The subject Of my lecture this evening is the Second
Part Of the Inquston il existed IN Rome IN lsi9 To-
eether with it, power and cruelty after which shall
speak OF the trial and sentence OF the Mada First the
power and cruelty of the lnquisihon Over Princes and
Kings and Emperors was the power OF the lnqulsuon-
over all but those who affiliated % the tribunal OF the
Inquisition-to imprson and make trial against whom
was Necessary obtain particular hcense from Rome or
from the High uqusors SO ihaI from the beginning M
today all Popes have granted many privileges 10 tue In
quisitors have not less than twenty Bulls OF
Popes which gave great power to these lnqusors and
Jews and Mohsmmedans and Saracens, have been SUD
ieoted the cruelty OF the lnquson even IN tDHr own
country so that whoever will study seriously the Bulls Of
the P0pes will at once that the Paphts mad rather
,,eone sboud be Infdes and Atheists without religion,
father than that they should be without the POpHh creed
And in order 10 support this power the lnquson solicited
the protection Of Princes and rulers IL Is true that
Princes and rulers under the control OF the lnqors
but YOU know that the nquors were always very prudent
Eut against the poor and unfortunate ami always against
the mdng classes and especially when much money was
be gained the nquisitors were s"aysVery severe out
against princes kings, and emperors they were very
meek benevolent and kind and have everywhere, es
pecaly in Spain where the lnquson was 50 dreadiuy
seyere-we have many kings OF Spain immoral 10 the last
degree whom the nqusuon did not touch In france We
have the kng-the most christian kng-with sereS mis-
uesses THIS was no business of the .nqust0n So that
if Louis XIV surrounded b legion Of ilegnmate
sons be was the great Kin Of France And Why BE.
cause he revoked the act OF Nantes and committed 10 the
soldiers the poor Protestant Huguenos And therefore
the public immortality Of Louis NV was nothing to the In
QUESTION federation was always shown To rulers and
princes and the power OF the InqusiOn lent TO their
support They together band of robbers and the
KINGS said 10 the nqus0rs, il you will aid my tyranny
Mil aid your cruelty of the Inquistion" In such way
hritanity was the ctm Of this dreadful pOwera power
materially supported by an army and ruans Under the
reign Of Gregory A'l-and Is the same dread
fully wers the Italian people persecued by the surveillance
of The police that order to escape from IT, many asked
AZ aysr TO become spies, and emmssares, and ufians
of lie Inquisition may be difficult for some Americans
TO believe such things enjoying as hey DO religious and
civil liberty But you put yourself IN the condition OF
my Italians twenty years ago, IN teruga' Town Oh
about $500 inhabitants you will learn that the i2qusuon
numbered not less than five thousand secret emlsca
mes and ruians The trials of these InquisitOns were
conducted without the least publicity The trial was all
against Right and Justceor Justice cannot be admins
tered rightly without publicity Applause If you have
secret tribunals and secret trials and secret COMBINATIONS
YOU will be certantha ustce Is administered openly
and rightly therefore IN America happy N the open
ard straight forward manner IN which your trials are con-
Quoted lou have Jury, which is guarantee Of justice
being shown to the poor and oppressed 80 judges
have nothing to do after the rendition OF the verdict
to give their Judgment and apply the law 10 the case
But the InqustOn ali secret and an anonymous accu
saOn can put III prison many and many victims judges
in the civil tribunals are generally KIND and seldom severe
TO the imputed criminals ana sometimes they suggest some
comfort the cuits in their last sentence But why Is
ths II is because they generally fathers husbands.
and citizens who have domestic aud social affections.
Applause But have nothing of that among tho lnquls
TORS because they belong to the Roman Clergy which pro-
fsses eeibacy and they cruel clergy because with
out affection. When man Is not husband nor iaher nor
citizen he is generally cruel man. Applause And he
displays bis cruelty against his people, and therefore Is
that tie InquisitOs always cruel These lnqus
tons in Sicily and Lombardy after having murdered two or
three hundred poor victims frequently used 10 be invited
10 cine tn the Vice King where they would eat and drink
almost their dead victims.
Tie Padre spoke of tie various trials of the Inqu
siton-the AnO d0 the burning fires and the other vari
Gus modes of torture and remarked that they all nseper
ably beOng ed to the Church Of Rome and were prdcced
By the so called Vicar OF Christ ana SAID that his au
nee desired TO know about the horrible cruetes
pracced there they should obtain and read the work on
Italy written by Mr. Dwight The speaker next d~elt at
considerable ength upon the secret trial and IN u sen
ence Of the Madai and said that they condemned
uniusty even according TO the laws OF Tuscany-n
rma ON Of which he read several articles from foreign
papers showing that their case was tried with closed DOORS
and that this was proof positive that they feared 10 have
their proceedings made known to the public knowing that
they were evil
In conclusion the Padre read extracts from Arch
bishop Hughess letter The Ttmes in relation TO the
meeting in Metropolitan Hal to sympathise with the Ma
dial and said that he regarded his reProaches as unjust
and illogical he Archbishop Hughesl had Just called
