"St. Puis X...'The day the Church signed her first concordat she committed the worst blunder in her history'"
"Cardinal Ferrata quoted St. PuisX as saying... 'The day the Church signed her first concordat she committed the worst blunder in her history... diplomatic corps... bishops became state employees... Gradually the mission of the teaching passed to the 'teaching state'... dogmas... the fateful direction... might have been reversed but for pontificate of Leo XIII... Cardinal Rampollo... liberal Cardinal Lavigerie... [who] batized the revolution of 1892." - Solange Strong Hertz, Beyond Politics
