 | | Franciszek Hodur, unsuccessfully petitioned the Vatican for concessions in these areas but was excommunicated by his bishop in 1898, and then organized the PNCC. | | | This attitude became more entrenched as the West Europeans, far from seeking to reassure the PNCC that its traditional views were respected, began to insist on pursuing other innovations without even a semblance of consultation. | | | In light of their own conduct, the West Europeans realized that they would look ridiculous if they invoked one or more of these. |

| | Although no conclusion ever came to the case, the archbishop was suspended from the exercise of his office and remained under suspension until his death in 1710. | | | In the aftermath of the council, protest movements arose among liberal Catholic laity and clergy (and notably among academics and seminary professors), especially in Germany and Switzerland, who for nearly two decades had criticized Pius IX’s increasingly intransigent opposition to most manifestations of nineteenth-century liberal thought. | | | From the 1640s onward the papacy repeatedly condemned Jansenist ideas, finally and most comprehensively in the 1713 bull Unigenitus, but Jansenism continued to find adherents in France and elsewhere who attacked the authority of the papacy to condemn their ideas. |

| | But even if one should consider consequences first, consider how cruel it would be if a province which had been shamefully attacked were deserted by the rest and yet not permitted to avenge its own injuries. | | | When, however, the power of the later Counts increased, these rights of independent action were gradually curtailed by the Counts, influence, by fraud, and even by force. | | | I may say by way of parenthesis that his inclusion of religion vitiates his argument since the articles of the Union clearly left the question of religion wholly in the hands of the several provinces; however, that is not the question now at issue. |
