Firebrands be Warned.

β€žMost true it is that by far the larger part of the #Workers prefer to better themselves by honest labor rather than by doing any wrong to others. But there are not a few who are imbued with evil principles and eager for #RevolutionaryChange, whose main purpose is to stir up disorder and incite their fellows to acts of violence. The authority of the law should intervene to put restraint upon such firebrands, to save the working classes from being led astray by their maneuvers, and to protect lawful #Owners from spoliation.”

In paternal love, Yours Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci a. k. a. Leo XIII
