Description
Excerpt from The Final Reliques of Father Prout (the Rev. Francis Mahony)
Sixteenth''s. Like Erasmus. And Savonarola, who never broke thoroughly with their old Church, he would stand by her, with all her faults, to the last; but he would not seek to reform her abuses in an ultra-puritan spirit with the one, but laugh her into common sense with the other. The great value of the letters, written during the closing days of Gregory the Sixteenth''s régime, is that they enable the reader to understand the significance of the Opening of Pio N ono''s reign. Austrian diplomacy, representing an imperious despotism, second to none other on earth, ruled the Vatican during the former epoch, whilst a generous spirit of reform and patriotism inspired it during the latter.
