More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
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.
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.
It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
