The tex of the epcyctic,l delivered by
Pope Leo KILL April 81, hat arrived by the
mails. Tie document excees great atttn>
tlon IN Europe. Cn the restoration Of the
temporal power the Pope saws i-"It is
neither by passion fer ambition, nor de-
for dOmination, that we seek this resti1
tuition, but soe'y on account of the duties
Of our charge, and the terms of the oath
which binds us. In addition, we are actuated
not only ny the consideration that the tenn
poral power Is necessary to us In order to
defend and protect the .ull freedom of the
spirituyl power, bus also because 1t Is
clearly shown that 10 the sovereign tenn
porality Of the Holy See are involved the
public we'll being and safety of human
society. Consequently, in virtue of the
duty OF our mission, which oblges us to
defend the privileges of The Holy Church
when the temporal power OF the Holy See
Is In question We cannot avoid renewing and
confl mng in these letters all the protesta-
lions and declarations that our predecessor,
Plus TX, of holy memory, ras on many
occasions made and reiterated, as much
against the occupation of the temporal
power as against the violation of the rights
If the Church."
