Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epochs of the Papacy: From Its Rise to the Death of Pope Pius IX. In 1878 The title of this book, "Epochs of the Papacy," expresses, I trust, accurately, its nature and object. I propose to describe the rise, growth, and decline of the Papacy in successive epochs, every one of them representing some phase in her marvellous history from the earliest ages to the present time. The reader will observe that I am strongly opposed to the Papal claims. I do not mean to deny that occasionally the Popes have displayed virtues and excellences, or that during the dark ages the Papacy may have sometimes restrained the savage violence of the kingly or baronial aggressor. Sometimes, too, circumstances have rendered her less pernicious and less formidable than she was in former ages of her history.
