Mirari Vos - On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism is a Papal Encyclical addressed "To All Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Catholic World" and is thus general in scope. The first encyclical issued by Gregory XVI, it is principally a denunciation of the doctrine of religious pluralism as dangerous for the souls of the faithful. It has subsequently been quoted in Papal denunciations of Freemasonry. It also voiced support for Christian freedom, upheld the ecclesiastical supremacy of the papacy and raised concerns over too close alliances between the clergy and government.
