Abstract
Rome ever looks for a complete restoration of its might and power. Although the 19th century marked the dissolution of the papal states (l870 ), and thus put an end to the pope's hopes and aspirations for a complete restoration of temporal power, still we see an increase in the spiritual power which makes up for the diminution in temporal authority. As Dr. Graebner remarks in the above-quoted article, the principles and aims of the popes of the 19th century did not differ from the aims of the medieval popes, but agreed in all respects, since all popes tried to secure a firm hold on the consciences of the people subject to their jurisdiction.
