I say no more to you. Remain in the holy and sweet grace of God. Sweet Jesus, Jesus Love. TO URBAN VI By this time Catherine has evidently more than an inkling of the character of the man she is addressing. Gregory had been, if anything, only too susceptible to influences from varying quarters : Urban's arbitrary and headstrong nature resented any interference. He was making extraordinary blunders in tact and policy ; but woe to the audacious person who sought to point them out ! Catherine's le...tters to this new Pope, if less familiarly affec- tionate than those to the old, show the same amazing combina- tion of candour and reverence. True to her constant principles in the interpretation of character, she insists on putting the best possible construction on his actions, ascribing his im- patient vehemence and bad temper to a noble and partially impersonal cause. One suspects that Urban had lost his temper with poor Fra Bartolomeo because the friar had used too great freedom of speech rather than too little, as Catherine suggests.
