Every one has to regulate 295 13 | faith in its integrity, We declare it to be very profitable 296 24 | which the Vatican Council declared are to be believed "with 297 10 | work."(7) Thereby he openly declares that, if laws of men contain 298 3 | institutions and morality decline, the main foundation of 299 23 | of the symbol, as also to decree all other matters that concern 300 37 | accordance of thought and deed, the faithful should follow 301 41 | is the inspirer of lofty deeds, should be imbued with new 302 3 | treated of these matters, We deem it expedient in this letter 303 6 | piety, and love God with the deepest love of which we are capable. 304 41 | 41.

However, all endeavors will avail but little unless 391 5 | the soul, a life that will endure forever. For fitting it 392 43 | effort should be readily endured; and that a sublime reward 393 43 | so long as the struggle endures, to the flock alike and 394 14 | To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when 395 32 | had been generally more energetic and lively in the souls 396 35 | yet again, expend their energies in fruitless contention, 397 30 | gain perfection, neither enjoining nor forbidding anything 398 5 | Now, if the natural law enjoins us to love devotedly and 399 4 | either not sufficiently enlightened in relation to the Catholic 400 | enough 401 38 | God in His goodness has enriched and loaded us with far greater 402 36 | those who shrink not from entering the arena as often as need 403 37 | reference to opinions by him entertained about points of doctrine; 404 14 | devoid of character or who entertains doubt as to the truth of 405 17 | pervades, therefore, the entire framework of this body, 406 16 | engaged in teaching, we entreat, by the compassion of Jesus 407 21(22)| Eph. 4:5.~ 408 37 | in the exercise of their episcopal authority the bishops ought 409 22 | receive with a similar and equal assent.

So soon as Catholic truth 413 43 | it to be doubted but that especial aid of the great God will 414 11 | above the divine law, is the essential duty of Christians, and 415 3 | We see them daily losing esteem among men, either by reason 416 36(35)| Aquinas refers to Aristotle, Ethic.

The 426 33 | they say, opposition should exasperate minds already hostile. These 427 20 | things as they really are is exceedingly difficult; moreover, the 428 36 | this wisdom follows the excellent rule of moderation, with 429 17 | Church a perfect society far excelling every other, but it is enjoined 430 33 | utmost care two criminal excesses: so-called prudence and 431 27 | of governing souls as to exclude altogether the civil authority. 432 42 | manfully to have and to hold exclusive authority to direct the 433 30 | moral life, which consists exclusively in the knowledge and practice 434 39 | disorders, and not one entirely exempt. But, should those leagued 435 9 | Majesty, even when it is exercised by one unworthy. A just 436 36(35)| rational choice which he exercises, it is fitting that in such 437 12 | power of making laws and exercising every other kind of right, 438 14 | opinions, and by always exerting themselves more strenuously 439 32 | the perverse-minded would exhibit less boldness, and would 440 40 | Apostle Paul, after having exhorted the Colossians to flee all 441 18 | we find Paul the Apostle exhorting the Corinthians with earnest 442 28 | herself to the fleeting exigencies of politics.
