that although he was opposed to the Pope asa temporal
prince, lie had no objection TO the full ard free use OF

Roman republic, because il was demanded BY the people

oppressed them. II, however, l believed the Roman repu5-
Leans were atheists, would oppose them to the utmost,
but tfey were not--for they had as their motto, tGod

but let thin be removed, and, so help US God We will
establish the republic. (Applsuse) An attempt has

overthrow OF the Papacy, although 1t had nothing to do
with its spiritual character. Neither were the founders

back and retume his spiritual functions, for they
were not enemies OF religion they merely wished TO
