To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In protestant lands we can smile at the anathemas of an apostate church. We feel that they are but a breath of empty air, and we treat them with that contempt they deserve. Let those lands but once become popish, and be reduced to the situation of oppressed and priest-ridden Italy or Spain, and the people must obey these decrees, and treat them with the respect they challenge, or endure the conse- quences. What those consequences are at " Rome in the nineteenth century, " we learn from a forcib...le and accurate writer. " If every true-born Italian, man, woman and child, within the Pope's domin- ions, does not confess and receive the communion at least once a year, before Easter, his name is posted up in the parish church ; if he still refrain, he is exhorted, entreated, and otherwise tormented ; and if he persist in his contumacy, he is excommunicated, which is a very good joke to us, but none at all to an Italian, since it involves the loss of civil rights, and perhaps of liberty and property.
