Ties be- tween Church and State, which were then, to the Euro- pean mind, normal, led sometimes to conditions that negatived what those ties were supposed to mean. Per- haps more was to be feared from Catholic than from non- Catholic sovereigns. Regalism — the interference of Catholic monarchs in the purely internal affairs of the Church — had grown to be an almost insupportable burden. Political pressure hampered the Pontificate in the selection of Bishops, and priests were interfered with alm...ost at the steps of the altar. Private ambition and intrigue beset every step in the adjustment of the direct relations between Church and State in Europe. Ecclesi- astical seminaries, basking in the favor of powerful rulers, taught what Rome called heresy. Threats which kings and statesmen made in attempt- ing to sway the action of the Vatican Council were known in all the chancellories of the world. The Austrian, French and Spanish Cardinals spoke with the weight of a power, which had been allowed them by custom rather than law, of vetoing the election of Popes.^^ The dif- ference between this European background, the result of long historical processes, and the full freedom of the American Bishops in the Council was not lost upon Gib- bons.
