It is to be hoped that he will, as soon as may be, commence the work of raising the Neapolitan people out of some of the absurd superstitions which have always kept them in ignorance, and made them the serfs of juggling priests.

More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
But the Pope, who wishes all men to be slaves—who demands, of the powerful of the earth, fetters and chains for Italians—the Pope-king does not know Christ: he lies to his religion.
This stupendous page of our history must be followed by one more glorious still; and the slave will finally show to the free brother a sharpened iron which belonged to the links of his chains.
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.
