Peter's Rock in Mohammed's Flood, from St. Gregory the Great to St. Leo III

by T. W. Allies

the Papal constancy makes martyrs;

the patriarchal despotism corrupts the faith and destroys the empire, [395-396], [409-410];

fifty-eight Byzantine bishops from Metrophanes, a.d. 325, to Methodius, 842, of whom twenty-one heretics, [411-414];

seventy Popes in the same period, all of whom keep one faith, [415];

the doctrine thus preserved is that of the Incarnation itself, [415];

the line of subject succeeded by the line of sovereign Popes, [432];

the Papal line the fountain head of political sense, [491-492];

Christian Europe born from the alliance between Charlemagne and Popes Adrian I. and Leo III., [515].

Rachis, king of the Lombards, resigns his kingdom, [349];

receives the cowl of St. Benedict from the hands of Pope Zacharias, [349].
