Pope (1922-1939 : Pius XI) Encyclical letter of His Holiness Pius XI, by divine providence, Pope : to the patriarchs, primates, archbishops, bishops and other ordinaries, in peace and communion with the apostolic see, on offering prayer and expiation to the sacred heart of Jesus in the present distress of the human race. 1932 .txt text/plain 6379 129 43 As a fact the notion of the need of penance and expiation is lost in proportion as belief in God is weakened, and the idea of an original sin and of a first rebellion of man against God becomes confused and disappears.
