Lib. Vi. Ep. X. USURPATION OF ROME. 179 Alas! it happened in that dark and unfortunate period, when the Emperor Maurice had been as- sasinated by Phoeus, who usurped the empire, and who gave, in order to fortify himself in his tyranny, the title of Universal Bishop to Boni- face III. In that way the Popes obtained the supremacy, and gradually usurped the authority over the other bishops. To execute this scheme, they addressed to Pope Theodore, 1 letters with the superscription: "Holy Father of ...fathers, sov- ereign Pontiff of bishops. " 2 The churches of Dacia, and Illiria strongly opposed that monstrous usurpation, which they considered both blasphemy and apostacy. France as well as Spain and England, protested against it, and it was not till a long time after this event, that they submitted to the yoke of the so-called universal bishop of Rome. Such is the short history of the usurpation of the title of Universal bishop. Such is the his- tory of the birth and progress of papal pretentions.
