In realtà molti cattolici avevano fin d’allora un’idea abbastanza equilibrata circa il potere temporale la Chiesa: essa, attraverso l’autonomia economica e politica, doveva rimanere affrancata da qualunque altro potere per svolgere il suo ministero universale.
At that time in fact, many Catholics ... the temporal power the Church: (in that) it, through economic and political autonomy, had remained free of any other power in order to carry out its universal ministry.
