The sphere of the Papal government is spiritual, not temporal^ The Pope, as such, has no right to command in matters which simply concern the temporal well- being of men in general, or even of Catholics in particular ; in other words, he has no power to make laws on those subjects with which the State is legitimately concerned. On the con- The, Primacy of the Roman Pontiff. 147 -trary, his whole influence, and that of the Church in general, is rightfully used, and as a matter of fact has always... been used, to incul- cate obedience to existing governments, even though their strict right to govern might be questioned. It has always maintained the doc- trine taught by St. Paul (Rom. xiii. 1-2) : '*Let every soul be subject to higher powers; for there is no power but from God : and those that are, are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that* resist, purchase to themselves damnation . * * It is perfectly clear to any one who will read history that disobedience to the laws of the State has been always regarded by the Church as sinful, as long as the State keeps within its legitimate province.
