He embodied Belgian resistance to the occupying power. He sometimes became a focus of Allied Propaganda during the War. He was kept under house arrest by the Germans, and many priests who had read the letter aloud in public were arrested as well. Pope Benedict XV sent his portrait and a letter of whole-hearted support to Mercier in 1916, and a one point told him \"You saved the Church!\"
