67 | another

74 10 | way in which the law is applied. The Constitution lays down
75 7 | that the Government, by applying the laws in question, had

77 17 | formal cooperation, or of any approval whatever of the present

92 11 | some States, that the civil Authority, in granting the licence
93 15 | Church in Mexico, We must avail ourselves of those means
94 6 | ways that it would not be averse to coming to an agreement,
95 16 | forced to submit in order to avoid a greater evil. His behaviour,
96 3 | shortly before in writing, banishing repeatedly Our Representatives
97 4 | and from the land of your banishment you had to witness the struggles
98 | become
99 6 | oppressed, the Government now began to give indications in various

115 Ded | To our venerable brothers of Mexico,~the archbishops,
116 9 | country will be such as you build it up in the children.~
117 10 | and determined the sacred buildings and the territory to which
118 22 | Catholic laity, who, moved by burning zeal for religion and maintaining
119 15 | remedy to some extent the calamitous conditions that afflict
120 13 | again. To this We wish to call attention; for if some persons,
121 4 | worship, and at the same time called on the faithful to make
122 12 | reports and advices that came to Us either from the Hierarchy

126 12 | through Our Beloved Son the Cardinal Secretary of State, and
127 18 | Brethren, to enlighten them carefully and exactly. If, after you
128 16 | absolutely different is the case of one who yields to such
129 18 | it into practice should cause scandal to some of the faithful,
130 7 | regulations, much less of ceasing to combat them. It was merely
131 17 | We have said, to a total cessation of worship, and hence to
132 10 | faithful, in the State of Chiapas one for every 60,000, while

147 12 | iniquitous similarity of purpose conceive fresh ardour to stem the
148 1 | The concern and sorrow which We feel
149 13 | 13. Concerning, therefore the conduct to
150 23 | 23. We cannot conclude without turning in a very
151 15 | We have already said, and condemned by God for everything that
152 15 | some extent the calamitous conditions that afflict the Church
153 3 | that every State of the Confederation should determine the number
154 10 | Governors closed seminaries, confiscated canonries, and determined
155 12 | Delegate. In matters strictly connected with religion, it is undoubtedly
156 12 | obligation of obeying. In this connection We are anxious to recall
157 6 | from the priesthood, and in consequence from the very sources of
158 16 | greater evil. His behaviour, consequently, is not very different from
159 2 | the application of those constitutional statutes which the Holy
160 6 | Government; nevertheless, its continuation might have seriously prejudiced
161 8 | and faithful Catholics continued to be penalized and imprisoned,
162 10 | prescribes with the most evident contradiction that each State of the Federal
163 13 | circumstances have imagined contradictory judgments on the part of
164 21 | a duty and an honour to cooperate with the apostolate of the
165 15 | fear to think that one is cooperating with these iniquitous legislative
166 10 | this determination must correspond to the religious needs of
167 4 | the faithful, who at the cost of unheard-of sufferings

170 8 | faith were abandoned to the cruel vengeance of their adversaries.
171 10 | while in the State of Vera Cruz only one priest was assigned
172 17 | 17. In truth, the danger of formal cooperation, or
173 4 | faithful, amid a thousand dangers and at the risk of their
174 23 | Archangel, the twenty-ninth day of September in the year
175 11 | is, however, the explicit declaration, published in some States,
176 7 | Magistrate of Mexico publicly declared that the Government, by
177 13 | application of the unhappy decrees, different likewise must

185 14 | organizations professing to deny God.~
186 10 | as We have several times deplored, while proclaiming liberty
187 15 | iniquitously and impiously derogate from the rights of God and
188 2 | to condemn as seriously derogatory to the most elementary and
189 1 | Brethren, who are the more deserving of Our paternal regard because
190 20 | at times in producing the desired effects, but necessary and
191 8 | all know, Our wishes and desires were not followed by the
192 16 | obliged to ask his unjust despoiler for at least the use of

359 4 | these unjust and intolerant injunctions, which would have subjected

366 9 | that not only is religious instruction forbidden in the primary
