Excerpt from Historical Papers, Vol. 4Let us assume for a moment [he tells us], though in the teeth of all Scripture and history, that the doctrine of the Petrine privilege is true, that St. Peter was given infallible and sovereign jurisdiction over the whole Church Catholic, that he was Pope of Rome, that he conveyed his privileges indefeasibly to the Popes who succeeded him, and that the successor of the Fisherman is the supreme ruler and teacher. Of Christians, the one Vicar of Christ on earth, whose single word is the living voice of the Church, infallible and paramount. Even 'so, something further is essential, the Pope who claims these august privileges must be Pope zl'e jure as well as de fade. It is an axiom of Latin theology and canon law, that unlawful possession of the Papacy confers no rights whatever, and that all acts done by one who is Pope d'e faefo without being also Pope de iure are null and void.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
