Description
Excerpt from Urbs Et Orbis: Or the Pope as Bishop and as Pontiff
IN The Vicar of Christ (london, Art and Book Company, my purpose was to set forth four truths - that Christ has on this earth a visible Kingdom - that in this Kingdom Christ not only reigns but rules - that Christ''s rule, both in teaching and in government, is rendered actual by means Of that man, our fellow-man, whom Christ has made to be His Vicar on this earth, and that - if Christ had no visible Vicar here on earth, and throughout the centuries of time, Christ''s royalty would be merely nominal, and not real.
The purpose of the present volume is to set forth the Papacy in action, with some account of the machinery by means of which the Supreme Pontiff has governed and governs the visible Church.
