Book IX.
CHAPTER IX.
NEW ORDERS. ST. DOMINIC.
The progress of the new opinions in all quarters, their obstinate resistance in Languedoc, opinions, if not yet rooted out, lopped by the sword and seared by the fire, had revealed the secret of the fatal weakness of Latin Christianity. Sacerdotal Christianity, by ascend- p„.ching i^g a throne higher than all thrones of earthly **"* sovereigns, by the power, the wealth, the mag- nificence of the higher ecclesiastics, had withdrawn the influence of t...he clergy from its natural and peculiar office. Even with the lower orders of the priesthood, that which in a certain degree separated them fix)m the people, set them apart from the sympathies of the peo- ple. The Church might still seem to preach to all, but it preached in a tone of lofly condescension ; it dictated rather than persuaded ; but in general actual preaching had &llen into disuse ; it was in theory the special priv- ilege of the bishops, and the bishops were but few who had either the gift, the inclination, or the leisure from their secular, judicial, or warlike occupations to preach even in their cathedral cities ; in the rest of their dio- ceses their presence was but occasional ; a progress or visitation of pomp and form, rather than of popular instruction.
