(Latin: it is not expedient)

A decree of the Sacred Penitentiary, February 29, 1868, forbidding Italian Catholics to take part in parliamentary elections lest their participation be interpreted as an approval of the spoliation of the Holy See. This policy was continued under Pope Leo XIII, but was modified by Pope Pius X, June 11, 1905, in the Encyclical "Certum Consilium."
