...formerly was undertaken by the lecturer on the platform, has been in part responsible for the industrious atmosphere of the Reading Room. It has not been possible in every case for the head of the course to slice two periods of two to three weeks each from the accustomed syllabus. It has thus become necessary that the reading period complement the preceding lectures in finishing up the normal demands of the syllabus. What was hailed as a period of freedom for the pursuit of individual interests in a particular field, has been widely distorted in many courses...
...entered his fold. True that Catholicism because of the very tolerance Voltaire had preached was spreading into Protestant countries. But Pius saw greedy eyes cast at the Papal lands. He, too, must cut the figure of a ruler, intimidate the Kings and Emperors. In 1864 he issued his famed Syllabus Errorum which declared all current naturalism and rationalism error, and put the papacy in opposition to the leading principles of modern civilization.

...recent encyclical has not been issued "ex cathedra" and hence is not to be regarded as "infallible," which means that there is nothing to prevent the revision of its chief positions in the future. Moreover, just as in the years following 1864 leading Romanists assured the world that the Syllabus taken at its face value was misleading and that the pope did not really mean what the seems to say, so it may be that some further interpretation of the recent letter will appear which will give it, in the eyes of non-Romanists, something less of the appearance...
