Cum primum, subtitled On Civil Disobedience, is an encyclical issued by Pope Gregory XVI on June 9, 1832.[1] The encyclical is addressed to the episcopate of the Kingdom of Poland and is primarily a condemnation of the November Uprising: the Pontiff condemns the revolts, reminding Polish Catholics that legitimate authorities derive their power from God and cannot be disobeyed, unless they violate the law of God by their acts.[2]
