- Notes:
- An anti-Catholic cartoon map by Thomas Nast. The two arcs of Bernini's Colonnade in the square facing St. Peter's Basilica are shown as arms encircling the world, reflecting the caption: Grad All. "The End Justifies the Means." Below the cartoon is a quote from Ignaz von Döllinger, a German theologian who crusaded against the doctrine of papal infallibility: "Do you in the United States comprehend what that doctrine (the infallibility dogma) involves? . . . In a word, it is the assumption of power on the part of the Pope to proclaims a higher law which, according to the dogma, his children must obey, though such obedience involves treason to the State and the overthrow of your Government. . . . It can not and must not prevail."
