The following is the full text of the Pope's Alloca- tlon :— ansasana Ban-units :—-Moro than once. 0 Vener- able brethren. cxeroising our apostolic office. we have deplored. either in our published lettcrs orin divers al- locations delivered in your most august assembly. the affliction which has hung for a long time in Italy over the affairs of our very holy rali ion, and the very rave insults offered to us and to the Ioly See by the an -Al- pino Government. Moreover. you mnut comprehend .vlfll what grief we are seissd. now that we see that 3" vcrumout. with a passion ll'ut‘ is increasing every dog. constantly attacking the Catholic Church. its who csome laws, and all its sacred ministers; when we see. alas! venerable bishops. and the most virtuous clergy. both secular and regular. and other most excellent .atholic citizens, sent into exile by that Government. without the least regard for religiougustlcc or humanity. or thrown into prison, or coudemuo to forced residence. molested in the moat unworthy manner; dioceses deprived of their pastors. to the great detriment of souls; vir ins devoted to God taken away from their convants an re» duced to be gary; God's temples violated; diocesan schools closei against the members of the clergy; the education of Catholic youths taken out of the pale cu Christian discipline. and confided to the professors 0 errors and iniquitics. and the patrimony of the Church usurped and sold. That same Government. in contempt of ecclesiastical cameras. and without paying the least regard to our most just complaints and those of our venerable brethren. the Bishops of Italy. has sanctioned similar laws. totally contrary to the Catholic Church. to its doctrines and its rights. and condemned by us; and it has not hesitated to promulgate a law respecting eivil marriage. as it is called—a law contrary not only to Catholic doctrine, but likewise to the well-being of civil society. Such a law tramplcs under foot the dignity and sacredncu of marriage. It destroys it as an insti- tution and encourages a concubinage that is erfeclly scandalous. In fact. a marriage cannot tn 0 place among the faithful without there being at the same time a sacrament. It belongs. therefore. exclusively to the Church to decide on everything concerning the sacra- ment of marriage. Moreover. that govcrnmont—mjurmg in an evident manner the condition of those who make ublic profession of religious vows which have always lied. and always will have. force in God‘s Church. and not recognizing the very great ad— vant e of' the regular orders. which. founded by men of holiness, and approved by the Holy A oatolic See. have in an especial manner deserved the i anks of the Christian republic. civil and literary, b so many lorions labors and so many useful wor s—has not cared to sanction a law suppressing throughout its entire territory all religions corporations of both sexes; it has appropriated all their property. and a great deal of other property belon lop to the Church. and has or- dered it. to be divided. Ito are entering into possession “‘"n" E'q' Time "in b. 8m“ {0' of the Venetian provmce. it did not hesitate to extend thereto the same laws. and it enjomed. contrary to all law and justice. the total abrogation and annihilation of the Convention which was to come between us and our very dear son in J esua Christ. Francis Joseph. Emperor of Austria. Therefore. faithful to the very serious duty of your apostolic ministry. we raise anew in our most august asaembl our voice on behalf of religion. of the Church. of its air laws. the ri ts belongin to this FALL a wifiim STOCK. 7 III!)

Proprietor. been decreed. done and attempted by tho sub-Al ine go- vernmtnt. and b our apostolic authority we a rogatc “.1 “acid”; pad and void, and without force or effect, all the aforesaid decrees, and everything that appertains to them. “’0 likewise beg their authors. who glory in the name of Christians, to bear in mind and seriously to consider that they have unfortunately incurred the censuros of and spiritual pains inflicted by the Apostolic Constitution and the decrees of the General Councils upon whosoever should attack the rights of the Church. You know. venerable breth- ren that certain astute men oppose us and interpret in their own sense the blessing which we gave to Italy, when assuredly without any merit of our own. but, thanks to the impenetrable judgment of God, we spontaneously pronounced the words of pardon and peace out of love for the people of the Pontifical State. In the truth, lull of soliciludo for the wel- fare and happiness of the entire flock, asking by our prayers from God the good of Italy. we bosrmght Him with fervor and humility that He might deliver her from the evil which afflicted her, and that the most precious gift of the Catholic faith might be all- poworful in Italy, and that the rectitude of manners. justice, charity. and all Christian virtues, mi ht flourish there more and more. Once more to- ay we do not cease to send up our most fervent prayers to God that in Ilia goodness He would deuigu to re- move from the Catholic people of Italy the many and great calamities of every kind which are afflicting and assailiag them through the fault of the govern- ors of Italy. and, in consequence of a multiform per- secution. But above all things, we beseech our most merciful Lord to aid and fortify by His heaven- lyliolp the people of Ital , in order that they may remain firm and immuta la in the divine faith and in their religion, and that they may be able with Christian fortitude to support and endure so many misfortunes and evils. Foolish, however, are those who, on the strength of this, do not eease to demand of as. already daspoilod. and with the most manifest injustice. of several provinces of our Pontifical ter- ritory, that we should renounce our civil sovereignty and that of the Apostolic See. Surely every one must see how unjust and prejudical to the Church is such a demand. By a singular arrangement of Divine Providence. as we have said on a former occasion. it happened that the Roman Empire hav- ing fallen and being divided into many kingdoms and divers states. the Roman PontifI.'in the midst of such great variety of kingdoms, and in the actual state of human society. was invested with his civil sov- orciguty, in consequence of which, never being sub- joct to any lay power, he exercises in entire liberty. supreme auf ority and his jurisdiction over theI Church, which has been divinely confided to him by' our Lord Jesus Christ. And the faithful, with full trauquilii y of ceosceience and entire confidence. obey- ing the decrees. warnings, and orders of the l’ontid. submit themselves thereto without ever entertaining the least suspicion that his acts are subject to the will or impulse of any Soverign or any civil power. We cannot renounce the civil power ostabliahed by the divine wisdom of Providence for the good of the universal church. We are bound. on the cen- trary, to that government and to! rotect the rights of that civil power. and to complain strongly of the sacrilegious usurptation of the provinces. of the Holy St. John, N. 3.. Oct. 31. 1066. See. as we have already done and as we do new, romonatratlug and protesting to the utmost of ottr’ power. Every one keows that the bieho of the Catholic world have never ceased to do lid with seal. orally and in writin . our civil aovera t and that of the Apostolic Size, and all have [11503: ed that that sovereignty. especially in thaaetaaleea- diiion of the affairs of the world is absolutely neces- sary to estabilish and defend the rfeot liberty of the Roman l’outifl who feeds the tholio deck—a liberty which is so intimately connected with the freedom of the entire church. These some men fear not even to go about crying everywhere that we ought to reconcile ourselves with Italy—that is to say. with the enemies of our holy religion who boast themselves of having founded Italy. But how can 'we. the appointed champions and defenders of our most holy religion and of the salutary doctrine 0‘ virtue and of justice, who have to watch for the salvation of all. march in concert with those who, not upholding the holy doctrine and refusing tohear the truth, keep themselves away from us 9—fhoaa who would never ccudescend to grant our ,desirae nor to meet our demands, to the effect that so many dioceses of Italy. deprived of the pastoral consolation and protection. should have their bishops. Would to heaven. that all those who so vehemently oppose the church. us. and this Apostolic See. turning their regards and their souls to truth and justice. may be enlightened once for all, and thinking for themselves and looking to the good of their souls. moved by O holy repentance. may endeavor to come back to us. “ Nothing would be more agreeable to us thus to go forward to meet them, following the axaple of our evangelical father, and to embrace them, rejoic- ing in the Lord that his children wen dead and an alive, again, that they were astray and have been found. Then, indeed. it would be seen that our ven- arable religion. the mother of the fruitful nurse of every virtue, and the scourge of vice. conducts equal- ly to the happiness of the individual and the welfare of all. Where religion and her wholesome doctrine prevail there must necessarily flourish uprightueae of manners intregrity. peace, justice, charity. and all the virtues. Then people are not afllictod with those grievious calamities which unhappin weigh upon wheresoever religion and its doctrines are not recognized. By the deplorable facts related sumo marily and witn pain. and by the sad contemporary events in Italy. everybody can easily see and divine to what perils this Apostolic Sea is exposed, and how it is the mark of the most,billcr threats of re- bellion. and the hatred of unbelievers, and the anger of the enemies of Christ’s cross. On every side are con tinually heard plirenziad voice, which find an echo, in ourdcsporato cuemies,declariug thatthis city of Rome must share in this unhappy Italian perturbation and rebellion-nay, must become its capital. But God who is rich in mercy. will. by his omnipotence, make the impious councils and desires of our enemies fail; He will never permit this noble city. so dear to us. in which, out of His great and singular goodness, 11o has lived the chair of Peter. the impregnable basis of his divine faith and religion. to return to that unfortunate condition so admirably described Chair “St. Peter; and with al our stren t we de- by °‘" boll "dwe’mri L00 “10 Gm‘. in Wbiell plore and condemn all and each of 1yin things which. 3119 IN“ tun“ "5'09 {9" “u a?“ lime. Ill! 1301] contrary to the Church. its laws am its rights. hsve prince of the apostles entered this city. than the, mistress of the world. As to us. ever. when do- prived of almost all human assistance, faithful still to our mission, and couflding absolutely in the aid of Almighty God, we are randy to combat without fear, oven to the peril of our life, for the cause of the Church divinely confided to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, and if need be to remove there where we shall be able to exercise in the best manner our supreme apostolic mission. And seeing that in must be prayer. we address ourselves to all the van- arable brothers and bishops of the entire Catholic clergy, and to all the children of the holy mother church, who have never ceased to lavish on us such striking evidences of love and respect. and come to our greatest trials and those of the Holy See; we bog of them more and more to offer constantly with faith, hope and charity, fervent prayers to God for the defeat of the enemies of the church and for their return to the path of salvation. “ For, to avail ourselves of the words of Chryaostom. pra -ar constitutes a powernt arm—a great security—a res treasure—an excellent harbor—4 very sure asylum — rovirled that. attentive and vigilant. we present our- ac vea before the Lord. the mind c llectcd. and without leaving any access to the enemy 0 our salvation. In the midst of the deep anguish that afflicts us. we have a great consolation—knowing that God. when His Church has no human support. effects marvellous pro- di les. which manifest most clearly Ilia omnipotence and Ike divine hand, and come to confirm this truth. that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church. which will always remain immovaahlc. triumphing over its enemies. until the consummation of time. But it ie exceedingly painful that it is not precisely determined that a nation shall always preserve t precious treasure of our divine faith and of our religion. In truth. there are many nations who_have ke t faithfully the deposit of the faith and the discipline 0 its manners; but. alas! they have been detached from the rock upon which rests whom has been given the power to confirm the brethren and to feed the lambs and the sheep. not agreeing amongst themselves. and enveloped in the darkness of error, they are in the greatest danger as to their salva- tion. And here we cannot abstain. by reason of our million. from adjuriug. in the name of our Lord. all so- vereigna and other governors of States. to examine once for all. and carefully to consider the my grave obligation they are under to endeavor that love and re. specs for religion should increase amongst nations. and with all their strength to prevent the torch of faith form being extinguished amongst them.
