118 23 | especially where universities, colleges and secondary schools are
119 14 | as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return
120 1 | this decline in religion. Coming to a different explanation,
121 4 | the proud man is urged and commanded by the teaching of Christ

142 6 | many and how grave are the consequences of ignorance in matters
143 1 | should not overlook other considerations, We are forced to agree

146 15 | to enter into most unjust contracts, to do business in dishonest

203 3 | not merely apparent good. Disordered by the stain of the first
204 7 | rests the obligation to dissipate this most pernicious ignorance
205 12 | the wise Pontiff rightly distinguishes between these two duties:
206 15 | people or in sparsely settled districts, but also among those in
207 24 | and the matter is to be divided in such a way that in the
208 3 | retains but little of that divinely implanted love of virtue

214 13 | earnestly exhort all present to dread and avoid vice and to practice
215 4 | light, "not of revelry and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness,
216 1 | mourn, and everyone that dwelleth in it shall languish."2 ~
217 2 | often happens only when the dying man is not so sinfully ignorant
218 13 | He should, in conclusion, earnestly exhort all present to dread
