What reading level is Lectures On the Council of Trent, Delivered At Oxford 1892-3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The argument was so hot, and had run into such dangerous regions, that Father Paul takes the occasion to describe how pluralism had gro^vn to such a height, and a very curious story it is. Small benefices began to be united where the income of one was insufficient for an incumbent's support. Next came the opinion that the incmnbent of a benefice ought to have a com- petency, a competency meaning an income large enough to keep three servants and a horse. The higher clerg}-- required more. Bishop...s especially having a state to maintam, expected a decent revenue, and decency was an elastic expression. Cardinals ranked with princes, and their establishments had to be on a princely scale.
The gi'adation of expenditure being thus admitted, there was nothing for it but pluralism, which meant, virtually, that every priest was to be allowed to hold as many benefices as he could get. The canon for- bade it, but the Pope could dispense ; and as no one else could dispense, the clergy had become his humble servants.
