A people arose in the name of the Cross against the oppres- sion of the Crescent, and whilst men, stigmatised by you as unbelievers, ran from all parts, re-baptised to faith by the hope to conquer or die for that sign, you spoke not to that people a single word of comfort or benediction ! Another people, dear to the church for its faith, and for the long and bloody sacrifices which it has made for its sake— FROM THE POPE TO THE COUNCIL. 259 raised, in the name of its violated temples, destroyed... liberties, and abolished traditions, that national standard which once arrested the invading Mahometan under the walls of Vienna, and you — blessed its executioner ! And we, thrilling with the lofty idea of love, of equality, of liberty, arose saying : We will make of Italy an altar upon which we will join hands to pronounce the third Word of unity and life for humanity ; — Father bless and guide us ; — but you, having lost all understanding of the mission of humanity and of the providential scheme, through ages of prostitution with the princes of the earth, distrustful of yourself, of us, of the world, and of Providence itself, — drew back in terror.
