"To restore all things 149 5 | being made on the peaceful conquests of the Church. The sadness 150 1 | beginning of Our Pontificate to consecrate all the energy which the 151 25 | mature deliberation, with the consent of his Bishop, and then 152 4 | although they flow as a natural consequence from her divine mission. 153 4 | of things, the Church has consequently become the guardian and 154 10 | goal, it is important to consider at this point the conditions 155 20 | must also be taken into consideration.

If this is the case, the 158 19 | offices with the firm and constant resolution of promoting 159 11 | restore all things in Christ, constitutes a real apostolate for the 160 17 | civil rights which modern constitutions today offer all, and therefore 161 27 | mind.
