Excerpt from The Victories of Rome and the Temporal Monarchy of the Church

It is now some thirty-four years since the Victories of Rome first appeared. Two or three editions were issued at intervals, the last in 1893, and for some time the pamphlet has been out of print. As a member of the League of St. Sebastian, I have always felt bound to strive to uphold the Cause of the Temporal Power by lectures, sermons, writings, and other laudable if humble means.

Recent events have drawn attention to the subject, and have roused anew considerable interest in the present position of the Holy See. It becomes apparent that the prolonged silence of some did not arise from indifference, while the demeanour of many convincingly proves that Father Faber's warning was almost prophetic, when he preached that the salvation of not a few would come to depend in these days upon their devotion to the Church and the Pope.
