Book Description
A concise sketch of the principal events, and slowly developing characteristics, which mark the rise, culmination, and decline of the Papal Regnum. Commencing with St. Peter, whose sojourn in Rome Dr. Griesinger, with most modern critics, holds highly problematical, he paints the forlorn condition of the first Christians in the eternal city, where, in honor of the gods of Latium, Christian blood flowed as water, or as it has since flowed to the cry of "heresy !" He shows us the rapid corruption of the church under imperial adoption, - the awakening lust of power in the episcopal breast; and how, under Constantine, Clovis, the Valois, the Hapsburgs, the modem Bourbons, - monarchical and priestly unrighteousness have gone hand in hand; and the "in hoc signo vinces" has been interpreted by succeeding despots as meaning the cross of St. Peter over the Vatican. He displays the many aspects under which papal greed was successively disguised, though so thin was the veil sometimes it could never have outlasted, but for the vast army of priestly sycophants so deeply interested in its preservation. This is a reproduction of a book published in 1864.
