Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Simony in the Christian Church, From the Beginning to the Death of Charlemagne (814) It is a well-known fact that in the long course of the history of the Church, there has never been a period when she was free from struggles. From the very day of her foundation till the present time she has been obliged to wage relentless war against internal and external foes. Her internal conflicts were brought about either by the failure of certain individuals to receive the complete body of her divine doctrine or by violations of the moral law over which she was appointed guardian. The two great moral evils at one time affecting the clergy were incontinency and simony. Ecclesiastical celibacy and its violations have been frequently and extensively written about; but it may be safely said that, up to the present day, simony has not received from historians the attention which it deserves. Yet its history throws considerable light on the vast problem of the relations between Church and State, as well as on the causes of the moral degeneracy of some members of the clergy. We have thought that perhaps it might not be altogether useless to present in the following pages a history of simony from the beginning of Christianity till the death of Charlemagne.
