Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
The Cardinal de Clermont-Tonnerre, who was on bad terms with the King's Government. He had protested loudly against the ordinance of the 16th of June 1828, touching the minor seminaries, concluding his letter to Monseigneur Feutrier, the Minister of Public Worship, with these words:
"My lord, the motto of my family, which it received from Calixtus II., in 1120, is: Etiamsi omnes, ego non. It is also that of my conscience.
"I have the honour to be, with the respectful consideration due to the King's minister,
"† A. J. CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF TOULOUSE."
In consequence of this letter, the King ordered the prelate to be prohibited from appearing at Court.
