It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
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.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
