Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 77: October 14, 1915 But this is not the question at issue between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other churches. We main tain that the scriptures predict a general and complete apostasy from the Church of Christ, and that this apostasy actually took place. We claim that the reign of antichrist was established instead of the sovereignty of our Lord, and that this revolution was as radical as if the people of Great Britain should discard their wonderful democratic form of government and establish auto cracy in its stead. We, further, believe that God again has intro duced His Spiritual government among the children of men, by establishing the Church through the instrumentality of the Prophet Joseph Smith. We hold that all the churches of the world have deviated from the teachings of our Lord, introduced ordinances different from those instituted by Him, and changed the form of government He established. The Roman church, particularly in the matter of church government, patterned after pagan Rome, and her daughters have followed her very closely. The question, then, is not, whether all churches have emanated from Rome, but whether the Church of Christ has remained on earth, in any of the existing sects, from the day of its foundation until now; or, whether it was necessary to establish it again by means of direct revelation, as at first. The latter proposition, we hold, is true, and can be proved from the Scriptures and from history. With regard to the second point, history is so clear that there should be no excuse for doubt as to which church seceded from the other. To say that Rome seceded from the Anglican church is a mere juggling with words, as if one should say that, by the American War of Independence in 1776, England seceded from the American colonies involved in that conflict.
