A Drawn Battle between Infallibility and Invincibility WILHELM was no less an autocrat than Pius IX. In matters theological; the main dif- ference being that the Prussian kept within the boundaries fixed by the Treaty of Frankfort where- as the Roman claimed as much sovereignty in Germany as in China, Peru, or the papal states. Wilhelm ruled his Lutheran clergy after the man- ner of an enlightened and frequently benevolent despot. He saw to it that they all received an excellent education; for ...to him it was the school- master that made his army invincible. But school- master and clergyman, administrator and soldier, all equally felt the encircling pressure of an all highest power that said to them: " Your way must be my way or woe be to you!" And Prussia in general accepted that way as the best one for them; for it was the way of the 158 German Catholics 159 soldier and all other ways led to discussion and dissension, riot and revolution. For these reasons Wilhelm took no interest in the various efforts of his German Catholics to found independent congregations.
