Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Is Modern Romanism?: A Consideration of Such Portions of Holy Scripture, as Have Alleged Bearings on the Claims of Modern Rome
Of Rome, and we ask the questions, What is it? What are its principles IS it the same now that it always was, or has it undergone a change?
The Church polity of Rome as the Roman theologians teach, may be described, in political language, as an abso lute, unlimited monarchy The Pope is an autocrat; he is the head, not as a chairman is head of a gathering of citizens, or a President is in charge of a bank, or a; Bishop exercises jurisdiction over a Diocese; but he is by divine appointment the head of the Church, he is christ's image on earth, he is in the place of christ as no one else is or can be, he is above all and controls all, and is controlled by none. DO what he may, he is beyond man's judgment, and when he speaks authoritatively or Officially, god the holy ghost prevents him from going wrong; he is ih fallible.
