I would like to be told that someone had at least read the fragment I published yesterday. I realize that the title did not sound too exciting, but I would not have published it if I didn't think it was fun.
Thank you for the correction. What particularily upsets me is that I had gotten this "fact" from a cd series of lectures by a Notre Dame professor on the Papacy.
I hope this reaches you. I have now discovered that a previous Pope, Gregory XVI, did in fact refuse the idea of a railway system on the grounds that it would have been a disruptive influence on a rural society. But that was entirely theoretical talk; railways only began to seriously spread through Italy after Gregory XVI's death.
