You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
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.
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.
