Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...but they were, in reality, misleading both to themselves and to the public. The false 1 See Hildebrand, the Napoleon oj the Church, 3 vols: A. H. Mathew. Decretals are now discredited, and the early defenders of the Holy See are blamed for having made use of them. If the Patriarch Anthimius is to be believed, the whole edifice of papal supremacy reposes upon them. This is unjust and monstrous. In reality, the false Decretals were only a temporary argument, defective in itself, but made use of in all the sincerity of good intentions. In any case, it was not from these documents that Gregory VII. derived his keen appreciation of the miseries which afflicted the Church, nor his conviction that the Pope, as successor of St. Peter, could still wield great moral force if he were free, disinterested, and faithful to his duty. He well knew that such had been the sentiments of the great Popes of bygone days, such as St. Leo, St. Gregory, and others, and in their examples he found hope and support. Better informed than we could have been in his time, we now see how, far beyond the time of those illustrious Pontiffs, he went back to a still earlier and more venerable tradition, to that of the Popes of the primitive Church, to the epoch when, in spite of her material insecurity, she was not hindered in her spiritual activity; when the emperors, if not yet her sons, were nevertheless not her oppressors. When Gregory was raised to the See of St. Peter, the East was no longer spoken of; the road thither had been forgotten for centuries. How this had come to pass, is now the question which remains for us to study.
