Pope Leo XIII's papal encyclical on the subject of Freemasonry in Italy, known both by its Italian incipit Italian: Dall'alto dell'Apostolico Seggio and its Latin incipit Latin: Ab apostolici Solii celsitudine, was a promulgated on 15 October 1890.[1]
It dealt with Freemasonry in Italy, condemning the contemporary course of public affairs in Italy as the realization of the "Masonic programme". This "programme" was said to involve a "deadly hatred of the Church", the abolition of religious instruction in schools and the absolute independence of civil society from clerical influence.[2]
