Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Correspondence Respecting the Relations Existing Between Foreign Governments and the Court of Rome
The State wishing in a general sense to respect the independence of the Church, must consequently also place her in a position so as to enable her to form this judgment independently. The State cannot, therefore, permit any teacher of the Catholic religion or of theology, to teach at public establishments, if he be not thereto authorized by the Church. Only upon such a basis can confidence be established between the State and the Church in matters of public instruction, and such a good under standing be effected as is necessary for the furtherance of the object which both have in View. Guided by these ideas, the Undersigned, with profound humility, now begs leave to enter upon an examination of the special propositions and wishes of the bishops.
