Italian term or phrase: mercé

Don Bosco rileva che anche certi cattolici «appoggiavano questa asserzione sopra l’emancipazione degli ebrei e dei protestanti, cui mercé si pretendeva non esservi più distinzione tra cattolici e le altre credenze. Ciò era vero in politica, ma non in fatto di religione».
Don Bosco finds that certain Catholics also "supported this assertion regarding Jewish and Protestant emancipation which professed no more distinction between the Catholic faith and other beliefs. That was true in politics, but not in affairs of religion".
