The fact is that themonks grew worse instead of better, and the arrogance of foreignersbecame more unendurable. "The corruption of the church establishment, infact, " says Lea, "had reached a point which the dawning enlightenment ofthe age could not much longer endure.... Intoxicated with centuries ofdomination, the muttered thunders of growing popular discontent wereunheeded, and its c...laims to spiritual and temporal authority wereasserted with increasing vehemence, while its corruptions were dailydisplayed before the people with more careless cynicism.
