In Italy during the first half of the 19th century, Arthur, a student at a seminary, joined the revolutionary society “Young Italy.” His sincere faith in God compelled him to reveal the society’s secret during confession to his new confessor. However, the confessor denounced the society, leading to the arrest of its members.
