Papal Temporal Power and the Guarantee of Europe

In the Independent of February 14, a writer on “Vatican and Quirinal” says that “the pope desires to have the temporal power guaranteed by the great nations of Europe, holding that the guarantee of Italy would not be sufficient in the future, as it was not sufficient for his protection in the past.” He will get this for “an hour,” and then these nations will turn and literally devour the whole wicked system. What the pope thinks will be the salvation of the papacy, will be the surest token of her complete and final ruin.
