What after all is the infallibility of the Pope, but the auto- cracy of intelligence, confirmed by the universal vote of faith? In this case, one might say, the Pope ought to be the first genius of his century. Why? It is more proper, in reality, that he should be an average man. His supremacy is only more divine for that, because it is in a way more human. Do not ev…
