Pius IX Pope Pius IX

“The civil liberty of every mode of worship, and full power given to all of openly and publicly manifesting their opinions and their ideas conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people... The Roman Pontiff cannot and ought not to reconcile himself or agree with, progress, liberalism and modern civilization.”

“Divine revelation is perfect and, therefore, it is not subject to continual and indefinite progress of human reason.”
