Almighty tied nad in Prayer Faithful Asked. JSus IX, by Ditine Providence Pope, to all Patriarch, Primate, ArzhHsIwps, and Ihnhopi, and to other Local Ordinaries hating Favor and Communion with the Apotito.ital See. Venerable Brethren, Health and Apos tolical Benediction: Having regard to all the proceeding!! taken for many yearn past by the rjedmontese Government, with inces sant plots aiming at the overthrow of the Civil Principality granted by the singular providence of God to the Apostolio See, in order that the suooessors of blessed Peter might enjoy full liberty and security in the exercise of their spiritual jurisdiction, it is impossible, vane Table brethren, but that our inmost heart should be grieved at such a conspiracy against the Church of God and thin Holy See; and at this calamitous period, when the said Gov ernment, following the counsels of sects of perdition, has for a long time meditated a Kacrilegious invasion of our beloved city and of the remaining States, of which the do minion was left to us from the former usurpa tion, and has now carried that design into effect by force of arms against all law and right; whilst we, prostrate before Almighty God, adore his mysterious designs, and say with the prophet" "Ego plorans et ocutui incus deducens aquas, quia longe actus cut a me consolator, conccrtens animatn meain, J'acti sunt flii mei perditi quonvim invaluit inimicv. (Jerem., Thren. I., 10.) Venerable brethren, the history of this ne farious war has been sufficiently explained and published long ago to the whole Oatholia world. We have done it in our Encyclical Allocutions and Briefs delivered or dated at different times; namely, on the 1st of Novem ber, 1850, on the T2& January and 21 1th Juno, IBM, on the 18th and 28th June, and 2t;th September, 18.r.0, on the l'.tth January, W)' and in the Letters Apostolical, 2(th March, 18G0. Also in Allocutions of 28th Septem ber, 18(!0, 18th March and HOth September, 1861, 20th September, 17th October and ltth November, 1807. In this series of docu ments are viewed and explained the very grievous injuries inflicted by the Piedmon tese Government on the sovereign authority of tis and of this Apostolic See in the years prior to the commencement of the occupa tion of the ecclesiastical dominion, laws being enacted against natural, against di vine, and against ecclesiastical right; the ministers of religion, the religious com inani ties, and even the bishops themselves being subjected to unworthy vexations; the faith pledged to this Holy See in solemn treaties being forfeited, and the sacred obligations of those treaties being curtly repudiated at the very time when the said government was signifying its desire to conclude new treaties with us. In those documents, venerable brethren, it is evidenced, and posterity will see, with what arts and by what cunning and unworthy plots the said government has pone the length of overbearing justice and the sacrednees of the rights of this Apostolio See; and at the same time it will be known what exertions wo have made to restrain, so far as in us lay, such lawless conduct, that daily grew worse, and to defend the eause of the Church. You are well aware how in the year 18.r)) the chief cities of the JEuailia were stirred up to rebellion by the Pieduiontese authorities, who sent in writings, conspira tors, arms, and money; and how, not long afterwards, assemblies of the people having been convened, and suffrages having been taken, a pretended plebiscite was got up, and by that TRICKERY AND PRETENCE our provinces situate in that region were wrested from our paternal government, all good men in vain protesting against the act. You are also well acquainted with the fact that, during the year following, the said gov ernment made prey of other provinces situate in Picenum, in Umbria, and in the Patri mony, and turned them to its own profit, alleging crafty pretexts, andwith a large army attacked by surprise'ourtroops and the volunteer band of Catholio youths who, in duced by the spirit of religion and piety towards their common father, had hastened from all parts of the world to our defense, and routed them in a murderous battle, they being taken at unawares, yet fighting bravely for their religion to the last. Neither is any man ignorant of the extraor dinary insolence and hypocrisy of this Gov ernment, which, in order to extenuate the odium o( its sacrilegious usurpation, has not hesitated to give out that it had invaded those provinces to restore in them the prin ciples of moral order, whilst in reality it everywhere promoted the diffusion and culti vation of every false doctrine, and every where relaxed the restraints of lust and im piety; likewise inflicting undeserved penal ties on Catholio bishops and on ecclesias tics of every grade, whom it threw iato pri son and allowed to be harassed with publio insults, while at the same time it granted im punity to those persecutors, and even to the assailants of the Supreme Pontifical dignity in the person of our humility. It is, more over, true that we, in the due discharge of our office, have not only all along resisted reiterated counsels and demand ottered to us, to the effect that we should basely betray our duty, throwing over, forsooth, and surrendering the rights and possessions of the church, or entering into a sinful com promise witb the usurpers. Also, it is true that we have opposed to these wicked at. tempts and crimes so perpetrated contrary to all law, human and divine, protests before God and man ; and that we have declared their authors and abettors to be involved in Ecclesiastical censures, and as far as the caia required we inflicted anew those censures upon them. Lastly, it is a well-known fact that the aforesaid government has persisted, nevertheless, in its contumacy and its plots, and endeavored to stir up rebellion in our remaining provinces by sending in without intermission its emissaries to stir up trouble, and by artifices of every kind. But these attempts not succeeding, as wa expeoted, on account of the unshaken fidelity of our sol diers, and the love and affection of our people, which was remarkably and unwaver ingly manifested towards us, at last THAT FIERCE TEMPEST broke out against ns in the year 1807, when during the autumn bands of desperate men burning witb wickedness and rage, and aided by subsidies from the said government, in vaded our territories and this city, where many persons belonging to the same baniU bad already found entranoe and bad concealed themselves; and from their violence and cruelty and arms all fierce and bloody outrages were to be feared by us and by our beloved subjects, as was clearly evident pules? the merciful God had frustrated their attacks by the energy of our troops and by the effective aid of a force sent to us by the renowned Prencb sation. Jn bo many conflicts, in each a succession of perils, anxieties, and sorrows, Divine Pro vidence conferred on us meanwhile t!ie greatest consolation, venerable brethren, from the noble piety and zeal of yourselves and of your faithful flocks towards us and towards this Apostolio See, of which piety and zeal you continually gave signal proofs, by works of Catholio charity. And although the very grave dangers in which we were in volved left us scarcely any respite, yet with the help of God, we never relaxed our efforts to secure the temporal prosperity of our sub jects; and the state of public tranquillity and security under our rule, tne condition ot ail the best arts and sciences, 'And the loyalty and affection of our populations towards us were matters of notoriety to all nations, from whom stiangers continually came in cro wdi to this city; and especially on the occasions of the numeious solemnities which we celebrate, and at the times of the solemn festivals in their succession. And now.when things were in this posture, and our people enjoying peace and quietness, the Piedmontese King nud his government, seizing the opportunity when two of the most powerful nations of Europe were engaged in a great war, with one of which the said Government hao entered into a treaty to preserve inviolate the present stale of the Church's dominion, and not to allow it to be invaded by the revolutionists, all at once de termined to Invade the remaining territories of our dominion, and even our See itself, and roduce them under their power. Bat why this hostile invasion, and what pretexts were alleged for it? It is a matter of notoriety what kind of representations were made in the letter of the King to us, dated the 8th of September last, and delivered t us by his envoy commissioned for the pnrpose. In that letter, with lengthy and in sincere circuitousness of words and sen tences, under the assumed character of a loving son and a Catholio, and under the pretext for the preservation of publio order and of the security of the Papacy itself and of our person, the demand was made, that we would be pleased not to take as a hostile act the overthrow of our temporal power, and would surrender that power of our own ac cord in reliance on the futile promises made by himself, which, as ho said, would reconcile the aspirations of the peo ples of Italy with the sovereign rights and free exercise of the spiritual authority of the ltoman Pontiff. We in truth could not but greatly marvel at seeing in what manner the violence intended to be used shortly against us was attempted to be veiled and disguised, nor could we help deploring from our inmost soul the sad case of the said King, who, impelled by evil counsels, inflhts daily new wounds on the Church; and, having respect to men rather than to God, does not reflect that there is in the heavens A KINO OF KINGS and Lord of Lords, who doth not regard the person of any man, nor fear the greatness of any man, for He hath made both great and small; and that for the stronger there is but the stronger punishment (Wisdom, vi., 8-D) But as to the propositions made to us, we thought that we ought not to entertain them, but that we should obey the laws of duty and conscience, and imitate the example of our predecessors, and especially of Pius VII, of happy memory, the sentiments of whose uu conquered soul uttered by him in a cause completely similar to our own we hive plea sure in quoting: "Let us remember, with S. Ambrose (Do Bisil, trad. n. 17), that Nabuth, a h-ly man, and the pos sessor of a vlnejard of his own, was called upon by a rojal demand that he should make over his vine yard u at tne king might cut down the vines a'ld plant common potlurbs therein, and that he an swered, '(Jod forbid that I should sell tha inherit ance of my fathers.' Much more do we iudire that it would be unlawful for us to surrender so auslent and sacred an inheritance, namely, the temporal dominion of this Holy See, which not without the evident design of Divine Providence has been held In possession by the ltoman l'ontiil's our predeces sors through a long series of ages, or even to give a tacit asseit that any man should take possession of the chief city of the Catholic world, when the unset tlenient and abolition of the holiest form of govern ment which has been left by Jesus Christ to 11 is Holy Church, and has been ordained lv the sacred canons authorized by the spirit of Hod, would ln'roducu in its place that code, which is contrary and repuguaut not only to the sacred canons, but even to the precepts of the Oos pel, and would bring in, as is usually the caie, that new order of things which tends most, manifestly to mingle and confound all sects and superstitions wltti the Catholic Church. Nabuth defended his vines with his biooa (S. Ambrose, ibid.) Can wo do other wise, happen what may to us, than defend those rights and possessions of the iioly Roman Church, as we are la duty bound to do by the solemn obliga tion of our oath? Can we do otherwise than vindi cate the liberty of the Apostolic See which is so In timately connected with the liberty and welfare of the universal church? And how great in reality is the congrulty and necessity of this temporal princi pality to the assertion or that safe and tree exercise of the spiritual power grautedby God to them over the whole world, too many facts that are now taking place (khouhl other arguments be wanting) clearly demonstrate. (Letters Apostolic, J una 10, 18J9.)" Therefore, adhering to the sentiments which in many of our allocutions we have constantly professed, we reproved in our an swer to the King his unjust demands, and yet so as to show that, witb our bitter sorrow, was conjoined that fatherly affection which cannot wholly repel from its solicitude even' sons who imitate the rebellions Absalon. Bat this our letter bad not yet been conveyed to the King when the cities of our pontifical do minion, which were as yet untouched and at peace, were invaded by bis army, the garri sons whenever they attempted to make any resistance being eatily routed; and then in a short time that unhappy day dawned, the 20th of last September, on which we beheld this city, the see of the Prince of the Apos tles, TIIE CENTIiE OF TUE CATHOLIC RELIGION and the refuge of all nations, beset with thousands of armed men, its walls battered down and itself terror-stricken by the cannon shots bred upon it. And we hud to mourn over its capture vi ft armi by order of the man who just before had professed so strongly bis filial affection towards us, and bis fidelity to religion! What could be to us and to all good men more afflicting than that day? On it, when the troops entered the city, the city was filled with a large and promiscuous crowd of disorderly persons, and we immediately beheld public order overturned; we saw the dignity and sacredness of the Sovereign Pon tificate in the humility of our person in sulted with impious language; we beheld our very faithful troops treated with every kind of insult and license, and impudanoe let loose without restraint far and near, where but just before the filial affection was conspicuous of those who were en deavoring to alleviate the grief of a common Father. And ever since that day there have ensued before our own eyes thing? which cannot be mentioned without exciting the just indignation of all good iueu; wicked books btull'ed with lies, obscenity, and blas phemy bave beguu to be exposed for ready bale, and to be disseminated everywhere; a multiplicity of newspapers intended to cor rupt minds and morula bave been published, tending to insult and calumniate religion, and to influence pulio opinion against us and against this Apostolio See; foul and improper pictures are displayed openly, and other con trivances of the same kind, by which sacred persons and things are beld up to ridicule and exposed to publio derision, are exhibited; 1 honors and monuments are decreed to those who bave suffered by legal trial and sentence the just punishment of most heinous crimes; many ministers of the Church, against whom every species of odium is stirred up, are harassed with all kinds of insult, and some of them are stricken and wounded by THE BLOWS OP TREACHEROUS ASSASSINS some religious houses bave been subjected to illegal searcn; our yuirinal palaoes pave been broken into; and from his residence in one -of them a Iioman cardinal has been roughly thrust eut by violent orders; and other ecclesiastios of our household bave been shut out of their use, and subjected to molestation; laws and decrees bave beon put forth which avowedly injure and destroy the liberty, immunity, property, and lawful rights of the Church of God; and all these most terrible evils, unless God avert it, we grieve to see, are likely to progress; and we, mean while, are hindered by reason of our present position from applying any remedy, and are every day more rudely reminded of the cap tivity in which we are beld, and of the absenoe of that full liberty which is pretended in lying words to be left us for the exercise of our apostolio ministry over the world, and is professed to be meant to b secured to ns with safeguards (as they are called) by the intruding Government. We cannot here, venerable brethren, pass under silence the commission of an atrocious crime, which without doubt is known to you. As though the possessions and rights of the Apostolic See, sacred and inviolable by so many titles, and respected during so many centuries, could be to-day controverted audi disputed, and as though the grave censures which are incurred ipso facto and without fresh declarations from the violators of these rights and possessions could lose their force by rebellion and popular audacity, they bave bad recourse to cover the sacrilegious spo liation we bave suffered in spite of the com mon law of nature and of nations, they have had recourse (we say) to THE SHOW AND COMEDY OF A PLEBISCITE, already employed when the other provinces were robbed from us. And those who are in the habit of rejoicing in the worst actions did not blush to parade, as in triumph, through the towns of Italy rebellion and contempt of ecclesiastical censures, thus insulting the true sentiments of the great majority of Italians, whose religion and fidelity towards us and towards the Holy Church, foroibly repressed in all sorts of ways, cannot bave free course. As to ourselves, charged by God to rule and govern the whole house of Israel, and made the supreme defender of religion, of justice, and of the rights of the Church, in order that we be not reproached before God and before the Church for having been f Isilent, and for having by our silence con sented to this unjust revolution, renewing and confirming that which we have already declared in the allocutions, encyclicals, and briefs above mentioned, and recently in the protestation which, by our order and in our name, the Cardinal-Secretary of State com municated on the 20th of September to the ambassadors, ministers, and charges d'affaires of foreign nations accredited to us and to this Holy See, we declare anew before you, venerable brethren, with all possible so lemnity, that it is our intention, resolution, and will to retain in their integrity, intact and inviolable, all the dominions and rights of this Holy See, and so to transmit them to our successors; that ell usurpation of these rights, whether of a recent or of an earlier date, is unjust, violent, null, and void; and that the acts of the rebels and invaders, already accomplished or still to be accom plished, with the view of confirming in what ever manner this usurpation, are by us from this momnt condemned, annulled, quashed, and abrogated. 1 We moreover declare, and we protest before God and before the Catholio world, that WE ARE IN SUCH CAPTIVITY as to render it altogether impossible for us to exercise our pastoral authority with security, ease, and freedom. Finally, following the advice of St. Paul: "Quee participatio in juntitia; cum iniquitatef aut quat societaa luci act teneorasr qiue autem conventio UhnsUad Belial?" (2 Cor. vi., 14, 15) we announce and publicly and openly declare that, faithful to our office and to the solemn oath which binds us, we neither consent jior will consent to any project of conciliation which may in any manner whatever destroy or lessen our rights, which are the rights of God and of the Holy See; and we likewise profess that we are ready, thanks to the Divine assistance, and in spite of our great age, to drink to the dregs for the Church of Jesus Christ the chalice which be first deigned to drink for her, and that we will never co limit the fault of yielding to, or ac quiescing in, the unjust demands which are ad dressed to us. For, as our predecessor Pius VII said: "To do violence to this sovereign empire of the Apostolio See, to separate the temporal power from the spiritual, to disjoin, to tear asunder, and to out up by the roots the offices of pastor and of prince, is nothing else but to desire to ruin and destroy the work of God; nothing else but to labor for the greatest injury to religion; is nothing else but to deprive.it of a most efficacious bulwark, so that the supreme ruler, pastor, and vicar of God may not have it in his power to give to Catholics who. scattered all over the world, ask of him aid and succor, that help which they claim from his spiritual power, and which no one may hinder." But since our admonitions, expostulations, and protests bave been without effect, by the authority of Almighty God, of the holy Apos tles Peter and Paul, and by our own, we de clare to you, venerable brethren, and by you to the whole Church, that all those who bave perpetrated the invasion, usurpation, and oc cupation of any of the provinces of our do minion and of this our beloved city, or bave done any of these things, of whatever dignity they may be, and even though they should be worthy of most special mention; and in like manner all their agents, abettors, assistants, counsellors, adherents, and all others, either obtaining- the execution of those things, under whatever pretext or in whatever man ner, or executing them themselves; have in curred, according to the form and tenor of our letters apostolic, recited the 2oth of March, 1800, THE GREATER EXCOMMUNICATION, and the other censures and ecclesiastioa penalties published by the boly cauouo, apos tolio constitutions, and the decrees of gene, rul councils, and particularly of the Counci of Trent. (Sess. 22, O. II, de Reform. ) But, calling to mind that we bold on earth the place of hiui who came to seek and to save that which was lost, we desire nothing more ardently than to embrace with paternal love tbe wandering sons who may return to us; and, therefore, raising our hands to Heaven in the humility of our heart, remit ting and recommending to God the most just of causes, which is His still more than our own, we conjure and supplicate him, by the bowels of Ilia mercy, to aid us by Hid saooor, to aid His cburcb, and to bring about through His mercy and compassion that the enemies of tbe church, thinking upon THE ETERNAL DAMNATION which they are preparing for themselves, miy hasten to appease bis terrible justice before the day of vengeance, and to console by their conversion the affections of their holy mother tbe church, and our ttn grief. In order to obtain from the Divine mercy such special favors, we earnestly exhort you, venerable brethren, to join with our suppli cations your fervent prayers, and those of the faithful committed to your care; and going altogether to the foot of the throne of grace and mercy, let us engage the interces sion of tbe Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of God, and that of tbe blessed Apostles Peter and Paul. The Chorch of God from her beginning until our day hss often been la tribulation, and has often beea delivered. It Is she who often cries out, Sttpe rxpvgfiavtrvnt m a jutcniute mea, ttenim mmpolue ruiit tnihi. Hupra dor rum tneutn fabritavtrunt, pec cntortu, prolmuiaverunt invjuitatem tiiam, Neither to-day will the Lord allow the sceptre of sinners to determine the lot of the last, the arm of the Lord Is not shortened, nor unable to save. Without doubt he will deliver his spouse once again, his spouse whom he has purchased with his bleod, endowed with his spirit, adorned with bis heavenly gifts, and has also enriched with earthly gifts. (3. Hern., Bp. Conrad Keg. 44.) And now we ask of God from the bottom of our heart tbe abundant treasures of heavenly graces for you, venerable brethren, and for all the clergy and laity confided to the care of each of you, and as a pledge of our speoinl love for you, we affectionately grant to you from our inmost heart the apostolio benedic tion to you and to all the faithful, our well beloved sons.
