Abripere è Christianorum manibus Novum Testamentum, seu eis illud clausum tenere, auferendo eis modum illud intelligendi, est illis Christi os obturare. 85.

To snatch away the New Testament from the hands of Christians, or to keep it closed to them, amounts to closing the mouth of Christ to them by taking away from them that method of gaining knowledge. To interdict to Christians the reading of Holy Scripture, especially of the Gospel, is to interdict the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to endure a species of excommunication. To the ordinary reader it is not clear why the apostolic malediction hurled against some of these sentences must not, in good logic, be regarded as smiting this language which the fathers of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore included in their Pastoral Letter: "It can hardly be necessary for us to remind you, beloved brethren, that the most highly valued treasure of every family library, and the most frequently and lovingly made use of, should be the Holy Scriptures."
