STAMPED sd.

full liberty the supreme authority and that juris-
diction over the Church that have been divinely
conferred upon him by our Lord Jesus Christ ; and
the faithful obeying, with full tranquillity of con-
science and entire confidence, the decrees, warn-

ings, and orders of the Pontiff, give themselves up
thereto without being able to conceive the least sus-
picion that bis acts should ever be subjected to the
will and impulse of any sovereign and any civil
power. We cannot renounce the civil power es-
tablished by the divine wisdom of Providence
for the welfare of the universal Church ; we
are obliged, upon the contrary, to defend that
government, and protect the rights of that civil
power, to complain loudly of the sacrilegious
occupation of the provinces of the Holy
See, as we have already done—and as we now do

again—complaining and protesting in the best way
it is possible to be done. Every one admits that
the bishops of the Catholic world have never ceased
zealously to combat, both by speech and in writing,
in favour of our civil sovereignty and this apostolic
chair, and all have proclaimed that this sovereignty,
especially in the present state of the affairs of this
world, is absolutely necessary to establish and de-
fend the full liberty of the Roman Pontiff who feeds
all the Catholic flock, a liberty so intimately allied
with that of the whole Church.

" These same men do not fear to go about every-
where crying that we ought to reconcile ourselves
with Italy—that is to say, with the enemies of our
religion, who boast that they themselves constitute
Italy. But in what manner can we, who, being
established as 'the champions and the avengers of
our most holy religion, and of the salutary doctrine
both of virtue and justice, must watch for the salva-
tion of all—how can we march in concert with those
who, not supporting the healthy doctrine, and re-
fusing to listen to the truth, depart from us, with
those who have never been willing to accede to our
desires nor do right to cur demands, tending that
the many dioceses in Italy deprived of comfort
and pastoral protection should have their bishops ?
" May it please Heaven that all who so vehe-
mently oppose the Church, ourselves, and this apos-
tolic chair, turning their gaze and their souls towards
truth and justice, may once for all become en-
lightened, and, returning to themselves, and pro-
viding for the safety of their souls, moved by salu-
tary repentance, may prevail upon their minds to
come back to us. Nothing would be more agree-
able than to go to meet them, following the ex-
ample of the father in the gospel, and to embrace
them, congratulating ourselves in the Lord that
these our children were dead and are alive again,
were lost and are found. It would then be seen
that our august religion—the mother and the fertile
source of all the virtues, and the scourge of vices
—leads equally to the individual happiness of each
and to the public prosperity of all. There, indeed,
where religion and her salutary doctrines prevail,
necessarily flourish sobriety of morals, integrity,
peace, justice, charity, and all the virtues. There
the people are not overwhelmed by those serious ills
which crush them miserably wherever religion and
her doctrines are misunderstood.
" From the deplorable facts briefly and sorrow-
fully told, and from sad contemporary events in
Italy, all the world may easily see and divine to
what great perils this apostolic see is exposed, and
how it forms the target for very bitter threats of
rebellion, for the hatred of the unbelieving, and for
the wrath of the enemies of the cross of Christ.
" Fenians' voices sound continually from all quar-
ters, which desperate enemies incessantly echo, de-
claring that this city of Rome ought to participate
in this most fatal Italian disturbance and rebellion,
even so far as to become its capital ; but God, rich
in mercy, will know how by his omnipotent strength
to frustrate the counsels and impious desires of our
enemies. He will never permit this noble city, so
dear to us, whereby His great and most special bene-
ficence He has placed the chair of St. Peter, the in-
expugnable basis of His faith and divine religion, to
return to the unhappy condition so efficaciously de-
scribed by our holy predecessor, Leo the Great (St.
Leo, Serm. 82, Al. 80. In natal. apostolor Petri et
Pauli), in which it existed when the most glorious
Prince of the Apostles for the first time entered this
city, then the mistress of the world.
" As for ourselves, although destitute of nearly
all human assistance, faithful nevertheless to our
mission, and absolutely confiding in the support of
the all-powerful God, we are ready to struggle
without fear, even at the peril of our life, for the
cause of the Church divinely confided to us by the
Lord Jesus Christ, and, should there be need, to re-
move wherever we may be best enabled to exercise
our supreme apostolic functions.
" And because, in so terrible a storm, the sole and
best support must be prayer, we address ourselves to
all the venerable brethren and bishops of the entire
Catholic world, to all the Catholic clergy, and to all
the children of Holy Mother Church, who have never
ceased to lavish upon us all such striking testimonies
of love and of respect, to come to our assistance in our
very serious trials and those of the Holy See. We call
upon them continually to offer, with faith, hope, and
charity, fervent prayers to God for the defeat of the
enemies of the Church, and their return to the way
of salvation ; for, in the words of Chrysostom
(S. Joan, Chrysostom homil. 13,,in Cap. 11. generis),
prayers constitute a powerful arm, a great security,
a rich treasure, an excellent harbour, a most secure
asylum, provided that, attentive and watchful, we
present ourselves before the Lord with a collected
mind, and without permitting any access to the
enemy of our salvation.
" In the midst of the great tribulations by which
we are assailed we have one vast consolation, know-
ing that God, when His Church has no human suc-
cour, works marvellous prodigies, which most clearly
display His omnipotence and His Divine hand, and
which fully confirm the truth that the gates of hell
shall at no time prevail against the Church, which
shall always remain immovable, triumphing over
her enemies until the end of time.
" Butit is deeply sorrowful that it is not precisely
settled that a nation must always preserve the most
precious treasure of our Divine faith and our religion.
"In fact, there are many nations which had faith-
fully preserved the deposit of faith and the discipline
of morals. Alas' they have been detached from that
Rock 'upon which rests the edifice of the Church, and
separated from him to whom has been the polwe lambs,
and confirming the brethren and the feeding of _
and the sheep, not agreeing among themselves, and
very
enveloped in the darkness of error, they are
great peril as to their salvation.

judgment, they shall appear before the tribunal of
Christ, they shall see how dreadful a thing it is to
fall under the displeasure of the living God, and to
encounter His most severe justice.
"Lastly, we cannot doubt, venerable brethren,
witnesses and associates of our labours, appreciat-
ing your excellent and well-known religion, your
piety, and your warm love for Catholicism, that you
will be heartily willing to unite your fervent prayers
to ours, and to those of the whole Church, and
