CHAPTER IX
RISE OF THE PAPACY
OUTLINE: I.--Favourable conditions when the Christian era
began. II.--Forces at work up to 313. III.--Description of the
Roman Church in 313. IV.--Growth of the Papacy from 313 to
604. V.--Condition of the Papacy at the close of this period,
604. VI.--Sources.
To see how a handful of outlawed, persecuted Christians in Rome became
the omnipotent hierarchy of the Middle Ages is to comprehend the most
marvellous fact in European history. But when the conditions and forces,
which produced this wonderful organisation, are clearly understood, the
miracle becomes a natural and an inevitable product.
