From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qui Pluribus - On Faith And Religion was a Papal Encyclical promulgated by Pius IX.<ref name="quiplur">Qui Pluribus</ref>

It attacked the belief that reason should be put above faith. It singled out the free gift of anti-Catholic Bibles. Its coupling of political liberalism and religious indifferntism is seen as a condemnation of the Italian Carbonari in particular and Freemasonry in general.<ref name="mcinvale">"While not mentioning Masonry directly, it criticizes those it does not identify for those same faults that the previous papal pronouncements imputed to Freemasonry, and is regarded as an anti-Masonic pronouncement by some Catholic sources." ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH LAW REGARDING FREEMASONRY by REID McINVALE, Texas Lodge of Research</ref>
