Father Gavazzi's Lectures in New York, Reported in Full by T. C. Leland, Phonographer: Also, the Life of Father Gavazzi, Corrected and Authorized by Himself (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Father Gavazzi's Lectures in New York, Reported in Full by T. C. Leland, Phonographer: Also, the Life of Father Gavazzi, Corrected and Authorized by Himself This sketch of Father Gavazzi's life and career seemed to be called for from the interest excited by him, during his short stay in New York. It will likewise be necessary for those who have not followed his lectures, to explain the nature of his mission and the motives which actuate him. Gavazzi, a man of liberal feelings and generous impulses, from his earliest years, deeply felt the state of bondage both social and yr political, in which the Italians were kept. Actuated by these feelings, he strove to discover the cause, and soon, came to the conclusion, that the ignorance in which the people were kept, the bigotry and superstition in which they were encouraged, were the causes of their social and political debasement. Profoundly versed in the various systems of the Church of Rome, Gavazzi soon discovered its falsehood, its utter want of principle, its culpable indulgence, its cowardly threats - he saw that through this deceitful code, miscalled religion, the people were ignorant, voluptuaries were maintained in a position to insure the temporal and despotic power of those who governed them, he knew that instead of seeking to civilize and enlighten, the Priests sought to mislead and enslave. This conviction led Gavazzi to another, namely, that a religion entailing such consequences, could not be the religion of God; he studied the scriptures, he beheld the truth and he proclaimed it. The regeneration of Italy is his object, to give the people confidence in themselves, in Heaven, and not in their priests, to instruct them, to civilize, that they may rise and claim the right of every individual, liberty of conscience and freedom of action.
