Here in Rome you have active enemies--not on our side, not on the Liberal side, you know!--who are scheming to ruin you completely, to rob you of your reputation and everything.

If you wish to know my opinion exactly, I will tell you that I think, from a Catholic point of view, they are right.

I modify somewhat, for my use and for theirs, the famous motto of the Jesuits, _'Aut sint ut sunt,'_ and I make it, _'Aut non erunt.'_ They tell me you are a Liberal Catholic.
That simply means that you are not a Catholic.

But let us proceed.

Your enemies have denounced you to the Public Prosecutor, and it would be our duty to send the _carabinieri_ to arrest Signor Pietro Maironi, condemned, in his absence, by the Assize Court at Brescia, for having failed to serve on a jury when summoned.
