It is, therefore, by a particular decree of Divine Providence that, at the fall of the Roman Empire and its partition into separate kingdoms,
the Roman Pontiff, whom Christ made the head and center of his entire Church, acquired civil power.

- Pius IX, Apostolic Letter Cum Catholica Ecclesia, March 26, 1860.

The purpose of the separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the turmoil that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.

- James Madison
