He also fought against the free movements in the church and wrote the state pamphlets in the Cologne bishops' dispute with Prussia. He was therefore very hateful, especially in the Papal States , and because of his lust for power, the Cardinals also did not vote him in conclave by Gregory XVI. Death in 1846. With Pius' IX.
