Excerpt from The Papal Drama: A Historical EssayThe title selected for this book pretty exactly, I trust, expresses its character and defines its limits. I do not profess to write the history of the Roman Church, I do not profess to write a minute and detailed history of the popes: but I do profess to tell with some fullness arid comprehensiveness the story of the popedom, to follow it from its origin to the present time through all its changes, revolutions, triumphs and disasters, to linger over its most striking personages and its most important passages, to set it forth in its twofold character as a spiritual and a secular power, and to consider its relations to other powers, its place in history, and its part in the great drama of human affairs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
