Italy is still preeminently a land of faith and fervour. Invasions,
secret societies, revolutions, and persecutions have done their
worst to make it otherwise during the past hundred years. Writers
of books of travel, newspaper correspondents, and others who cater
for the prevailing anti-Catholic prejudices of the majority of
those who speak the English language, generally represent it as
having grown at least indifferent, if not worse, under these
trials. But the truth is that at no past period of its Christian
history were the mass of the inhabitants of the country more
attached to their religion, more firmly fixed in its principles, or
more devoted to its practices than at the present moment. The
writer of the following pages upon one of the most beautiful and
useful manifestations of the faith of Italy, has had ample
opportunity of witnessing what he here asserts. He visited that
country for the first time early in the spring of the past year;
and he confesses, he was prepared to see everywhere a great decay
of religion in a nation where the Church had been universally
plundered, where the Supreme Pontiff was dethroned and imprisoned,
where the religious orders were suppressed, where the public
observance of the Lord's Day and of many Christian practices had
been legally abolished, where the recognition of Catholicity by the
State was made a cruel farce, and where, in fine, the most
formidable atheism the world has ever seen was, with supreme
political power in its hands, astutely planning the eradication of
Christianity from the social, political, and even individual life
of the people.
