Dr. Cumming's Remark on the Papal Blessing

Dr. Cumming of London, says: If the Pope should offer him the papal blessing, he would ask his Holiness to invert it and give him the papal curse, hot and heavy, instead. This is a severe comment upon the remarkable blessing that has attended the pope’s curses for a long time past. He does not have the wisdom even of Balaam, but goes on hurling his anathemas, right and left, as if they could do any one any possible harm. The king of Italy appears to thrive under them, and so do many others.
