Synopsis

Excerpt from Awful Exposure of the Atrocious Plot Formed by Certain Individuals Against the Clergy and Nuns of Lower Canada, Through the Intervention of Maria MonkThe Pamphlet of the Awful Disclosures is trifling in bulk, but charged with undisguised malignity and clumsy misrepresentations. The object of it is no less than to infiictetrievable injury on the reputation and efficiency of the ministers of the Roman Catholic faith in Lower Canada, and on the hitherto unblemished fame of the Conventual institutions of that pro vince. Let it be admitted that such a work might be undertaken with a conscientious per suasion of its justice and necessity, the public would still look for and expect to find strong and unquestionable evidence in justification of the act of the accusers. If that evidence were really produced, it would indeed be difficult to over-estimate the importance of the question be tween Maria Monk and her supporters on the one hand, and the Catholic clergy and reli ous establishments of Lower Canada on t e other. If inquiry should substantiate and prove the charges against these latter, it would then become a uestion whether piety, charity, humility, or C ristian virtue, had any real abiding place upon earth. For it would follow.
