Victor Emmanuel having abdicated in 1821, was succeeded by Carlo Felice, a bigoted Romanist. He published a decree for restricting the liberties of the Vaudois according to the terms of the edict of 1622. He also allowed a bull of Pope Gregory, which forbids "to those of the pretended reformed religion" the right of trading among the Romanists.
I'm afraid I can't! Monsieur, aren't you a Romanist?" "What is that?" said he, surprised. "A Papist, a Catholic!" "Ah!" he returned, sighing, "once I was bon Catholique, once in my gone youth; after then I was nothing but the poor man who bats for his life; now I am of the religion that shelters the stranger and binds up the broken poor." Monsieur was a diplomatist.
To be sure, the laws against recusants were not uniformly enforced; papistry in favourites and friends of the king was winked at, and the rich noblemen, who were able to pay fines, did not suffer much. But the fact remains that for the average gentleman to turn Romanist generally meant to drop out of the world.
Were every Romanist in Ireland at once to turn 'good Protestant, their political emancipation would be far off as ever. Protestantism everywhere, like Romanism everywhere, is 'a political system, and a wicked political system, for it regards only the exercise of power, and neglects utterly the duty of improvement. Religion is the curse of Ireland.
But he went away to foreign parts, I infer with flying colours; for every body loved the old Bishop, all Romanist and suspected Jacobite as he was. Then came that dreadful era of rebellion of which I have spoken, and we Tower Warders found that our holiday time was over.
As a Romanist, she found a holy consolation in that beautiful portion of her church's creed that admits of unceasing petition for the souls of the departed, even to the latest hour of earthly things. Winchester was the first to stir. Starting up, he appeared to be astonished at the situation in which he found himself; but a glance around told the whole truth.
At any rate, Bridget pronounced herself a Romanist, and was married by a priest of that Church according to its laws. Her family cast her off, and Nicholas would let us have no dealings with her. Poor Bridget! I trow she lived to rue the day; and the change of her faith was but a passing thing, for I know she returned to her old beliefs when time had allowed her to see things more clearly.
You are a Romanist, but I am a Huguenot, and have read. "Thou shall not kill!" it is written; and the penalty, "By man shall thy blood be shed!" But, "If you cause one of these little ones to offend, it were better for you that a mill-stone were hanged about your neck, and that you were cast into the depths of the sea." 'Mademoiselle, you are merciful, I muttered.
Lady Jane, once so sprightly and gay, had become a bigoted Romanist, who, with fanatical zeal, believed that she was serving God when she served the Church, and paid unreserved obedience to her priests. Lady Jane Douglas had therefore thanks to her fanaticism and the teachings of the priests become a complete dissembler.
"Yes, an excellent type one of my own countrymen. I like Ryan, a strong Romanist, isn't he?" "Yes, but finally I ran him down and told him I wanted enough cement to build a Protestant church." "But " "But, listen!
