You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
Let no one misunderstand my words—let no one confound Popery with Christianity—the Religion of Liberty with the avaricious and sanguinary Politics of Slavery.
I love and venerate the religion of Christ, because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery, for which God has not created it.
It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
