Details |
Cartoon, Mumbo Jumbo. The Pope threatens Napoleon III, the French Emperor, with excommunication. An accompanying poem begins: 'Mumbo Jumbo was a Guy, Frightened people formerly, Now they think him all my eye, And laugh at Mumbo Jumbo.' The suggestion is that in past times the threat of excommunication was taken very seriously, but that in the modern world it carries much less weight.
