Excerpt from Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, 1898, Vol. 38As regards Germany, m the second half of the fifteenth century the Inquisition had already lost its former importance. It 15 true that even during the sixteenth century we find the names of several Inquisitors mentioned, especially in connection with the Western provinces, but in view of the victorious progress of the Reforma tion there could be no question of a revival of the institu tion there. Nay, even the sovereigns of the districts which re mained Catholic, princes who successfully endeavoured to bring the Catholic Church within their dominions more and more under their own political in¿uence, were by no means inclined - in spite of their zeal in promoting the Catholic counter-reformation - to fat our the revival of an authority which depended immediately on Rome, and which would have proved an obstacle to the carrying out of their State Church ideas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
