Excerpt from Second Report From the Select Committee on the State of Ireland, 1825
That, under no circumstances, could take place p-i do not know that were His present Majesty to wish that a council were held, and to signify such His Majesty's pleasure to the Catholic bishops in Ireland, in such case, I have no doubt but they might hold, and even would hold, such council.
Would such council be, according to the laws of the Roman Catholic church, absolutely illegal, without the consent of the Pope - No; but the decrees of such council would have no validity, unless they were approved of and sanctioned by the Pope; however, the holding of such council would be perfectly legal. The Com mirtee are not to understand, by what I have said, that we would recognize in His Majesty a right to convene such council, or to order it to be held; but only, that we are subjects obedient to His Majesty, and willing, in all things lawful, to conform to His Majesty's will, that we would, upon an intimation made to us, cheerfully hold a council, and deliberate upon any matter which he would submit to our con sideration.
Supposing there was a representative of the P0pe in this country, would the Roman Catholic clergy have any objection to allow the power of such representative to be strictly defined - Instead of being Opposed to it, they would most anxiously desire that his power should be strictly defined and there is no class of persons within the kingdom who would profit so much from that Specific definition of his power, as the Catholic bishops.
