G. S. Godkin wrote the following about Leo XII, who succeeded Pius VII in 1823. • “In his insensate rage against progress he stopped vaccination; consequently, small-pox devastated the Roman provinces during his reign,. He curtailed the old privileges of the municipalities, granted new privileges to the religious communities, and enlarged the power of the clergy to the extent that bishops and cardinals had the power of life and death in their hands. He set the Inquisition to work with new vigor; and though torture had been nominally abolished in 1815, new kinds of torment were invented, quite as effectual as the cord, the thumbscrew, and the rack of old times. He renewed the persecution of the Jews; drove them back into the Ghetto from whence they had begun to emerge, rebuilt its walls, and had them locked in at night; and issued an edict ordering all Israelites to sell their goods within a given time on pain of confiscation." • When Pius IX was elected pope in 1846, one of his first acts was to grant an amnesty to more than 2,000 political prisoners BC -0- AD Evening-Morning Period = 2400 yrs 1866 534 BC 1866-1870 saw the downfall of the temporal power of the pope
