Excerpt from Atheneum, or Spirit of the English Magazines, Vol. 11: April to October, 1822

The Pope's benediction this day, the Italians say, extends all over the world, but on Thursday it only goes to the gates of Rome. On Thursday too, previously to the benediction, one of the Cardinals curses all Jews, Turks, and heretics, by bell, book, and can dle.' The little bell is rung, the curse is sung from the book, and the lighted taper thrown down among the people. The Pope's benediction immediately follows upon all true believers.
