Excerpt from The Apostolic See: A Discourse
And I say to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I Will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And what soever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the history of the Papacy from its inception in the first century to the rise of Charlemagne in the eighth century. Exploring how the authority of the Bishop of Rome grew in a Christian world ruled by hostile Roman emperors, the author argues that the Papacy functioned as a beacon of faith and founded an organized structure, maintaining Christian unity amidst a world of pagan and heretical influences. Within this framework, the author also delineates the evolution of the Papacy's administrative structures, providing fresh insights into the development of canon law and the training and consecration of priests, as well as its role in spreading and developing literacy and education in Western civilization. The book concludes by stating that the Pope, as the earthly head of the Catholic Church, was the key figure in consolidating the spiritual and cultural power that would shape the history of Europe for the next thousand years.
