How Peter Became Pope, Wm Dallmann

Giovanni do Medici was made Abbot of Fonte-dolce at the age of seven, Pope Sixtus IV confirming the grant. When thirteen, he was made a cardinal by Pope Innocent VIII.

Lorenzo the Magnificent sent his boy cardinal to Rome with a warning agamid the fashionable society in "that sink of all iniquity An Italian proverb ran, "Rome seen, faith lost." Froude declares that "no imagination could invent, no malice could exaggerate, what the papal court really became under Alexander VI and Julius II and Leo X.”

Leo X became Pope in 1513 and had to near to reform his court …

Clement VI, 1342-52, said, "My predecessors did not know how to be Pope.''

Villari says the Countess of Jurenne was the Pope's mistress. The Pope absolved Queen Johanna of Naples for murdering her husband; the queen sold the vast Avignon to the Pope for a beggarly 80,000 florins.

The Pope's table, horses, pageants, and ladies made his court look like that of a king. Of the twenty-five cardinals created by Clement twelve were relatives, who led the most scandalous Iives. Clement said, "The monks behave like a herd of bulls that rage against the cows of the people."

Testimonials For The Lutheran Position In Education, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

We Lutherans of the Synodical Conference are sometimes inclined to be somewhat apologetic with regard to our whole system of religious instruction. This is true even of our catechetical training in preparation for the rite of confirmation and the admission to adult or communicant membership in the Church. How else shall we explain the lowering of standards of indoctrination, particularly in adult classes? And yet, apart from Scripture precept and example, we have the support of some of the staunchest champions of the Bible, as when J. Gresham Machen writes, in his book What is Faith? (p. 150 f.) : …

The Lord of life and death has again removed from this vale of tears a beloved husband and father, an honored teacher of the Church, a staunch defender of the true religion. Last Monday, quite suddenly, after but an hour's illness, Dr. F. Bente was delivered from every evil work and translated into the heavenly kingdom.

The Last Twentyyears Of Peter's Life, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The reason for putting the topic in this form is obvious. It refers, as a matter of course, to the years 42-67 A. D., during which, according to belief in Roman Catholic circles, Peter, the "Prince of the Apostles," was bishop of the congregation at Rome and incidentally the first Pope. The situation with regard to the Romish claims is well set forth by Shotwell (in Shotwell and Loomis, The See of Peter, XXIII) as follows: "With reference to the Petrine doctrine … the Catholic attitude is much more than a 'predisposition to believe.' That doctrine is the fundamental basis …

Josiah And The Battle Of Megiddo, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The boast of the Lutheran Church has ever been that it is "the Church of the open Bible," that the Holy Scriptures are given into the hands of every member, and that every Christian is urged to ransack the Bible for the truths of salvation and the revelation of God's grace and goodness in general. The Lutheran Church has ever acknowledged, in addition, that "whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning," Rom. 15, 4, so that, while a difference is rightly made in the relative importance of the various parts of the Bible for the way of …

Reformed Tendencies In Certain American Lutheran Churches, Th Graebner

The subject is one that would properly call for an extended treatise. Reserving a more detailed discussion for a later date, the writer here would submit in the form of extracts from the official organs of several Lutheran bodies evidence of a strong Reformed leaven now working in the Synods responsible for these periodicals.

In the tenth century camo "the rule of the prostitutes"-Theodora and her daughters, Theodora and Marozia. As ambitious as they were beautiful, they obtained the greatest influence in Rome by a prodigal prostitution of their charms. The supreme power in Rome was for a while practically in the hands of these licentious women. "Rome," says a contemporary chronicler, "fell under the yoke of women. As we read in the prophet: 'The effeminate shall rule over them,' " Is. 3, 4.

Schools Of The Prophets In Old Testament Times, A W. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Let us note that the character of the prophetic office differed distinctly from that of the priestly, though at times combined in one person. It was not, like the priestly, confined to one tribe; however, it did not, in its personnel, extend beyond the covenant people. Balaam might be designated an exception, but he was an enigma as to character. A prophet was not to establish his prophetic office by signs and wonders, for even false prophets might perform these, Deut.13, 1-15, but by his adherence to the Law and testimony of Jehovah.

Hadrian I, 772-795, had his rival Paul Afiarta executed. When the Lombards again besieged Rome, the Pope called Karl the Great, who overthrew King Desiderius and annexed his kingdom. Karl visited the Pope, kissed the stairs of St. Peter's as he went up, and ratified and enlarged the gift of his father Pepin in 774. In 781 Karl had to help again, and rumor had it he planned to depose the Pope.

Till December 1, 781, the Pope had counted his office from the years of the rule of the Greek emperors; now he dated it from the years of …

The Republic of China has not, as may often be supposed from its name, a republican form of government, with taxation and representation carefully apportioned, popular suffrage, general elections of president, legislators, etc., and other features which we associate with our republican form of government. The nation is at present living in the so-called "period of political tutelage," during which, in accordance with the will of the founder, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the government shall be entirely in the hands of the National People’s Party, or Kuomintang. During this period there is to be no popular government, but the people, …

The Dynamic Of The Lutheran Reformation, R R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Augsburg Confession is a confession of faith. But through its four hundred years it has become more: it is a witness to the persistence of the Lutheran Reformation. It was in its origin an episode in the growth of the Lutheran movement; it is a testimonial, after four centuries, to the permanent power of its principles. Why did the principles formulated under the inspiration of the Lutheran movement have this quality of persistence, becoming largely identified with the name and personality of Luther, maintaining their distinction through centuries and under varying circumstances? Why did not, for example, the Wycliffe …

Hilary, 461-408, took the title "Vicar of Peter, to whom, since the resurrection of Christ, belonged the keys of the kingdom.” He admitted, however, that his vast authority had a civil origin. In time the "Vicar of Peter'' grew into the ''Vicar of Christ."

When Emperor Augustulus was deposed, in 476, the division of the Eastern and Western empires ended. In the following century the Goths were put down by J' Justinian’s generals Belisarius and Narses, and Italy was subject to the emperor at Constantinople and ruled by his exarchs at Ravenna, …

"The Papacy, such as the West knew it in a later age, had not yet 'been born" - in the fourth century, says Duchesne. For stating this historical truth the French Catholic scholar’s History of the Chruch was placed on the "Index.''

Julius I, 337-352, called a synod to Rome in 340, but the Orientals sent an insulting refusal. When he, in 341, reproved some Eastern bishops for calling a synod at Antioch without his permission, they laughed and told him Christianity arose in the East, and if there were any question of superiority, such belonged to the elder, Oriental, …
