LETTER OF THE POPE TO MGR.

ROME, March 14.
The Pope has addressed the following letter to
Mgr. Dupanloup

To the Venerable Brother Felix Bishop of Orleans;

Pio Papa IX.

Venerable Brother, Health and Apostolic Bene.

diction.

Such, 0 Venerable Brother, is our appreciation of
thy reverence and affection towards us, that even
when these documents had not reached us in which
thou hast so happily and usefully united different
things, we already seemed to hear thy voice
joined to the noble voices of thy brethren,
who setting aside every human consideration,
and braving every risk, have nearly all defended
with sacerdotal constancy and freedom, before
the high Ministers of the Empire, the violated
rights of this See, and endeavoured to warn the
faithful committed to their charge of the dangers of
the errors condemned by us, execrating them in the
same sense in which we have reproved them.
Wherefore the pleasing, although certainly not un-
expected, account has reached us of the diligence
with which thou had forwarded copies of our letters
to all the parishes of thy diocese, as well as thy
pamphlet, in which, praising the intrepid pro-
tests of thy brethren, thou hast joined in the
same with all thy soul. Eagerly perusing
this work, we see, not without pleasure, that thou
hast not only collected and condemned to well-
merited contempt the calumnies and errors of the
newspapers, but severely reproved the injurious
prohibition by which, leaving to presumptuous and
inimical writers license of discussion, it is sought to
deprive the sole legitimate interpreters of our
letters, to whom besides they were addressed, of
the faculty of publishing and explaining the same.
And we are principally gratified with the enumeration
of the wicked and arrogant machinations and frauds,
acts of destruction and cruelty, that, supported by
the testimony of indubitable and public facts, thou
hast set before the eyes of all in the first part of thy
work, in order to manifest the intentions of those to
whese illustrious guardianship, under the Conven-
tion of the 15th of September last, it was thought
proper to confide the rest of the spoil and the sacred-
ness of our rights. We therefore testify to thee the
gratitude of our soul, surely knowing that thou,
from the zeal with which thou art accustomed to
defend the cause of religion and truth, will
explain to thy people the true sense of our
letters with that study and accuracy no less
than energy, employed in repelling the calumnious
interpretations given to the same. And meanwhile,
we promise thee ample recompense for this study,
in token whereof, and in testimony of our special
good will, we lovingly bestow upon thee, and upon
all thy diocese, our apostolic benediction.
Given at St. Peter's, at Rome, the 4th February,
1865, in the 19th year of our Pontificate.
