Mr. Quinlan.
Mr. Quinlan’s speech was as fol-
lows: '
“This Very appropriate idea of
commemorating the founding of
Maryland in many places through-
out this country has for this your
particular significance in my mind
as an opportunity for emphasis of
religious lolcratlon in a period of
our country's history. when intol-
ernnce is rampant. as for emphasis
of thoJact that we‘nro in the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary
year of the declaration of our po-
litical liberty. when liberty is in
danger of encroachment. Religious
liberty and political liberty were
botll°uccentunted in the founding of
Maryland.

at Maryland and the Culverts might
come in a more interesting way

some of the steps which led to the
toleration which we enjoy in the
Commobwelilth of Connecticut.
making the gist of my comment
have reference to the pesslble ef-
rect of the Galverts in Maryland
and ot the Quebec Act—the tolera-
tion not or Canada—upon our polit-
ical and religious destinies at the
time of the American Revolution.
and ot the adoption oi! the Consti-
tution. .
“The earliest and most conspicu-
ous policy or toleration was shown
in Maryland and it is to the
glory of the Catholics in this
colony that they understood toler-
ance and practiced it in the tallest
measure. in distinct contrast to the
attitude of the Puritans who sought
toieration and were graciously rc~
celveid in Maryland. but who. after
the temporary overthrow of the Cal-
verts. were most intolerant to the
very Catholics who had received
them in their midst. As Bancroft.
the historian has phrased it “the
day-star of religious iiber " began
to shine in America under Catholic
auspices. Everywhere else at that
time religious disability and roll.
glous persecution prevailed.
Not Much Tolerance
"While it must be conceded that
{readout of worship was the impel-
ling motive for the emigration to
this country of most of the early
settlers. nevertheless. it is apparent
that there was a limitation to the
toleration which should be practiced
toward other church groups in-
cluding Catholics."
Mr. Quinlan then went on to tell
about the Mayflower compact of
mo of the Articles of Confederation
or me and how both or them pro-
vided for the “advancement of the
Christian lsith.” involving much re-
ligous tsith.but little tolerance. He
also discussed the Quebec Act. He
goes on:
"A better appreciation and undeb
standing of a condition can some-
times be had by bringing it home

habits. there was in existence until

the government of the colony did
not worship. nevertheless. the Con-'-
gregutlonal Churéh was so strong-
ly entrenched that all cltisens were

“The objections of the Episc-
opalian Church became so strong as
to result in the question at religious
tolerance being made an issue in at
least one political campaign. Prior
to the Constitutional Convention at
1818 in order to vote. one had to be
a member or the Church and a pub-
lic meeting was almost identical with
a church meeting. and our early
colonial records would disclose that
most all of said meetings were pre-
sided over by Congregational clergy-t
men. and the meetings opened with
prayer. not that the latter should
be criticized. In our Town of Nor~
walk. the Congregational Society
was the controlling influence po-
lilicaliy. in the administration or the
town’s silairs. A Paplst. to embrace
citisenship. had to subscribe to an
oath of allegiance. Another annoy“
ing practice of Catholics. to the
colonists. was the honor given the
Saints and the Blessed Mother.
whose Feast Day we celebrate tot

required to mass "oath that “the ill-
vocation and adoration or the Virgin
Mary or any other Saint. and the
Sacrifice ot the Mass as they now
are used in the Church of Rome are
superstitious and idolstrous." Here
again we are in striking contrast to

speeches concerning the Blessed Vir-
gin Mary or the Holy Saints or

“All of this adores an excellent

enthusiastic supporters in that day

support their position. audios to say
that when our State Constitution of
1818 was adopted. such a system
was once and cor all ended. it was
provided that all men should have

Catholic Tolerance
Bancroft. in the second edition ol
his history. devotes a chapter to
"How Catholic Emancipation lie-
gsn'f and ascribcs it to the Quebec
Act. That it was potent factor there
can he no doubt. but the lessons
learned from disappointment and
error are not always sufficient to
establish a principle. There is also
required local experienCe. and the
powerful influence of men of abil-

and her model of religious libartv
was nearly 150 yours old at the time
of lilo passage of the Quebec Act.
"It was to Maryland that we lurn-
cd for delegates to approach Cun-

lilo number. Probably Maryland and
the Quebec Act are poinlly respon-
sibl tor the principle of religious
lroejom which was evolved. 'l’he cle-

the permanent eradication of ino
tolerance itself as long as we have
to deal with human beings, even
though justice and charity should
guide them difforontly. Another J50

and speculation as to causes and r.»

pause and think. but are we not in
