Cardinal Moran, when distributing school prizes, made an attack upon the Minister of Education. He said that the Scripture lessons given in the public schools were not only irreligious, but defective in literary merit. The. Minister of Education had said that the lessons were the joint production of Anglican and Catholic prelates, Archbishop Whately and. Bishop Murray. That statement was a falsehood, and such a barefaced one that the Minister either made it, knowing it to be false, and if so, was unfit for the place ho held, or made the statement (through inconceivable ignorance, in which case he was educationally not qualified to he Minister of Education. Tho Cardinal declared that non-sectarian education, as it was called, was nothing more .than a nondescript system of irreligious belief, which might be more or less conformable to Protestant principles and consistent with Protestant ‘tenets, hut, as viewed by Catholics, ' was a stereotyped system of infidelity and agnosticism.
