Excerpt from The Catholic Question in America: Whether a Roman Catholic Clergyman Be in Any Case Compellable to Disclose the Secrets of Auriecular Confession; Decided at the Court of General Sessions, in the City of New York The general satisfaction given to every religious denominations, by the decision of this interesting question, is well calculated to dissipate antiquated prejudices, and religious jealousies, and the Reported feels no common satisfaction in making it public. When this adjudication shall be compared with the baneful statues and judgments in Europe, upon similar subjects, the superior equity and wisdom of American jurisprudence and civil probity will be felt, and it cannot fail to be well received by the enlightened and virtuous of every community, and will constitute a document of history, precious and instructive to the present and future generations.
