Strossmayer ; hut in 1872 the Bishop addressed to the Francis a letter in which he says : — •' Latterly several liberal, or rather self-called liberal papers, have pub- lished a pretended speech, supposed to have been made by myself at the Vatican Council. I resolutely and absolutely deny ever having made any such discourse. I never said a word during the entire Coun- cil which could in any way dimi|iish the authority of the Holy See, or tend to promote discord in the Church.''
