Legatine address of Reginald Cardinal Pole at the
opening of the Council of Trent, 1546.
Before the tribunal of God's mercy we, the shepherds,
should make ourselves responsible for all the evils now burdening the flock of
Christ. The sins of all we should take upon ourselves, not in generosity but in
justice; because the truth is that of these evils we are in great part the
cause, and therefore we should implore the divine mercy through Jesus Christ.
