The Pope's Lament.

men to assist in tho protection of the
universal Church; and having determined
to discharge this duty, we wished to per-
form it according to solemn ancient rites,
as tho dignity of the Curch demands; but
times are opposed to our intention. The
oppression which We suffer is such that we
have not even the freedom of bewaillDg the
Affections of the Church. No wonder that
those differing from the Church by heredi-
hat hn o<~sv
attain this end. Unfortunately, in Italy,
where the supreme cathedral Of truth was
placed by divine dispensaiion, children of
the faith have become enemies of the Church
and plot for it's destruction, grieving our
heart. Hence have come the deplorab!e in
juries to the liberties, the possessions and
the ministers of the Church which we
witness, pOwerless to resist. Hence have
come the greatest evils to the souls Of men
and to human society--the corruption Of
youth, which will propagate the existing
evils to future generations. The educa-
tiOnal ms itutiOns have been Withdrawn
from the Cwatchfulness of the hurch, and
in youth, which should be the seed time of
virtues, vices are rooted in schools subject
to civil power There is education without
faith, without religion, according to a
baleful worldly wisdom. The educa-
ton of priesthood even is hampered by
ulate the course of their studies. The |
army cOnscripti0u laws take effect in the |
ranks Of tho clergy. Inferior clerics are |
encouraged cOntnmaciously to resist their |
bishops. The publication of our discourses |
is punished by the civil power; penal laws |
are enacted against publishing the acts of |
the apostolic see. The voice of the Supreme
Master, the teacher OF truth, is silenced,
and the rights of the faithful people are |
violated
Let those who subject the Church to
slavery bear in mind that they invoke upon
the divine wrath. q harder
master, heavier tyranny.
Lately in the foreign country. writings
were divulged, distOrting Vatican DEGREES.
The object was to effect the violation of the
liberty of your Senate in the selection of
Dur successor by threats of civil inter-
terence. These acts point exclusively at
our ecclesiastical competence, but the
nerciful God ruling the Church providen-
Tally ordered the firm, admirable bishops
If the German empire who refuted
n their noble declaration the erroneous
doctrines. We give the fullest praise before
The Catholic world to the said bishops. We
spprOve their declarations and their protest
Is being worthy Of the virtue, dignity and
eligion Of the bishops. We confirm them
n their apostolic authority, praying the
livine clemency to dissipate the designs If
ur enemies and to end these evil DAYS,
that no wisdom or prudence |
an prevail against the Lord. Let us
fer sacrifices in humility and fervent
rayer. Our God is just and mercitul;
evere against those who persist in their !
VII ways, merciful to those who are con-
erted to him. Therefore, let us turn our
carts in contrition to him, praying for con- !
'lation and deiverance. He is powerful
