"And shall wear out the saints of the Most High." Dan. 7:25.]
"The Pope is of so great dignity and excellence, that he is not
merely man, but as if God, and the vicar of God (_non sit
simplex homo, sed quasi Deus, et Dei vicarius_). The Pope alone
is called most holy,... divine monarch, and supreme emperor,
and king of kings.... The Pope is of so great dignity and power
that he constitutes one and the same tribunal with Christ
(_faciat unum et idem tribunal cum Christo_), so that
whatsoever the Pope does seems to proceed from the mouth of God
(_abore Dei_)."--_"Prompta Bibliotheca" (Ferraris), art.
"Papa;" Ferraris's Ecclesiastical Dictionary (Roman Catholic),
art. "The Pope." Quoted in Guinness's "Romanism and the
Reformation," p. 16._
These are no merely extravagant adulations of the Dark Ages, to be
repudiated by the moderns; these terms express the unchanging doctrinal
claims of the Roman Church, that put man in the place of God.
