Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Papacy and Modern Times: A Political Sketch, 1303-1870 These pages do not undertake to frame or to resolve religious problems; they are not a treatise in Canon Law; neither will they attempt Church history in any proper sense of the word. I have called my little book a political sketch and in that light, with all due courtesy, it is offered to the Home University collection. Its purpose may be stated in a sentence. I desire to explain how it is that the Twentieth of September, 1870, when I saw the Italian army enter Rome, forms a landmark in the story of Western Europe and, by consequence, in the development of modern society on both sides of the Atlantic. For, if the scene is Rome, the horizon is America. There are three terms of comparison involved the Papacy, the Absolute State, and the American Constitution, which last, derived from England, owes its principles to the Great Charter and to Edward the Confessor. Putting these high abstract forms into the concrete, we may behold on our stage, Washington, Napoleon, and HildebrandOf these, Washington needs no description; he shines by his own splendour in the sky of liberty, sua se luce signal. Hildebrand, the least known to men at this hour, is by no means the least important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
