This is probably best suited to the dedicated chatroom, but unfortunately I don’t have enough rep to enter it.
There’s a word that I don’t understand in a formal speech in a youtube video. The word is pronounced around at 1:06, and the URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrGhz_MOj4#t=1m6s Here is my transcript of the passage around it, with the word that I don’t get in boldface :
and yet it is permitted with perfect peace by the so-called fund-ries in Rome
The speaker is from Australia.

@BillyKerr so, it seems I misheard a -th- for an -f-, and that the speaker completely drops the -t- in his pronunciation – new_user – 2018-01-18T10:55:28.500
@new_user - Yes. Although to be fair it sounds like he's saying "thorities", but it's such a poor recording. However, the context makes it clear enough. You got the rest of it right in my opinion. – Billy Kerr – 2018-01-18T11:16:51.563
