ccive it Immediately out of the hands OF the
people.

tive to the Italian Parliament. They are oc-

and the successor of the apostles, to rule
his church but we never knew before
now that he bcqucathcd to them (the
Italians) permission or duty TO ,concoct
guarantees for the purpose OF establishing at
ter what way the church may be governed,
| guarantees which all Catholics on the face OF
the earth, and the Pope first Of all, lie Pope
toni lc Premier, will refuse to accept On

tween them and the church.
