Churcb Department VI I?. of Rom presents to th world a lino of alleged superior bishop extending from Linus in the first century to the present reigning pontiff of Rom (Plus XI), snd claims for this line of men that they have been vicars of Christ, vicegerents of God on earth, bishops of the whole church of Christ This line of men. It ta claimed, are the successors to th apostle St. Peter to hta doctrine, to hta Jurisdiction, to Ms orders, to hta misoffision Infallible In defining cially matters of faith and morals Very well: We have the right to Inquire Into this tremendous claim to ses if It be true; as also to Inquire as to whether or not this line of men ban with reasonable uniformity reflected the spirit of the Christ's government estabNo one lished In hta church. can dispute that right or duty. From my esrlleet reading in ecclesiastical history 1 have been impressed with the Incident culof humiliation minating In th Emperor Henry 1Y of Germany at the feet of Pope Gregory VII (Hildebrand), early In the eleventh century, as marking off at once th extravagance of th claims of tha Roman church for her popes, end th climax of the papal power over th monarch of th world. For this reason I give the case hare as sxhibltlng th spirit of tbe papacy. SUPREMACY OF THE FAPACT. On hta side In tho controversy th pop ssssmbtad tho third Council. A. D. 107. Th smpsror Henry wen placed under absolved Interdict, hta subject from allegiance, and ho was deposed from hta throne. A series of constitutions, clearly defining th bases of the papal system was proclaimed by the council to the following effect: That the Roman pontiff can alone be called universal (that tain rule snd in authority); that he alone has a right to depose, bishop In a general council, that he can depose absent prelates; that he alone has a right to use imperial ornaments; that princes are bound to kiss his feet, and hta only; that he has a right to depose emperors; that no synod or council summoned without hta commission can be called general; that no book can be called canonical without hi authority; that hta sentence can be annulled by none, but that he may annul the decrees of all; that tbs Roman church has been, ta, and will continue to be Infallible, that whoever dissents from it ceases to be a Catholic Christian, and that subjects may be absolved from their allegiance to wicked princes (Intellectual Development of Europe, John Wm. Draper, voL II, p. 18.) The struggle between pop and emperor was long drawn out and hard; but after many Intrigues to draw th Normans over to him, the monarch was compelled to submit to tha pops In the depth of winter th emperor crossed tbe underJgreftthardshlps to eeek absolution from hta great adteraary. IIU humiliation at the feet of the pops Is described In a not In my old text book on General History designed for colleges. Andersons General History). The brief note there la one quoted from Sir John Stephen' on Ecclesiastical Biography: Essays "It was the fourth day on which h (Henry IV), had borne the humiliating garb of an affected penitent, and in that sordid raiment he drew near on hla bar feet to the more than Imperial of the church, and prostratedmajesty himself, in more than servile deference, before the diminutive and emaciated old man, from the terrible glance of whose countenance we are told, the eye of every recoiled as from the lightning Hunger, cold, nakand edness, shame, bad, for the moment, crushed the gallant apirlt of tbsrsufferer. He went end cried fijrrnercy. agaln and again renewhi entreaties until he had ing reached the lowest level of abasement to which hta own enfeebled heart or tije haughtiness of his great antagonist, could depress him. Then, and not till then, did the pope condescend to revoke the anathema of the Vatican. In the presence of this Incident in the story of the papacy, what think you of its spirit? How well does It manifest or reflect those principles of the Christ we have noted ? Or St. Peters "taking over sight of th flock of God, but "neither as being lords over Gods heritage? "Oh yea; I shall be told, but this Is but a single case. "I as welt ss Baronius, Bellarmln, and other catholic writers, says ths Right Rev. John Milner, In his The End of Religious Controversy (p. 233), have unequivocally admitted that some few of our popes have disgraced themselves by their crimes, and given Just cause of scandal to Christendom; but I have remarked," be continues, "that the credit of our cause ta not affected by tho personal conduct of particular pastors who regularly succeeded on another." Such Is the position taken by Catholic protagonists now. It 1s repeated always In controversy by some with emphasis on th them, , 0f 0ur popes,' etc. Of course the case before uy of Gregory VII and Henry IV, is not so much a case of morals as It ta of pride, ambition and of ftrrce vindictive-ne- a in the ruler of the church at the height of Its power; and no une may deny that it exhibits the ' spirit of papacy at the height ef Ita splendor and attained ambition over prince of this world; and it marks off a wide departure from the iplrlt of the Chrlst and of hta "kingdom or aven."antf c( 8t Peter'a apirlt of church government. And Gregory VII waa a pope, one of the vicars of Christ, Gods vtceregent on earth! Was he?

Tho sentiment of reverence for the sovereign pontiXC nay, even ot respect, bad become extinct in Rome: throughout Europe tbe clergy were ao shocked at the state of things, that, in their indignation, they began In-to look with approbation on tbe tention ot the Emperor Otho to take from the Italian their privilege of appointing th successor ot St Peter, and confine it tq hta own family. But hla kinsman, Gregory V. whom he placed on the pontifical throne, was very soon fly: compelled by the Romans to relihis excommunications and were into turned thunder gious derision by them; they were too welt acquainted with the true nature of those terrors; they were living behind th scenes.

Of thta pontltf, one ot hta successors, Victor III. deao shameclared that hta ful, so foul, ao ex durable, that be shuddered to describe It. He ruled Ilk a captain of banditti ratbar than a prelate. The people at last, unable to bear hta adulteries. homlddea and abomination any longer, roe against him. In despair of maintaining bis position, b put up the papacy to auction. It waa bought by a presbyter named John, who became Gregory VI, A. D. 1945. "Mor than a thousand years had elapsed since th birth of our Savior, and such waa the condition of Rome! Well may the historian shut the annals of those times In disgust; well may tbe heart of tbe Christian sink within him at such a catalogue of hideous Crimea Well may he ask. Where these the vicegerents of God upon earth those who had truly reached that goal beyond which the last effort of human wickedness cannot pans 7" And I submit to you this question: Were these men the successors of the apostles with whom Jesus declared hta intention to be with even to the end of the world ?" On this quotation for It ta a quotation I only offer the following reflections. Is It not dif cult to reconcile ones mind to the thought that these men who ruled in the Roman catholic church. Intermittently yet within three cenot turies, wers ths vicegerents God on earth? Or that through dia a divine authority and them vine mission has been transmitted to later and happier times? To do to one would be under the necessity of maintaining that no amount of immorality, however lnfamoua can possibly disqualify men from acting aa Gods representative. And each a position would be conto all the evidence of scrip-turtrary as well as revolting to sound reason. THE WHY OF A QUOTATION wine-blqdd- er life-w- On the matter of th above review of the papacy being a quotation: I preferred to make tbe a quotation in order to free it from several otherwise objections It might thought that If made by myself it would ' e prejudiced by my personal view; and, frankly, had I drawn the Indictment of the line of popes from the materials the facts under my hand it would have been much more severe, for several important and damning incidents and circumstances are omitted in the period of time covered. But I preferred to quote It, and let It stand as It is, for in all it Is severe enough, by a condescending gesture of admission to the effect that the crimes of "some few the popes ought not to affect credit of the cause of the Roman papacy. The stern voice of God delivered by hta servant St. John and as directed by the revelation of God to him, and after this line of popes had been, aa ta supposed, commenced at Rome the stern voice of God said to the church at Ephesus the church founded by St- - Paul "I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou are fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come reunto the quickly and will mora thy candlestick out of hta ). That te, desplace."
