of writing he is evidently a young man, 303; he has
displayed at least considerable powers of research in amassing hostile
testimony, 304.

MUSIC AND PLAIN-CHANT, 113–127: regular recurrence of controversies on
Church Music, 113; place of Plain Chant in the public worship of the
Church, 113; its advocates claim for it almost a monopoly, 114; for
certain portions of the Church service it is unrivalled, 114; a musical
ear a development of one of the senses, 115; its highly imitative
power, 116; Bethoven's Mass in C, 117; F. Newman on Music, 118;

tions of a concert-room, 119; all operatic music is not of a light
character, 119; Pope Benedict XIV. sanctioned the use of other music
than Plain-Chant, 120; functions of Plain-Chant and Music respectively,
121; Plain-Chant especially suited for the penitential seasons, 122;
disappointment in hearing Haydn's Masses, 124; Gounod's Mass the
most dramatic which we know, 124; "Theatrical" and "Sensational"

images, 40; of ecclesiastical endowment, 42; and of the religious orders,
43; his orthodoxy, 45; analysis of the charges against him on that
point, 46; excuses for him on the first charge, 47; we contend that, so
far as material heresy is concerned, all the charges are false, 49; though
his orthodoxy was substantial, yet his expressions were sometimes
ill-advised, 50; Dean Hook's curious and unfounded charge against
Bishop Pecock, 51; one cause of the Bishop's unpopularity was his
liberalism, 54; cruel nature of the treatment he received, 55.

character of a Series of Letters addressed by an Irish Catholic to the

24; dogmatic ignorance in Church matters of the Liberal party in
England, 25; yet even here, although at present a storm is waging
against Papal infallibility, will truth prevail in the end, 26.
REPLIES TO LORD ACTON, 127-153: general drift of Lord Acton's letters
paraphrased, 127; the indignation excited by them among English
Catholics, 128; such charges as Lord Acton makes are easier made than
answered, 129; the case of S. Pius V. 130; Lord Acton's proofs of the
charge against that Pontiff, 130; his suppression of important facts, 131;
the would-be assassin of Elizabeth shown to be a man unworthy of
belief, 132; Lord Acton's evidence against S. Pius from the writings of

spiritual flock, 134; statement of facts necessary for forming an impar-
tial judgment, 135; the plan was not simply a plot for murdering
Elizabeth, but a portion of a very extensive design, 139; the case of

some of the peculiarities of his work, 358; his doubts as to the authen-
ticity of the Gospels, 358; a review of the positive evidence for the
Gospels best adapted for exhibiting the uncritical character of "Super-

were read in the Churches, 383; comparison of the facts in Justin's
Life of Christ and the narrative in the Gospels, 384; coincidences
between Justin's Memoirs and S. Matthew's Gospel, 385; the author of
Supernatural Religion" accuses the Fathers of inaccuracy of quo-
tation, but when it suits his purpose attributes to them the accuracy of
modern critics, 386; Justin quoted from his memory in nearly all cases,
387; he makes use of all the Four Gospels, 391; instances of the
criticism of S. Justin by the author of "Supernatural Religion," 392;
Justin's account of the Baptism in the Jordan, 395; Hilgenfeld's
admission that S. Justin used all the Gospels, 396; the testimony of

Religion," 409; the constant mistranslations of the author, 410; his
blunders commence the moment he attempts independent criticism, 411.
