A General History of the Christian Era, Vol. 1

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A General History of the Christian Era, Vol. 1: For Catholic Colleges and Reading Circles, and for Self-Instruction the Papacy and the Empire In this series of three volumes, "A General History of the Christian Era," the term general is used in opposition to "ecclesiastical," "special," etc., as the books, whilst confined to the most important period of the world´s events, contain all the features of general histories of this class. The aim and spirit of the work is outlined on page 17. "As Jesus Christ, the God Incarnate, is the center of all history, so the divine institution of the Primacy of the Holy See and the Independence of the Catholic Church is the center of the history of the Christian Era. Most of the great historical contests since the coming of Christ were waged around the Rock of St. Peter. It is impossible to understand and appreciate the course of human events in its proper meaning and character without giving full consideration and weight to these two central facts of history." (Introd., § 3, No. 12.) On the other hand, all non-Catholic or anti-Catholic historiography, touching the Christian Era, starts from the false supposition that the Spiritual Supremacy of Rome, the Independence of the Catholic Church, and the "Sacerdotalism" of the Middle Ages, arc merely human claims and inventions, historical developments of the natural order of things, highly useful, indeed, for the education of the barbarian, but institutions which could be set aside with impunity and advantage after they had answered their purpose. In this fundamental position of opposing schools, a truce is impossible. Accordingly the works of non-Catholic historians lavishly quoted in these volumes, arc recommended for their able and often eminent historical researches in the field of secular knowledge, and not for their religious or ecclesiastical views.
