"Pope Gregory and Cardinal Lambruschini opposed basic technological innovations such as gas lighting and railways, believing that they would promote commerce and increase the power of the bourgeoisie, leading to demands for liberal reforms which would undermine the monarchical power of the Pope over central Italy. Gregory in fact banned railways in the Papal States, calling them chemins d'enfer (literally "ways of hell," a play on the French for railroad, chemin de fer, literally "iron road").

[muawiyah]

So? The guy was right. Commerce grew. The middle class rose. Garibaldi and Buongiovanni took over the Papal states, etc., and created ITALY.

Do you imagine it could have happened in any other way?

How scholarly.

And it does nothing to support the lies offered earlier.

You mean answers.com is not a friend of Christianity. Can you not find a more reputable site that trashes the Church?
