1 10 | From Another Point of View~10. So far We have considered
2 11 | 11. Already the test of the
3 12 | Without Religion Ye Are Naught~12. All know with what salutary
4 13 | Italy Without Religion~13. For Italy, moreover, the
5 14 | The Dangers of Socialism~14. Moreover, one of the greatest
6 15 | 15. But this is not all.-As,
7 20 | at St. Peter's, on the 15th of October, 1890, the thirteenth
8 16 | 16. Such is the so-called welfare
9 17 | If Only~17. Suppose, instead of this,
10 18 | Founded on a Rock~18. These are not vain illusions,
11 20 | on the 15th of October, 1890, the thirteenth year of
12 19 | Prayers and Benedictions~19. But, for the enlightening
13 2 | Object of the Encyclical~2. We shall not say anything
14 20 | 20. As a pledge meanwhile of
15 3 | 3. It is well to trace from
16 4 | Facilis Descensus Averni"~4. The war began by the overthrow
17 6 | The Masonic Ideal~6. In the light of such facts
18 7 | 7. Without exaggeration, this
19 8 | Thus Shall You Fight~8. No means must be neglected
20 9 | 9. As to the Catholic people,
21 6 | rigorous application of a1l Laws now in force, which
22 17 | to its religion, would be able worthily to emulate the
23 18 | calumny, artfully spread abroad by the sects to disguise
24 6 | State, which ought to be absolutely atheistic, has the inalienable
25 13 | dry up at once the most abundant source of inestimable help
26 17 | and the Church have ever abundantly produced. From their divine
27 6 | destinies of the country, from academical and other unions, from companies,
28 5 | aspirations of the sects; and for accomplishing their aspirations, they
29 16 | hands, do all they can, in accordance with the impious aspiration
30 5 | all charitable property, accumulated by the piety and religion
31 5 | spokesmen were not ashamed to acknowledge its purpose and to declare
32 17 | and his sovereign rights acknowledged, he would be restored to
33 17 | cease, and Italy would thus acquire a powerful element of order
34 9 | devote themselves with activity, courage and constancy,
35 2 | system of which they are the actual operation and development.
36 13 | which can be wonderfully adapted to the needs of every time
37 7 | the Catholic Church, and add difficulty and indignity
38 9 | Italy.Lastly, the teaching addressed by Us to all Catholics,
39 6 | belongs to the State, and its administration to the civil power.-The
40 6 | element from all public administrations, from pious works, hospitals,
41 12 | conscientious and diligent administrators. It is religion which produces
42 11 | constrained by truth to admit it. We will only say that,
43 5 | Italy. Yes, this system is adopted and carried out wherever
44 17 | receive a new impulse to advance in its glorious path. Rome,
45 5 | hold the public power. Laws adverse to the Church and measures
46 18 | attention, not of those affiliated to the sects, whose deliberate
47 | afterwards
48 17 | there is in the present age it would receive a new impulse
49 14 | the present day, is the agitation of the Socialists, who threaten
50 6 | Laws now in force, which aim at securing the absolute
51 9 | the real object constantly aimed at, so that they may see
52 1 | times have We sounded the alarm, to give warning of the
53 14 | restrain their minds and allay the violence of passion.-
54 18 | enemies of Italy, and in alliance, so to speak, with those
55 14 | Italy of its most powerful ally against an enemy that becomes
56 18 | friends. By keeping altogether aloof from the sects, by renouncing
57 | although
58 7 | faith lively and vigorous amidst the Italian people, and
59 5 | done before, to enchain anew reason and free-thought,
60 9 | His burden light, ought to animate powerfully their courage
61 5 | States generally follow.-We answer, that this does not refute,
62 6 | and no school should exist apart from its inspiration and
63 5 | monument to the renowned apostate of Nola, which, with the
64 19 | have recourse to the holy Apostles PETER and PAUL, who subjected
65 4 | works in aid of its divine apostolate. This the sectaries themselves
66 7 | enemies. We, therefore, make appeal, Venerable Brethren, to
67 5 | presents even the least appearance of hostility or harm to
68 7 | which they incur, you may apply the proper remedies and
69 5 | facts We may mention the approval of the new penal code, in
70 9 | that true courage which arises from the consciousness of
71 14 | tribunals, and even the force of arms, will prove useless or insufficient.
72 14 | conservative forces, if we are to arrest its progress and successfully
73 18 | and a shameless calumny, artfully spread abroad by the sects
74 5 | to the contrary, were the articles against the Clergy, which
75 5 | authorised spokesmen were not ashamed to acknowledge its purpose
76 16 | accordance with the impious aspiration of the '' sects, to overthrow
77 4 | banished, when not directly assailed. Every public manifestation
78 18 | and true foundation. The assertion which for some time has
79 18 | who are so liable to go astray through inexperience and
80 13 | Christian charity, in the many asylums established for every kind
81 6 | which ought to be absolutely atheistic, has the inalienable right
82 11 | which is evil because it attacks and endeavours to destroy
83 6 | is at present directed to attain the following objects, according
84 7 | been done, is doing, or is attempted in Italy to the harm of
85 10 | them to resist the impious attempts of the sects.-As a convincing
86 18 | To this We would call the attention, not of those affiliated
87 12 | blessings. If a people does not attribute its prosperity to Him, but
88 5 | Freemasonry, whose most authorised spokesmen were not ashamed
89 14 | material force was of no avail against the hordes of barbarians,

91 19 | country, so that He may avert from it every calamity,
92 17 | its fulfilment would be awakened in all ranks of the people

96 14 | avail against the hordes of barbarians, but only the power of the
97 9 | press is occupied in laying bare the perfidious designs of

99 19 | it by their labours, and bathed it in their blood.~

101 15 | any public good, but ever bears within itself the fatal
102 | becoming
103 4 | Descensus Averni"~4. The war began by the overthrow of the
104 | beginning
105 9 | true Catholics by their belief and by actions in conformity
106 6 | principle that its ownership belongs to the State, and its administration

112 | beyond

120 | both
121 9 | which every one on earth is bound before all things, at the
122 12 | incorruptible magistrates, brave and heroic soldiers, conscientious
123 15 | conflict which has never yet brought any public good, but ever
124 9 | Jesus Christ sweet and His burden light, ought to animate

126 2 | instrument they are, they burn like him with a deadly and
127 19 | may avert from it every calamity, especially that which would
128 18 | glorious past.-To this We would call the attention, not of those
129 4 | civil marriage, as it is called; and also by the entirely
130 1 | We hear the voice of duty calling upon Us more powerfully
131 18 | gratuitous insult and a shameless calumny, artfully spread abroad
132 5 | for divine worship.-Then came that eminently sectarian
133 | cannot
134 1 | said of himself: "If the captivity of my country did not every
135 1 | people entrusted to Our care, Pastors and watchful sentinels

153 14 | quenched their ferocity, civilised their manners, and made
154 18 | truth which is seen most clearly from what we have thus far
155 4 | and of the faith. To Lay Clericalism (or Catholicism) waste in
156 15 | country of the support and co-operation of the party which is the
157 5 | approval of the new penal code, in which what was most
158 6 | unions, from companies, committees, and families,-an exclusion
159 18 | which for some time has been commonly repeated, that Catholics
160 13 | help, and increase. Its communes tell us of its public liberties:

179 10 | View~10. So far We have considered only the religious side

181 9 | with activity, courage and constancy, to Catholic works, and
182 9 | Pontiff, and the real object constantly aimed at, so that they may

188 7 | and the Pontificate are continually receiving, especially in
189 18 | designs, and to enable them to continue without obstacle their hateful

192 6 | as religion is concerned, controls the course of public affairs
193 9 | of the faith.-With this conviction in their minds, and having
194 10 | attempts of the sects.-As a convincing proof of this, it suffices
195 9 | before all things, at the cost of any sacrifice, to put
196 6 | hospitals, and schools, from the councils which govern the destinies
197 13 | which Italy is profusely covered. Of its institutions for

316 2 | every means to overthrow and fetter it. This war is at present

340 9 | from the consciousness of fulfilling a sacred duty before God

350 9 | throughout all time, have generously sacrificed everything for
