It had been the 1 14 PRIESTCRAFT custom of every prince to appoint the bishops of his own land. At the death of any one of these, the ring and crosier, the insignia of his office, were sent to the monarch, and were by him delivered to the one he ap- pointed. This right Gregory claimed as the sole pre- rogative of the pope ; thus designing to make the whole church dependent on him, and entirely subser- vient to all the papal views — powerful instruments in the pontifical hands against both princ...e and people, the world over. The resistance this claim met with led to terrible wars ; and we shall have occasion to mention that with the Emperor of Germany, and his humiliation before the haughty priest, under the head of priestly arrogance. Thus did this race of most shameless and audacious men, while they called themselves the pastors of the flock of the meek and tender Christ, daringly and recklessly advance to a pitch of the most amazing, enduring, and universal despotism over the loftiest and most powerful monarchs.
