Synopsis:
Excerpt from Peter's Rock in Mohammed's Flood: From St. Gregory the Great to St. Leo III.; Being the Seventh Volume of the Formation of Christendom
It is the voice of all history that God with the most careful providence directs the various and never-ending movements of human affairs. Even against man's inten tion he makes them serve the advancement of His Church. History says further that the Roman Pontificate has ever escaped victorious from its contests and the violence employed against it; while its assaulters have failed in the hope which they cherished, and have wrought their own destruction. Not less openly does history attest the divine provision made concerning the city of Rome from its very beginning. This was to give for ever a home and seat to the successors of St. Peter, from which as a centre, being free from all control of a superior, they might guide the whole Christian common wealth. And no one has ventured to resist this counsel of the divine Providence without sooner or later perceiv ing the vanity of his efforts.
