The Pope's power is both temporal and spiritual Peter's was only spiritual.' "My Kingdom,'' says Christ, "is not of this world, if it were, my soldiers would I tiobt for me, that I should not be delivered ' to the Jens," -John -Will. -Ui and " ho' came not to destroy but to save life.'' He conquered the world by love and not by 1 war and hlood-hed. He commanded Piter, " to put up the sword in its sheath, for they j that Use the sword, say - be, shall pcri-h by j the sword." Math. XXVI. The Pope has disobeyed this Divine com- malii! drawn the sword and slaughtered his be t friends, viz. : his own Itotmut Catbo- ' lie subjects, and this by nu inlidei nation t did be do this then by the inspiration of (iod or by the authority of St. Peter?! Sifelv every candid man will sny, it was done by the influence of iti.thal us. As to bis succcssorship. We will ask the : Ui'liop four questions on this head and! will tiie him until the general resurrection' to answer them t j 1. When did Peter appoint a successor ! j '1. Whom did he appoint such? Name I him if you (tin. I 3. Vi'heio did bo appoint him ! In what i town or place ? 1. Py what authority did he do St! Jlyj Lis own or by Christ's authority! Pope Ilildebranil, wfio first united (ue pvtiedoni niid the tiriiicedom, was denounced by his ow n bishops and priests us a monster in Inn, ia u ii iw an (ttlieist it ilivil u conjuror a jierjin til mint iniil more vile than am Si ro. Here then a link has been broken iu the chain'of succession and jou never can unite it again. Thcru were three Popes at one time, all claiming tho papal chair, John, Uem-diet-mid (ircitory, three wicked men. Their licentiousness was so preat that a general Council was called to depose t'e whole of them. It was composed of 310 bishops, 00 t prelates, and princes, dukes, and lords FiO'l, frc n various countries', wjio pas.-e.-l sentence cf condemnation jail the three and excommunicated ihi tu. Now then, through v Inch of the thr -c l'oxs tiit the iiicci ssiun come ? ' Ab-wer this, jf you can. Put in l.s:U, lioiiiiparte himself became Pope, or head of the Church ; be deposed the Pope and took him a prisoner of war to France, w here he died, ami the Emperor, some time alter this, thought proper to ap point another Pope, with very limited power to the See of Koine. IKre then another link in tii' chain has been broken, and' eini never he united ; so that the succession has 'liierly fallen to pieces and never can be rettorcd again. Finally, " Lo, I nm witli you," says Christ, " always tvrn fttito the end oT tiie world."
