Pagina 77 - Austrian partizan : it is alleged that he was supplanted (early in the reign of Gregory XVI.) through Austrian influence. His favourite idea was the entire independence of the Pontifical State ; and therefore the circular to which I have referred is purely Italian.
Pagina 187 - Reforms — much praise given by anticipation for them : and extremely little clearly seen, as to what was necessary and how it was to be done, either by the Pope, or his Liberal flatterers.

Pagina vii - A great problem, of deep and lasting interest to the whole of Europe and of Christendom, has for some time been in process of solution in the Roman, or Papal States. ' This process has been, during the reign of the present Pope, greatly, and beyond all expectation, accelerated ; and it may now be said to be virtually complete, although the interposition of material force obstructs for the present its manifestation to the world. ' Its three principal stages, since the peace of 1815, have been as follows...
Pagina 17 - And Farini, in his dispassionate History, gives the following account of the state of things even under Pius VII.: — "There was no care for the cultivation of the people, no anxiety for public prosperity. Rome was a cesspool of corruption, of exemptions, and of privileges; a clergy, made up of fools and knaves, in power; the laity slaves; the treasury plundered by gangs of tax-farmers and spies; all the business of government consisted in prying into and punishing the notions, the expectations,...
Pagina 59 - Cardinal Bernetti, will found a new era for the subjects of his holiness, should, by means of internal guarantees, be placed beyond reach of the variations inherent in the nature of an elective government. II. In order to obtain this salutary end, which is of great consequence to Europe on account both of the geographical position and of the social condition of the Pontifical States, it appears indispensable that the organic declaration of his holiness should set out from two fundamental principles...
Pagina 77 - It dissolved the Municipal Councils nominated towards the end of 1831 ; it imprisoned and condemned those who had made efforts to resist their dissolution, and it turned the representative bodies into servile assemblages of needy, ignorant, and factious individuals. No person, who was in bad odour as a Liberal, (and in the estimation of the Sanfedists little was needed for the purpose,) could keep an office, whether under Government or Municipal, or could obtain one if he asked for it, or could represent...
Pagina 371 - to maintain intact our authority in matters that by their nature are related to the Catholic religion and its rule of morals. And this is due from us as a guaranty to the whole of Christendom, that, in the States of the Church reorganized in this new form, nothing shall be derogated from the liberties and rights of the Church herself, and of the Holy See, nor any precedent be established for violating the sacredness of the religion which it is our duty and mission to preach to the whole world, as...
Pagina 309 - ... time, the ancient institutions of their country, so as to render them more suitable to the gradual growth of intelligence and to the increasing diffusion of political knowledge; and Her Majesty's Government consider it to be an undeniable truth, that if an independent sovereign, in the exercise of his deliberate judgment, shall think fit to make within his dominions such improvements in the laws and institutions of his country as he may think conducive to the welfare of his people, no other Government...
Pagina 29 - ... civilizing laws which others, even though subjects of absolute monarchies, enjoyed ; and if they had not been accompanied with superfluous severities and acts of political injustice. But the people could not appreciate the good which in certain respects the government was effecting, because it still steered the vessel of state against the current of the age, for the advantage of a caste, sometimes of a clique.
Pagina 10 - Sanfcdisti, under Pius VII., is thus related, and commented on: — " The Pope formally condemned, and smote with an anathema, the sect of the Carbonari, which was spreading in the States of the Church, and the court of Rome allowed the formation of the hostile sect of the Sanfedists. " There had existed anciently a politico-religious association called the Pacifici, or the Santa Unione, which took for its motto EE the text of the Gospel, ' Beati pacifici quia filii Dei vocabuntttr,' and was sworn...
