Qui Pluribus - (On Faith And Religion) was an encyclical promulgated by Pope Pius IX in 1846. It disputed the belief that reason should be put above faith.
It singled out the free gift of anti-Catholic Bibles. Its coupling of political liberalism and religious indifferentism is seen as a condemnation of the Italian Carbonari in particular and Freemasonry in general but it did not mention Freemasonry directly.
