ROME, MARCH 19,

In the Consistory held yesterday the Pope, in
reply to those who have asserted that the Papacy
is incompatible with civilisation, said that, on the
contrary, the present Papacy had always contri-
buted to the diffusion of real civilisation. The
Pope declared that he was only opposed to that
pretended modern civilisation which persecutes the
Church, imprisons her cardinals, bishops, and
priests, suppresses religious orders, despoils the
Church, and tramples justice under foot. He
deplored that the Concordat had been violated in
the kingdom of Naples. The Pope declared that
he would spontaneously have granted concessions,
and would have accepted those which have been
counselled by the Catholic Sovereigns, but that he
could not receive the counsels and unjust demands
of a usurping Government. In conclusion, the
Moly Father deplored the subversion of all
authority, and promised forgiveness to all who had
been misled. He confided, he said, the cause of

the Church to God, the avenger of justice and

right.
