by William Arthur

[275] How strong this language was considered in Rome may be judged from what the Civiltá said of the Minister of Public Instruction, Signor Bonghi: "In the sitting of May 14, 1873, Bonghi, then a private member, dared to say, blaspheming like a true son of Lucifer, 'The Catholic Church has multiplied her dogmas too much'" (IX ix. 242).

[276] We have taken the outline of this sitting from the Acta Sanctæ Sedis, and in the filling up we have principally followed Friedrich.
