Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 40: March and June, 1856 Servility to the crown resulted in the establishment of the Royal Supremacy. It was simply the victory of arbitrary power. It was, as all know, the triumph of the secular power over the spiritual. But that is only half the truth. That triumph could not have been, and was not achieved, until the royal power had trampled upon civil liberty. The great charters which formed the basis and the bulwark of the national liberties, guaranteed the rights of the Church not less than those of the nation. They likewise recognized, as the foundation of the rights of the Church, her freedom from royal control in all that related to her internal rule, and to ecclesiastical administration. This formed the foundation of religious liberty; and the charters wrung from our Norman sovereigns only re-echoed and re-affirmed the declarations of our ancient Saxon constitution. The Norman dynasty desired to abrogate these rights of the Church, in order to lay hold upon her property. They had first essayed this by open violence, at which the nation revolted; and the result was the extortion of the charters which made the freedom of the Church the foundation for the freedom of the nation. Later monarchs, craftier, if not wiser, essayed to do by art what their predecessors had failed to do by violence.
