Chapter,  Paragraph

501  6,23|           Italian people? What is this pretended liberty when another occasion,

503  5,21|            inculcating respect for the principle of authority, and by lightening
504  2,13|                faithful, or public and private charity; and finally, when
505  3,15|             therefore a most arbitrary proceeding to dissolve so many Catholic
506  2,11|                praiseworthy courage to proclaim in public, the real causes
507  4,19|          farther: by the doctrine they profess they are the staunchest
508  2,11|            effects to their causes and profiting by the sharp lesson they
509  0,2 |              which fills Our soul with profound sadness. We allude to the
510  6,23|      applied-measures which afflict Us profoundly for a higher reason that
511  1,4 |           public and social life. By a progressive series of systematized oppressions

513  3,15|           combine their forces for the promotion of the moral and material

515  4,19|            their worth and merits were properly appreciated they would,

517  2,13|               and parochial committees proscribed, the sittings of congresses
518  0,1 |               have had to complain and protest against the acts designed

520  6,24|            firm Our confidence in that Providence which governs the world,
521  5,21|               pointed out the error of provoking a conflict with that great
522  1,5 |            savage instincts and to the pursuit of material interests. The
523  5,22|               for the end of this long quarrel which is the source of the

527  2,8 |                of Italy. Such were Our recommendations, several times repeated,
528  2,9 |              night shelters, clubs for recreation, and catechism classes,

532  6,23|               for a higher reason that regards not only the Catholics of
533  1,5 |                deplore these grave and reiterated outrages. We deplored them
534  6,23|            which menace their country, reject every real and effective
535  2,8 |          people's religious spirit and relieve the misery which, ever an

539  1,5 |                no certain or effective remedy in the severity of the law,

577  2,11|                and with such impunity, scattered over the Peninsula. We thought

613  2,13|             committees proscribed, the sittings of congresses disallowed,

621  2,10|           grieved, than We at this sad spectacle.~
622  6,25|                saw the light, happy in spending our remaining strength in
623  6,23|         guileless charitable works, in spite of the guarantees they possessed
624  4,19|              they profess they are the staunchest supporters of order, and
625  1,4 |                was ever the glory, the stay and the strength of the

630  2,11|               of these riots and civil strifes, those who have the direction
631  3,15|                      15. Such measures strike at the foundations of justice

633  6,27|       prescribed by faith, and in full submission to your pastors, follow
634  5,21|             which Italy has become the successful teacher of nations, and
635  2,10|            Italy into mourning. No one suffered more deeply in his heart'
636  6,26|           every means that charity can suggest. Whatever may be the trend
637  4,19|                they are the staunchest supporters of order, and so they are

639  2,12|                 12. Great then was Our surprise and sorrow when We learned
640  6,26|            which they are on all sides surrounded, consoling the poor and
641  2,13|       outspoken Catholic journals were suspended or suppressed, diocesan
642  1,4 |                a progressive series of systematized oppressions the monasteries
643  1,4 |            patrimony of the Church was taken away; military service was
644  6,26|                      26. In this noble task We are sure that you, Venerable
645  5,21|              has become the successful teacher of nations, and the head
646  3,18|            associations are accused of tendencies opposed to the actual political
647  1,7 |                universities, clubs and theatres, to scatter broadcast the
648  3,17|         bulwark against the subversive theories of socialism and anarchy;
649      | There
650  2,11|                             11. We did think, however, that in seeking
651  6,23|               about the suppression of thousands of guileless charitable
652  4,20|                to be changed either by threats or violence. They will put

654      | together

666  6,24|        beautiful works of St. Ambrose "Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia." Both

671  2,11|             minds were not wanting who understood, and had the praiseworthy
672  1,7 |               measure of redress being undertaken, a persistent attempt was
673  0,2 |            Catholic institutions. This undeserved and unjust rigour has called
674  2,8 |               in danger; it is time to unfold all your activity and to
