Speaker 1: algpug Encyclical Letter of Pope Pious the Ninth Quantacourda condemning
0:32
Speaker 1: current errors, December the eighth, eighteen sixty four. To have
0:38
Speaker 1: venerable brethren, all patriarchs, primates, archbishops and bishops having favor
0:44
Speaker 1: and communion of the Holy See, venerable brethren, health and
0:49
Speaker 1: Apostolic Benediction one. It is well known unto all men,
0:55
Speaker 1: and especially to you, venerable brothers, with what great care
0:59
Speaker 1: and pastor wars vigilance, our predecessors, the Roman Pontiffs, have
1:03
Speaker 1: discharged the office entrusted by Christ, our Lord, to them
1:07
Speaker 1: in a person of the most Blessed Peter, Prince of
1:10
Speaker 1: the Apostles, have unremittingly discharged the duty of feeding the
1:14
Speaker 1: lambs and the sheep, and have diligently nourished the Lord's
1:18
Speaker 1: entire flock with the words of faith imbued it with
1:22
Speaker 1: salutary doctrine and guarded it from poisoned pastures. And those
1:28
Speaker 1: our predecessors, who were the asserts and champions of the
1:31
Speaker 1: August Catholic religion of truth and a justice, being as
1:37
Speaker 1: they were chiefly solicitous for the salvation of souls, held
1:41
Speaker 1: nothing to be of so great importance as the duty
1:44
Speaker 1: of exposing, in condemning, in their most wise letters and constitutions,
1:49
Speaker 1: all heresies and errors which are hostile to moral honesty
1:53
Speaker 1: and to the eternal salvation of mankind, and which have
1:57
Speaker 1: frequently stirred up terrible commotions, and have damaged both the
2:02
Speaker 1: Christian and civil commonwealths in a disastrous manner. Wherefore, those
2:07
Speaker 1: our predecessors have, with apostolic fortitude, continually resisted the machinations
2:13
Speaker 1: of those evil men who, foaming out their own confusion
2:18
Speaker 1: like the raging waves of the sea, and promising liberty,
2:23
Speaker 1: while they are themselves the slaves of corruption, endeavored by
2:27
Speaker 1: their fallacious opinions and most wicked writings, to subvert the
2:31
Speaker 1: foundations of religion and of civil society, to remove from
2:36
Speaker 1: our midst all virtue and justice, to deprave the hearts
2:40
Speaker 1: and minds of all, to turn away from right discipline
2:44
Speaker 1: of morals, the incautious and especially inexperienced youth, miserably corrupting them,
2:51
Speaker 1: leading them into the nets of error, and finally withdrawing
2:55
Speaker 1: them from the bosom of the Catholic Church. Two and
3:00
Speaker 1: now venerable brothers, as is also very well known to you,
3:05
Speaker 1: scarcely had we, by the secret dispensation of divine providence,
3:10
Speaker 1: certainly by no merit of our own, been called to
3:13
Speaker 1: this chair of Peter, when we, to the extreme grief
3:17
Speaker 1: of our soul, beheld a horrible tempest stirred up by
3:21
Speaker 1: so many erroneous opinions and the dreadful and never enough
3:26
Speaker 1: to be lamented mischiefs which redound to Christian people from
3:30
Speaker 1: such errors. And we, then, in discharge of our apostolic
3:35
Speaker 1: ministerial office, imitating the example of our illustrious predecessors, raised
3:41
Speaker 1: our voice, and in several published incyclical letters and in
3:45
Speaker 1: allocutions delivered in Consistory and in other apostolic letters, we
3:50
Speaker 1: condemned the prominent, most grievous errors of the age, and
3:54
Speaker 1: we stirred up your excellent episcopal vigilance. And again and
3:58
Speaker 1: again did we admonish and extort all the sons of
4:01
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church, who are most dear to us, that
4:05
Speaker 1: they should abhor and shun all the said errors, as
4:08
Speaker 1: they would the contagion of a fatal pestilence. Especially in
4:12
Speaker 1: our first incyclical letter written to you on the ninth
4:16
Speaker 1: of November a d. Eighteen forty six, and in two allocutions,
4:21
Speaker 1: one of which was delivered by us in consistory on
4:24
Speaker 1: the ninth of December a d. Eighteen fifty four, and
4:28
Speaker 1: the other on the ninth of June a d. Eighteen
4:31
Speaker 1: sixty two, we condemned the monstrous and portentous opinions which prevail,
4:36
Speaker 1: especially in the present age, to the very great loss
4:40
Speaker 1: of souls, and even to the detriment of civil society,
4:44
Speaker 1: and which are in the highest degree hostile not only
4:49
Speaker 1: to the Catholic Church and to her salutary doctrine and
4:52
Speaker 1: venerable laws, but also to the everlasting law of nature,
4:56
Speaker 1: engraven by God upon the hearts of all men, and
5:00
Speaker 1: to right reason, and out of which almost all errors originate. Three. Now,
5:09
Speaker 1: although hitherto we have not omitted to denounce and reprove
5:12
Speaker 1: the chief errors of this kind, yet the cause of
5:15
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls committed to
5:19
Speaker 1: us by God, and even the interests of human society
5:23
Speaker 1: absolutely demand that once again we should stir up your
5:27
Speaker 1: pastoral solicitude to drive away other erroneous opinions which flow
5:32
Speaker 1: from those errors above specified as their source. These false
5:37
Speaker 1: and perverse opinions are so much the more detestable by
5:41
Speaker 1: as much as they have chiefly for their object, to
5:44
Speaker 1: hinder and banish that salutary influence which the Catholic Church,
5:49
Speaker 1: by the institution and command of her Divine author ought
5:52
Speaker 1: freely to exercise even to the consummation of the world,
5:57
Speaker 1: not only over individual men, but nations, peoples, and sovereigns.
6:02
Speaker 1: And to abolish that mutual cooperation and agreement of councils
6:05
Speaker 1: between the priesthood and governments, which has always been propitious
6:10
Speaker 1: and conducive to the welfare both of Church and state.
6:14
Speaker 1: Gregory the sixteenth encyclical Murari Vos August the fifteenth, eighteen
6:21
Speaker 1: thirty two. For you know well, venerable brethren, that at
6:26
Speaker 1: this time there are found not a few who, applying
6:30
Speaker 1: to civil intercourse, the impious and absurd principles of what
6:34
Speaker 1: they call naturalism, dare teach that the best form of
6:39
Speaker 1: society and the exigencies of civil progress absolutely require human
6:44
Speaker 1: society to be constituted and governed without any regard whatsoever
6:48
Speaker 1: to religion, as if this religion did not even exist,
6:54
Speaker 1: or at least without making any distinction between true and
6:57
Speaker 1: false religions. Contrary to the teachings of the holy scriptures
7:02
Speaker 1: of the Church and of the Holy Fathers. These persons
7:06
Speaker 1: do not hesitate to assert that the best condition of
7:09
Speaker 1: human society is that wherein no duty is recognized by
7:13
Speaker 1: the government of correcting by exacted penalties the violators of
7:18
Speaker 1: the Catholic religion, except when the maintenance of the public
7:21
Speaker 1: peace requires it. From this totally false notion of social government,
7:27
Speaker 1: they fear not to uphold that erroneous opinion most pernicious
7:31
Speaker 1: to the Catholic Church and to the salvation of souls,
7:35
Speaker 1: which was called by our predecessor. Gregory the sixteenth lately
7:39
Speaker 1: quoted the insanity galirimentum, namely, that the liberty of conscience
7:46
Speaker 1: and of worship is a peculiar or inalienable right of
7:50
Speaker 1: every man, which should be proclaimed by law, and that
7:54
Speaker 1: citizens have the right to all kinds of liberty to
7:57
Speaker 1: be restrained by no law, whether a cisiastical or civil,
8:01
Speaker 1: by which they may be enabled to manifest openly and
8:04
Speaker 1: publicly their ideas, by word of mouth, through the press,
8:09
Speaker 1: or by any other means. But whilst these men make
8:13
Speaker 1: these rash assertions, they do not reflect or consider that
8:17
Speaker 1: they preach the liberty of perdition Saint Augustine, Epistle one O. Five.
8:23
Speaker 1: And that if it is always free to human arguments
8:26
Speaker 1: to discuss, men will never be wanting who will dare
8:29
Speaker 1: to resist the truth and to rely upon the loquacity
8:33
Speaker 1: of human wisdom. When we know from the command of
8:36
Speaker 1: our Lord Jesus Christ, how faith and Christian wisdom ought
8:40
Speaker 1: to avoid this most mischievous vanity, Saint Leo Epistle one
8:45
Speaker 1: sixty four four. And since religion has been excluded from
8:51
Speaker 1: civil society, and the doctrine and authority of divine revelation,
8:56
Speaker 1: or the true and germane notion of justice and human right,
9:00
Speaker 1: have been obscured and lost a material or brute force
9:05
Speaker 1: substituted in a place of true justice and legitimate right,
9:09
Speaker 1: it is easy to perceive by some persons forgetting and
9:13
Speaker 1: tramping upon the most certain principles of sound reason, dare
9:17
Speaker 1: cry out together that the will of the people, manifested
9:22
Speaker 1: by what they call public opinion or in any other way,
9:26
Speaker 1: constitutes the supreme law, independent of all divine and human right,
9:31
Speaker 1: and that in a political order, accomplished facts by the
9:36
Speaker 1: mere fact of having been accomplished, have the force of right.
9:40
Speaker 1: But who does not see and plainly understand that the
9:44
Speaker 1: society of man, freed from the bonds of religion and
9:48
Speaker 1: of true justice, can certainly have no other purpose than
9:51
Speaker 1: the effort to obtain and accumulate wealth, and that in
9:55
Speaker 1: its actions it follows no other law than that of
9:58
Speaker 1: the uncurbed cupidity, ye, which seeks to secure its own
10:02
Speaker 1: pleasures and comforts. For this reason, also these same men
10:07
Speaker 1: persecute with such bitter hatred the religious orders, who have
10:12
Speaker 1: deserved so well of religion, civil society, and letters. They
10:17
Speaker 1: loudly declare that these orders have no right to exist,
10:21
Speaker 1: and in so doing make common cause with the falsehoods
10:25
Speaker 1: of the heretics. For, as was most wisely taught by
10:28
Speaker 1: our predecessor of illustrious memory, Pious the Sixth, the abolition
10:34
Speaker 1: of religious orders injures the state of public profession of
10:37
Speaker 1: the evangelical councils injures a mode of life recommended by
10:42
Speaker 1: the Church, as in conformity with Apostolic doctrine, does wrong
10:47
Speaker 1: to the illustrious founders, whom we venerate upon our altars,
10:51
Speaker 1: and who constituted these societies under the inspiration of God.
10:56
Speaker 1: Epistle to Cardinal de la rochefcour March the tenth, seventeen
11:01
Speaker 1: ninety one. And these same persons also impiously pretend that
11:07
Speaker 1: citizens should be deprived of the liberty of publicly bestowing
11:10
Speaker 1: on the Church their arms for the sake of Christian charity,
11:15
Speaker 1: and that the law forbidding servile labor on account of
11:18
Speaker 1: divine worship upon certain fixed days should be abolished, upon
11:23
Speaker 1: the most fallacious pretext, that such liberty and such law
11:27
Speaker 1: are contrary to the principles of political economy. Not content
11:31
Speaker 1: with abolishing religion in public society, they desire further to
11:35
Speaker 1: banish it from families and private life. Teaching and professing
11:40
Speaker 1: these most fatal errors of socialism and communism, they declare
11:45
Speaker 1: that domestic society or the family, derives all its reason
11:49
Speaker 1: of existence solely from civil law. Whence it is to
11:53
Speaker 1: be concluded that from civil law descend and depend all
11:57
Speaker 1: the rights of parents over their children, and above all
12:01
Speaker 1: the right of instructing and educating them. By such impious
12:05
Speaker 1: opinions and machinations, do these false teachers endeavor to eliminate
12:10
Speaker 1: the salutary teaching and influence of the Catholic Church from
12:14
Speaker 1: the instruction and education of youth, and miserably to infect
12:18
Speaker 1: and deprave by every pernicious error and vice, the tender
12:23
Speaker 1: and pliant minds of youth. All those who endeavor to
12:27
Speaker 1: throw into confusion both religious and political affairs, to destroy
12:32
Speaker 1: the good order of society, and to annihilate all divine
12:36
Speaker 1: and human rights, have always exerted all their criminal schemes, attention,
12:42
Speaker 1: and efforts upon the manner in which they might, above
12:45
Speaker 1: all to prave and delude unthinking youth. As we have
12:49
Speaker 1: already shown, it is upon the corruption of youth that
12:53
Speaker 1: they place all their hopes. Thus they never cease to
12:56
Speaker 1: attack by every method the clergy, both secular and regular,
13:02
Speaker 1: from whom, as testify to us, in so conspicuous a
13:06
Speaker 1: manner the most certain records of history, such considerable benefits
13:11
Speaker 1: have been bestowed in abundance upon Christian and civil society,
13:15
Speaker 1: and upon the Republic of letters, asserting of the clergy
13:19
Speaker 1: in general, that they are the enemies of the useful
13:23
Speaker 1: sciences of progress and of civilization, and that they ought
13:27
Speaker 1: to be deprived of all participation in the work of
13:31
Speaker 1: teaching and training the young. Five others, reviving the depraved
13:38
Speaker 1: fictions of innovators errors, many times condemned, presume with extraordinary
13:44
Speaker 1: impudence to subordinate the authority of the Church and of
13:48
Speaker 1: this apostolic see conferred upon it by Christ our Lord,
13:52
Speaker 1: to the judgment of civil authority, and to deny to
13:56
Speaker 1: all the rights of this same Church and this sea
14:00
Speaker 1: with regard to those things which appertain to the secular order.
14:05
Speaker 1: For these persons do not blush to affirm that the
14:08
Speaker 1: laws of the Church do not bind the conscience if
14:11
Speaker 1: they are not promulgated by the civil power, That the
14:14
Speaker 1: acts and decrees of the Roman pontiffs concerning religion and
14:18
Speaker 1: the Church require the sanction and approbation, or at least
14:22
Speaker 1: the assent of the civil power, And that the apostolic
14:26
Speaker 1: constitutions Clement the twelfth in EMINENTI Benedict, the fourteenth Providace
14:33
Speaker 1: Romanorum Pious, the seventh Ecclesiam Le are the twelfth Quo
14:40
Speaker 1: graviora condemning secret societies. Whether these exact or do not
14:45
Speaker 1: exact an oath of secrecy and branding with anathema their
14:49
Speaker 1: followers and partisans, have no force in those countries of
14:53
Speaker 1: the world where such associations are tolerated by the civil government.
14:59
Speaker 1: It is likewise affirmed that the excommunications launched by the
15:03
Speaker 1: Council of Trent and the Roman Pontiffs against all those
15:07
Speaker 1: who invade and usurp the possessions of the Church and
15:10
Speaker 1: its rights, strive by confounding the spiritual and temporal orders
15:16
Speaker 1: to attain solely a mere earthly end. That the Church
15:19
Speaker 1: can decide nothing which may bind the consciousness of the
15:22
Speaker 1: faithful in the temporal order of things. The right of
15:26
Speaker 1: the Church is not competent to restrain with temporal penalties
15:30
Speaker 1: the violators of her laws. And that it is in
15:34
Speaker 1: accordance with the principles of theology and a public law
15:38
Speaker 1: for the civil government to appropriate property possessed by the churches,
15:42
Speaker 1: the religious orders and other pious establishments. And they have
15:46
Speaker 1: no shame in avowing openly and publicly the heretical statement
15:50
Speaker 1: and principle from which have emanated so many errors and
15:54
Speaker 1: perverse opinions, that the ecclesiastical power is not, by the
15:58
Speaker 1: law of God made distinct from and independent of the
16:03
Speaker 1: civil power, and that no distinction, no independence of this kind,
16:08
Speaker 1: can be maintained without the Church invading and usurping the
16:12
Speaker 1: essential rights of the civil power. Neither can we pass
16:16
Speaker 1: over in silence the audacity of those who, not enduring
16:21
Speaker 1: sound doctrine, assert that the judgments and decrees of the
16:24
Speaker 1: Holy See, the object of which is declared to concern
16:28
Speaker 1: the general welfare of the Church, its rights, and its discipline,
16:33
Speaker 1: do not claim acquiescence and obedience under pain of sin
16:36
Speaker 1: and loss of the Catholic profession, if they do not
16:39
Speaker 1: treat of the dogmas of faith and of morals. How
16:43
Speaker 1: contrary is this doctrine to the Catholic dogma of the
16:47
Speaker 1: plenary power divinely conferred on the sovereign pontiff by our
16:51
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ, to guide, to supervise, and to govern
16:57
Speaker 1: the Universal Church. No one can fail to see and
17:00
Speaker 1: understand clearly and evidently. Six amid so great a perversity
17:08
Speaker 1: of depraved opinions, we remembering our apostolic duty and solicitous
17:13
Speaker 1: before all things, for our most holy religion, for sound doctrine,
17:19
Speaker 1: for the salvation of the souls confided to us, and
17:22
Speaker 1: for the welfare of human society itself, have considered the
17:26
Speaker 1: moment opportune to raise anew our apostolic voice. Therefore, do we,
17:32
Speaker 1: by our apostolic authority, reprobate, denounce, and condemn generally and
17:37
Speaker 1: particularly all the evil opinions and doctrines specially mentioned in
17:42
Speaker 1: this letter. And we wish that they may be held
17:45
Speaker 1: as reprobated, denounced, and condemned by all the children of
17:49
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. Seven. But you know further, venerable brothers,
17:56
Speaker 1: that in our time, the haters of all truth and
17:59
Speaker 1: justice us, and violent enemies of our religion, have spread
18:03
Speaker 1: abroad other impious doctrines by means of pestilential books, pamphlets
18:09
Speaker 1: and journals, which distributed over the surface of the earth,
18:13
Speaker 1: deceive the people and wickedly lie. You are not ignorant
18:18
Speaker 1: that in our day men are found who animated and
18:21
Speaker 1: excited by the spirit of Satan, have arrived at that
18:25
Speaker 1: excess of impiety. Has not to fear to deny our
18:28
Speaker 1: Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, and to attack his divinity
18:32
Speaker 1: with scandalous persistence. And here we cannot abstain from awarding
18:37
Speaker 1: you well merited praise, venerable brothers, for all the care
18:42
Speaker 1: and zeal with which you have raised your episcopal voice
18:45
Speaker 1: against so great an impiety. Eight. And therefore in this
18:52
Speaker 1: present letter we speak to you with all affection. To you,
18:56
Speaker 1: who called to partake of our cares, are our greatest
19:00
Speaker 1: support in the midst of our very great grief, our
19:03
Speaker 1: joy and consolation by reason of the excellent piety of
19:07
Speaker 1: which you give proof in maintaining religion, and a marvelous love, faith,
19:12
Speaker 1: and discipline with which, united by the strongest and most
19:16
Speaker 1: affectionate ties to us. And this Apostolic see is strive
19:20
Speaker 1: valiantly and accurately to fulfill your most weighty episcopal ministry.
19:25
Speaker 1: We do then expect from your excellent pastoral zeal that,
19:30
Speaker 1: taking the sword to the spirit, which is the Word
19:33
Speaker 1: of God, and strengthened by the grace of our Lord
19:36
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you will watch with redoubled care that the
19:40
Speaker 1: faith will commit it to your charge. Abstain from evil
19:44
Speaker 1: pasturage which Jesus Christ doth not tell, because his father
19:49
Speaker 1: hath not planted it Saint Ignatius Epistle to the Philadelphians,
19:55
Speaker 1: and Saint Leo Epistle one hundred and fifty six. Never cease, then,
20:01
Speaker 1: to inculcate on the faithful that all true happiness for
20:04
Speaker 1: mankind proceed from our august religion, from its doctrine and practice,
20:10
Speaker 1: and that the people is happy who have the Lord
20:13
Speaker 1: for their God some one hundred and forty three. Teach
20:18
Speaker 1: them that kingdoms rest upon the foundation of the Catholic
20:21
Speaker 1: faith Saint Celestine Epistle twenty two. And that nothing is
20:27
Speaker 1: so deadly, nothing so certain to engender every ill, nothing
20:32
Speaker 1: so exposed to danger, as for men to believe that
20:36
Speaker 1: they stand in need of nothing else than the free
20:38
Speaker 1: will which we received at birth. If we ask nothing
20:42
Speaker 1: further from the Lord, that is to say, if forgetting
20:46
Speaker 1: our author we obdure his power to show that we
20:49
Speaker 1: are free Saint Innocent the First Epistle, twenty nine. And
20:55
Speaker 1: do not admit to teach that the royal power has
20:58
Speaker 1: been established not only to exercise the government of the world,
21:02
Speaker 1: but above all for the protection of the church Saint
21:06
Speaker 1: Leo Epistle one hundred and fifty six. And that there
21:10
Speaker 1: is nothing more profitable and more glorious for the sovereigns
21:14
Speaker 1: of states and kings than to leave the Catholic Church
21:18
Speaker 1: to exercise her laws, and not to permit any to
21:21
Speaker 1: curtail her liberty. As our most wise and courageous predecessor,
21:26
Speaker 1: Saint Felix wrote to the Emperor Zeno, it is certain
21:30
Speaker 1: that it is advantageous for sovereigns, when the cause of
21:34
Speaker 1: God is in question, to submit their royal will according
21:38
Speaker 1: to his ordinance to the priests of Jesus Christ, and
21:42
Speaker 1: not to prefer it before them. Pius the seventh Insycnical
21:46
Speaker 1: Diusartis May the fifteenth, eighteen hundred nine, And if always so,
21:55
Speaker 1: especially at present, Venerable Brothers, in the midst of the
21:59
Speaker 1: numerus calamities of the Church and of civil society. In
22:03
Speaker 1: view also of the terrible conspiracy of our adversaries against
22:08
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church and this Apostolic See, and the great
22:11
Speaker 1: accumulation of errors, it is before all things necessary to
22:16
Speaker 1: go with faith to the Throne of Grace, to obtain
22:19
Speaker 1: mercy and find grace in timely aid. We have therefore
22:24
Speaker 1: judged it right to excite the piety of all the faithful,
22:27
Speaker 1: in order that with us and with you all they
22:31
Speaker 1: may pray without ceasing to the Father of Lights and
22:34
Speaker 1: of mercies, supplicating and beseeching Him fervently and humbly, And
22:40
Speaker 1: in the plenitude of their faith, they may seek refuge
22:43
Speaker 1: in our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us to
22:47
Speaker 1: God with his blood, that by their earnest and continual
22:51
Speaker 1: prayers they may obtain from that most dear heart, victim
22:55
Speaker 1: of burning charity for us, that it would draw all
22:59
Speaker 1: to himself by the bonds of his love, that all men,
23:04
Speaker 1: being inflamed by His holy love, may live according to
23:07
Speaker 1: his heart, pleasing God in all things, and being fruitful
23:12
Speaker 1: in all good works. But as there is no doubt
23:16
Speaker 1: that the prayers most agreeable to God are those of
23:18
Speaker 1: men who approach Him with a heart pure from all stain,
23:23
Speaker 1: we have thought it good to open to Christians with
23:26
Speaker 1: apostolic liberality the heavenly treasures of the Church confided to
23:30
Speaker 1: our dispensation, so that the faithful, more strongly drawn towards
23:35
Speaker 1: true piety and purified from the stain of their sins
23:39
Speaker 1: by the sacrament of penance, may more confidently offer up
23:42
Speaker 1: their prayers to God and obtain His mercy and grace.
23:48
Speaker 1: Ten By these letters, therefore, emanating from our Apostolic authority,
23:54
Speaker 1: we grant to all and each of the faithful of
23:56
Speaker 1: both sexes throughout the Catholic world plenary indulgence in the
24:01
Speaker 1: manner of a jubilee during one month up to the
24:05
Speaker 1: end of the coming year eighteen sixty five, and no
24:08
Speaker 1: longer to be carried into effect by you, venerable brethren,
24:12
Speaker 1: and by the other legitimate local ordinaries, in a form
24:16
Speaker 1: and manner laid down at the commencement of our sovereign
24:19
Speaker 1: pontificate by our Apostolic letters, in form of a brief
24:23
Speaker 1: dated twentieth November a d. Eighteen forty six, and sent
24:28
Speaker 1: to the whole Episcopate of the world, commencing with the
24:31
Speaker 1: words Alcanno divina providentiae contilio, and with the faculties given
24:37
Speaker 1: by us in those same letters. We desire, however, that
24:42
Speaker 1: all the prescriptions of our letters shall be observed, saving
24:45
Speaker 1: the exceptions we have declared are to be made. And
24:49
Speaker 1: we have granted this notwithstanding all which might make to
24:52
Speaker 1: the contrary, even those worthy of special and individual mention
24:57
Speaker 1: and derogation, and in order that every doubt and difficulty
25:00
Speaker 1: may be removed. We have ordered that copies of those
25:04
Speaker 1: letters should be again forwarded to you. Eleven. Let us
25:09
Speaker 1: implore venerable brethren from our inmost hearts and with all
25:14
Speaker 1: our souls the mercy of God. He has encouraged us
25:18
Speaker 1: to do so by saying, I will not withdraw my
25:22
Speaker 1: mercy from them. Let us ask, and we shall receive.
25:27
Speaker 1: And if there is slowness or delay in the reception
25:29
Speaker 1: because we have grievously offended, let us knock. Because to
25:34
Speaker 1: him that knocketh, it shall be opened. If our prayers
25:38
Speaker 1: groans and tears in which we must persist and be obstinate,
25:43
Speaker 1: knock at the door. And if our prayers be united.
25:47
Speaker 1: Let each one pray to God, not for himself alone,
25:51
Speaker 1: but for all his brethren, as the Lord hath taught
25:54
Speaker 1: us to pray Saint Cyprian Epistle eleven. But in order
25:59
Speaker 1: that God may ecceed more easily to our and your prayers,
26:03
Speaker 1: and to those of all his faithful servants, let us
26:06
Speaker 1: employ in all confidence as our mediatrix with him, the
26:11
Speaker 1: Virgin Mary, Mother of God, who has destroyed all heresies
26:15
Speaker 1: throughout the world, and who the most loving mother of us,
26:19
Speaker 1: all is very gracious and full of mercy, allows herself
26:24
Speaker 1: to be entreated by all, shows herself most clement towards all,
26:29
Speaker 1: and takes under her pitying care all our necessities were
26:33
Speaker 1: the most ample affection. Saint Bernard sermon on the twelve
26:38
Speaker 1: prerogatives of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the words of
26:41
Speaker 1: the Apocalypse, and sitting as queen for the right hand
26:45
Speaker 1: of her only begotten son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in
26:50
Speaker 1: a gold investment, clothed the round with various adornments, there
26:54
Speaker 1: is nothing which he cannot obtain from him. Let us
26:57
Speaker 1: implore also the intervention of the Blessed Peter, chief of
27:02
Speaker 1: the Apostles, and his co Apostle Paul, and of all
27:06
Speaker 1: those saints of Heaven, who, having already become the friends
27:09
Speaker 1: of God, have been admitted into the celestial Kingdom with
27:13
Speaker 1: our crowned and bear palms in their hands, and who henceforth,
27:19
Speaker 1: certain of their own immortality, are solicitous for our salvation. Twelve.
27:27
Speaker 1: In conclusion, we ask of God from our inmost soul
27:32
Speaker 1: the abundance of all His celestial benefits for you, and
27:35
Speaker 1: we bestow upon you venerable brethren, and upon all the
27:39
Speaker 1: faithful clergy and laity committed to your care. Our apostolic
27:44
Speaker 1: benediction from the most loving depths of our heart in
27:48
Speaker 1: token of our charity towards you, Pope Pious the Ninth,
27:54
Speaker 1: given at Rome from Saint Peter's this eighth day of
27:58
Speaker 1: December eighteen sixty four, the tenth anniversary of the dogmatic
28:02
Speaker 1: definition of the Immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, Mother
28:06
Speaker 1: of God, in the nineteenth year of our pontificate. End
28:12
Speaker 1: of incyclical Letter Quantacura condemning current errors, Section two of
28:25
Speaker 1: Encyclical Letter Quantacura and the Syllabus of Errors by Pope
28:31
Speaker 1: Pius the Ninth. This LibriVox recording is in the public
28:36
Speaker 1: domain the Syllabus of Errors, Syllabus of the principal errors
28:43
Speaker 1: of our time, which are censured in the consistorial elocutions,
28:47
Speaker 1: encyclicals and other apostolic letters of our most Holy Lord,
28:52
Speaker 1: Pious the Ninth. Pantheism, naturalism and absolute rationalism. One. There
29:02
Speaker 1: exists no supreme, all wise or provident Divine, being distinct
29:06
Speaker 1: from the universe, and God is identical with the nature
29:10
Speaker 1: of things and is therefore subject to changes in effect,
29:15
Speaker 1: God is produced in man and in the world, And
29:18
Speaker 1: all things are God and have the very substance of God.
29:22
Speaker 1: And God is one and the same thing with the world.
29:25
Speaker 1: And therefore spirit with matter, necessity, with liberty, good with evil,
29:32
Speaker 1: justice with injustice. Two, All action of God upon man
29:38
Speaker 1: and the world is to be denied. Three. Human reason,
29:45
Speaker 1: without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter
29:49
Speaker 1: of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil. It
29:53
Speaker 1: is law to itself, and suffices by its natural force
29:57
Speaker 1: to secure the welfare of men and of nature. Four.
30:03
Speaker 1: All the truth of religion proceed from the innate strength
30:06
Speaker 1: of human reason. Hence reason is the ultimate standard by
30:11
Speaker 1: which men can and ought to arrive of the knowledge
30:14
Speaker 1: of all truths of every kind. Five. Divine revelation is
30:21
Speaker 1: imperfect and therefore subject to a continual and indefinite progress
30:26
Speaker 1: corresponding with the advancement of human reason. Six. The faith
30:32
Speaker 1: of Christ is in opposition to human reason, and divine
30:36
Speaker 1: revelation not only is not useful, but is even hurtful
30:40
Speaker 1: to the perfection of man. Seven. The prophecies and miracles
30:46
Speaker 1: set forth and recorded in the Sacred Scriptures are the
30:50
Speaker 1: fiction of poets and the mysteries of the Christian faith,
30:54
Speaker 1: the result of philosophical investigations in the books of the
30:57
Speaker 1: Old and New Testament contained mythical inventions, and Jesus Christ
31:03
Speaker 1: is himself a myth moderate rationalism. Eight. As human reason
31:12
Speaker 1: is placed on the level with religion itself, so theological
31:16
Speaker 1: sciences must be treated in the same manner as philosophical sciences. Nine.
31:24
Speaker 1: All the dogmas of the Christian religion are indiscriminately the
31:28
Speaker 1: object of natural science or philosophy, and human reason, enlightened
31:33
Speaker 1: solely in an historical way, is able by its own
31:38
Speaker 1: natural strength and principles, to attain to the true science
31:42
Speaker 1: of even the most obstruse dogmas, provided only that such
31:46
Speaker 1: dogmas be proposed to reason itself as its object. Ten.
31:53
Speaker 1: As a philosopher is one thing, and philosophy another, so
31:57
Speaker 1: it is the right and duty of the philosopher to
31:59
Speaker 1: subject himself to the authority which he shall have proved
32:03
Speaker 1: to be true. But philosophy neither can nor ought to
32:07
Speaker 1: submit to any such authority. Eleven. The Church not only
32:13
Speaker 1: ought never to pass judgment on philosophy, but ought to
32:17
Speaker 1: tolerate the errors of philosophy, leaving it to correct itself. Twelve.
32:24
Speaker 1: The decrees of the Apostolic See and of the Roman
32:27
Speaker 1: congregations impede the true progress of science. Thirteen. The method
32:35
Speaker 1: and principles by which the old scholastic doctors cultivated theology
32:40
Speaker 1: are no longer suitable to the demands of our times
32:43
Speaker 1: and to the progress of the sciences. Fourteen. Philosophy is
32:49
Speaker 1: to be treated without taking any account of supernatural revelation
32:54
Speaker 1: n B to the rationalistic system, belonging great part the
32:59
Speaker 1: errors of Anthony Gunta, condemned in the letter to the
33:03
Speaker 1: Cardinal Archbishop of Cologne Eximium Tuam, July fifteenth, eighteen fifty seven,
33:10
Speaker 1: and in that to the Bishop of Breslau do laure
33:12
Speaker 1: Hold Mediocre April thirtieth, eighteen sixty indifferentism, latitudinarianism. Fifteen. Every
33:25
Speaker 1: man is free to embrace and profess that religion which,
33:28
Speaker 1: guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.
33:34
Speaker 1: Sixteen man may, in the observance of any religion whatever,
33:39
Speaker 1: find the way of eternal salvation and arrive at eternal salvation.
33:45
Speaker 1: Seventeen Good hope, at least is to be entertained of
33:49
Speaker 1: the eternal salvation of all those who are not in
33:52
Speaker 1: the True Church of Christ eighteen. Protestantism is nothing more
33:59
Speaker 1: than another the form of the same true Christian religion,
34:03
Speaker 1: in which form it is given to please God equally
34:06
Speaker 1: as in the Catholic Church, Socialism, communism, secret societies, biblical societies,
34:15
Speaker 1: clerico liberal societies. Pests of this kind are frequently reprobated
34:21
Speaker 1: in the severest terms in the encyclical Quipleuribus November ninth,
34:27
Speaker 1: eighteen forty six, alocution Quibus quantisque April twentieth, eighteen forty nine,
34:35
Speaker 1: encyclical Nostis Nobiscum December the eighth, eighteen forty nine, Allocutionian
34:41
Speaker 1: Singulari qua Dame December the ninth, eighteen fifty four, and
34:46
Speaker 1: the cyclical Quanto conficiamrd. August tenth, eighteen sixty three. Errors
34:54
Speaker 1: concerning the Church and her rites nineteen. The Church is
34:59
Speaker 1: not true and perfect society entirely free, nor is she
35:04
Speaker 1: endowed with proper and perpetual rights of her own, conferred
35:08
Speaker 1: upon her by her divine founder. But it appertains to
35:11
Speaker 1: the civil power to define what are the rights of
35:14
Speaker 1: the Church and the limits within which she may exercise
35:18
Speaker 1: those rights. Twenty The ecclesiastical power ought not to exercise
35:24
Speaker 1: its authority without the permission and assent of the civil government.
35:30
Speaker 1: Twenty one. The Church has not the power of defining
35:33
Speaker 1: dogmatically that the religion of the Catholic Church is the
35:37
Speaker 1: only true religion. Twenty two. The obligation by which Catholic
35:43
Speaker 1: teachers and authors are strictly bound is confined to those
35:47
Speaker 1: things only which are proposed to universal belief as dogmas
35:51
Speaker 1: of faith. By the infallible judgment of the Church. Twenty three,
35:58
Speaker 1: Roman pontiffs and ecumenical councils have wandered outside the limits
36:02
Speaker 1: of their powers, have usurped the rights of princes, and
36:06
Speaker 1: have even erred in defining matters of faith and morals.
36:11
Speaker 1: Twenty four. The Church has not the power of using force,
36:15
Speaker 1: nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect. Twenty five.
36:22
Speaker 1: Besides the power inherent in the episcopate, other temporal power
36:26
Speaker 1: has been attributed to it by the civil authority, granted
36:30
Speaker 1: either explicitly or tacitly, which on that account is revocable
36:35
Speaker 1: by the civil authority whenever it thinks fit. Twenty six.
36:41
Speaker 1: The Church has no innate and legitimate right of acquiring
36:44
Speaker 1: and possessing property. Twenty seven. The sacred ministers of the
36:50
Speaker 1: Church and the Roman Pontiff are to be absolutely excluded
36:54
Speaker 1: from every charge and dominion over temporal affairs. Twenty eight.
37:00
Speaker 1: It is not lawful for bishops to publish even letters
37:02
Speaker 1: apostolic without the permission of government. Twenty nine. Favors granted
37:09
Speaker 1: by the Roman Pontiff ought to be considered null unless
37:13
Speaker 1: they have been sought for through the civil government. Thirty
37:19
Speaker 1: The immunity of the church and of ecclesiastical persons derived
37:23
Speaker 1: its origin from civil law. Thirty one. The ecclesiastical forum
37:29
Speaker 1: or tribunal for the temporal causes, whether civil or criminal,
37:33
Speaker 1: of clerics ought by all, means to be abolished, even
37:37
Speaker 1: without consulting and against the protest of the Holy See.
37:43
Speaker 1: Thirty two. The personal immunity by which clerics are exonerated
37:47
Speaker 1: from military conscription and service in the army, may be
37:51
Speaker 1: abolished without violation either of natural right or equity. Its
37:56
Speaker 1: abolition is called for by civil progress, especially in the
38:00
Speaker 1: society framed on the model of a liberal government. Thirty three.
38:06
Speaker 1: It does not appertain exclusively to the power of ecclesiastical
38:10
Speaker 1: jurisdiction by right proper or innate to direct the teaching
38:15
Speaker 1: of theological questions. Thirty four. The teaching of those who
38:21
Speaker 1: compare the sovereign pontiff to a prince free and acting
38:24
Speaker 1: in the universal Church is a doctrine which prevailed in
38:27
Speaker 1: the Middle Ages. Thirty five. There is nothing to prevent
38:34
Speaker 1: the decree of a general Council or the Act of
38:37
Speaker 1: all peoples from transferring the Supreme Pontificate from the Bishop
38:41
Speaker 1: and City of Rome to another bishop and another city.
38:47
Speaker 1: Thirty six. The definition of a national council does not
38:50
Speaker 1: admit of any subsequent discussion, and the civil authority can
38:54
Speaker 1: assume this principle as the basis of its acts. National
39:01
Speaker 1: churches was drawn from the authority of the Roman pontiff,
39:05
Speaker 1: and altogether separated can be established. Thirty eight. The Roman
39:12
Speaker 1: pontiffs have, by their too arbitrary conduct, contributed to the
39:16
Speaker 1: division of the Church into Eastern and Western errors about
39:22
Speaker 1: civil society considered both in itself and in its relation
39:26
Speaker 1: to the Church. Thirty nine. The state has been the
39:32
Speaker 1: origin and source of all rights. Is endowed with a
39:35
Speaker 1: certain right not circumscribed by any limits. Forty The teaching
39:41
Speaker 1: of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well being
39:44
Speaker 1: and interests of society. Forty one. The civil government, even
39:51
Speaker 1: when in the hands of an infidel sovereign, has a
39:54
Speaker 1: right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs. It
39:58
Speaker 1: therefore possesses not only the right called that of exisquator,
40:03
Speaker 1: but also that of appeal called apalazio ab abusu. Forty two.
40:10
Speaker 1: In a case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers,
40:14
Speaker 1: the civil law prevails. Forty three. The secular power has
40:20
Speaker 1: authority to rescind, declare, and render null solemn conventions commonly
40:26
Speaker 1: called concordates entered into with the Apostolic See regarding the
40:31
Speaker 1: use of rights appertaining to ecclesiastical immunity without the consent
40:35
Speaker 1: of the Apostolic See, and even in spite of its
40:38
Speaker 1: protest Forty four, the civil authority may interfere in matters
40:44
Speaker 1: relating to religion, morality, and spiritual government. Hence, it can
40:50
Speaker 1: pass judgment on the instructions issued for the guidance of
40:52
Speaker 1: consciences conformably with their mission by the pastors of the church. Further,
40:58
Speaker 1: it has the right to make enactments regarding the administration
41:02
Speaker 1: of the divine sacraments and the disposition necessary for receiving them.
41:08
Speaker 1: Forty five. The entire government of public schools in which
41:12
Speaker 1: the youth of a Christian state is educated, except to
41:16
Speaker 1: a certain extent in the case of episcopal seminaries, may
41:20
Speaker 1: and ought to appertain to the civil power and belong
41:24
Speaker 1: to it, so far that no other authority whatsoever shall
41:27
Speaker 1: be recognized as having any right to interfere in a
41:31
Speaker 1: discipline of the schools, the arrangement of the studies, the
41:35
Speaker 1: conferring of degrees, in the choice or approval of the
41:38
Speaker 1: teachers forty six. Moreover, even in ecclesiastical seminaries, the method
41:46
Speaker 1: of studies to be adopted is subject to the civil
41:49
Speaker 1: authority forty seven. The best theory of civil society requires
41:55
Speaker 1: that popular skirls be open to children of every class
41:58
Speaker 1: of the people, and generally, all public institutes intended for
42:03
Speaker 1: instruction in letters and philosophical sciences, and for carry on
42:08
Speaker 1: the education of youth, should be freed from all ecclesiastical
42:11
Speaker 1: authority control and interference, and should be fully subjected to
42:16
Speaker 1: the civil and political power, at the pleasure of the rulers,
42:20
Speaker 1: and according to the standard of the prevalent opinions of
42:23
Speaker 1: the age. Forty eight Catholics may approve of the system
42:29
Speaker 1: of educating youth unconnected with Catholic faith and the power
42:33
Speaker 1: of the Church, and which regards the knowledge of merely
42:36
Speaker 1: natural things and only, or at least primarily, the ends
42:40
Speaker 1: of earthly social life. Forty nine. The civil power may
42:46
Speaker 1: prevent the prelates of the Church and the faithful from
42:49
Speaker 1: communicating freely and mutually with the Roman Pontiff. Fifty Lay
42:55
Speaker 1: authority possesses of itself the right of presenting bishops, and
43:00
Speaker 1: may require of them to undertake the administration of the
43:03
Speaker 1: diocese before they receive canonical institution and the letters apostolic
43:08
Speaker 1: from the Holy See. Fifty one and further, the lay
43:14
Speaker 1: government has the right of deposing bishops from their pastoral functions,
43:18
Speaker 1: and is not bound to obey the Roman Pontiff in
43:21
Speaker 1: those things which relate to the institution of bishoprics and
43:25
Speaker 1: the appointment of bishops. Fifty two. Government can, by its
43:31
Speaker 1: own right or to the age prescribed by the Church
43:35
Speaker 1: for the religious profession of women and men, and may
43:39
Speaker 1: require of all religious orders to admit no person to
43:42
Speaker 1: take solemn vows without its permission. Fifty three. The Laws
43:48
Speaker 1: enacted for the protection of religious orders, and regarding their
43:52
Speaker 1: rights and duties ought to be abolished. Nay more, civil
43:57
Speaker 1: government may lend its assistance to all desire to renounce
44:00
Speaker 1: the obligation which they have undertaken of a religious life,
44:05
Speaker 1: and to break their vows. Government may also suppress the
44:08
Speaker 1: said religious orders, as likewise collegiate colleges and simple benefices,
44:15
Speaker 1: even those of a de vouson, and subject their property
44:18
Speaker 1: and revenues to the administration and pleasure of the civil power.
44:24
Speaker 1: Fifty four. Kings and princes are not only exempt from
44:28
Speaker 1: the jurisdiction of the Church, but are superior to the
44:31
Speaker 1: Church in deciding questions of jurisdiction. Fifty five. The Church
44:38
Speaker 1: ought to be separated from the state, and the state
44:41
Speaker 1: from the Church. Errors concerning natural and Christian ethics fifty six.
44:50
Speaker 1: Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction,
44:54
Speaker 1: and it is not at all necessary that human law
44:57
Speaker 1: should be made conformable to the laws of nature and
45:00
Speaker 1: receive their power of binding from God. Fifty seven. The
45:06
Speaker 1: science of philosophical things and morals, and also civil laws
45:10
Speaker 1: may and ought to keep aloof from divine an ecclesiastical authority.
45:17
Speaker 1: Fifty eight. No other forces are to be recognized except
45:21
Speaker 1: those which reside in matter and all erectitude. An excellence
45:26
Speaker 1: of morality ought to be placed in the accumulation an
45:29
Speaker 1: increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification
45:34
Speaker 1: of pleasure. Fifty nine. Right consists in the material fact.
45:40
Speaker 1: All human duties are an empty word, and all human
45:44
Speaker 1: facts have the force of right. Sixty Authority is nothing
45:50
Speaker 1: else but numbers and the sum total of material forces.
45:56
Speaker 1: Sixty one. The injustice of an act when success infixed
46:01
Speaker 1: no injury on the sanctity of right sixty two. The
46:06
Speaker 1: principle of non intervention, as it is called, or to
46:10
Speaker 1: be proclaimed and observed. Sixty three. It is lawful to
46:16
Speaker 1: refuse obedience to legitimate princes, and even to rebel against them.
46:23
Speaker 1: Sixty four. The violation of any solemn oath, as well
46:27
Speaker 1: as any wicked and flagitious action repugnant to the eternal law,
46:32
Speaker 1: is not only not blameable, but is altogether lawful and
46:35
Speaker 1: worthy of the highest praise, when done through love of country.
46:42
Speaker 1: Errors concerning Christian marriage sixty five the doctrine that Christ
46:48
Speaker 1: has raised marriage to the dignity of a sacrament cannot
46:51
Speaker 1: be at all tolerated sixty six. The sacrament of marriage
46:58
Speaker 1: is only a something accessory to them the contract and
47:01
Speaker 1: separate from it, and the sacrament itself consists in the
47:04
Speaker 1: nuptial benediction alone. Sixty seven. By the law of nature,
47:11
Speaker 1: the marriage tie is not indissoluble, and in many cases
47:15
Speaker 1: divorced properly so called may be decreed by the civil authority.
47:21
Speaker 1: Sixty eight. The Church is not the power of establishing
47:25
Speaker 1: durament impediments of marriage, but such a power belongs to
47:29
Speaker 1: the civil authority by which existing impediments are to be removed.
47:35
Speaker 1: Sixty nine. In the Dark Ages, the Church began to
47:39
Speaker 1: establish durament impediments not by her own right, but using
47:43
Speaker 1: a power borrowed from the state. Seventy The canons of
47:49
Speaker 1: the Council of Trent, which have anathematized those who dare
47:52
Speaker 1: to deny to the Church the right of establishing durament impediments,
47:57
Speaker 1: either are not dogmatic or must be understood as referring
48:01
Speaker 1: to such borrowed power. Seventy one. The form of solemnizing
48:07
Speaker 1: marriage prescribed by the Council of Trent under pain of
48:11
Speaker 1: nullity does not bind in cases where the civil law
48:14
Speaker 1: lays down another form, and declares that when this new
48:18
Speaker 1: form is used, the marriage shall be valid. Seventy two.
48:24
Speaker 1: Boniface the eighth was the first who declare that the
48:27
Speaker 1: vow of chastity taken at ordination renders marriage void seventy three.
48:35
Speaker 1: In force of a merely civil contract, there may exist
48:38
Speaker 1: between Christians a real marriage, and it is false to
48:42
Speaker 1: say either that the marriage contract between Christians is always
48:46
Speaker 1: a sacrament or that there is no contract if the
48:49
Speaker 1: sacrament be excluded seventy four. Matrimonial causes and espousals belong
48:57
Speaker 1: by their nature to civil tribunals. N B to the
49:03
Speaker 1: preceding questions may be referred to. Other errors regarding the
49:07
Speaker 1: celibacy of priests and the preference due to the state
49:10
Speaker 1: of marriage over that of virginity. These have been stigmatized,
49:16
Speaker 1: the first in the encyclical Qui Pluribus November ninth, eighteen
49:20
Speaker 1: forty six, the second in the letter Apostolic Multiciples inter
49:26
Speaker 1: June the tenth, eighteen fifty one. Errors regarding the civil
49:32
Speaker 1: power of the sovereign pontiff seventy five. The children of
49:37
Speaker 1: the Christian and Catholic Church are divided amongst themselves about
49:40
Speaker 1: the compatibility of the temporal with the spiritual power seventy six.
49:47
Speaker 1: The abolition of the temporal power of which the Apostolic
49:50
Speaker 1: See is possessed, would contribute in the greatest degree to
49:54
Speaker 1: the liberty and prosperity of the Church. Nb. Beside. Besides
50:00
Speaker 1: these errors explicitly censured, very many others are implicitly condemned
50:05
Speaker 1: by the doctrine propounded and established which all Catholics are
50:09
Speaker 1: bound most firmly to hold, touching the temporal sovereignty of
50:13
Speaker 1: the Roman pontiff. This doctrine is clearly stated in the
50:17
Speaker 1: Allocutionans quibus quantisque April twentieth, eighteen forty nine and Si

50:48
Speaker 1: two errors having reference to modern liberalism seventy seven. In
50:57
Speaker 1: the present day, it is no longer expedient that the
51:00
Speaker 1: Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of
51:03
Speaker 1: the state, to the exclusion of all other forms of
51:06
Speaker 1: worship seventy eight. Hence, it has been wisely decided by
51:12
Speaker 1: law in some Catholic countries that persons coming to reside
51:16
Speaker 1: therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their own peculiar
51:20
Speaker 1: worship seventy nine. Moreover, it is false that the civil
51:26
Speaker 1: liberty of every form of worship, and the full power
51:30
Speaker 1: given to all of evenly and publicly manifesting any opinions
51:34
Speaker 1: whatsoever and thoughts, conduce more easily to corrupt the morals
51:39
Speaker 1: and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest
51:42
Speaker 1: of indifferentism. Eighty. The Roman pontiff can and ought to
51:48
Speaker 1: reconcile himself and come to terms with progress, liberalism, and
51:53
Speaker 1: modern civilization. End of the Syllabus of Errors. End of
