To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his earliest work, that of 1 808, Lamennais had adopted a Warburtonian theory of Church and State, regarding the spiritual and temporal as inde- pendent powers, allied upon certain terms advantageous to both. But such a theory had nothing to oppose to the logic of a growing Catholic spirit, or to the logic of events under the governments of Napoleon and the Hestoration. In such alliances the children of this world had driven hard bargains in recent times with the children of light. The super...b self-assertion of the children of light reacted against the pretensions of the secular powers. If there is to be an hnperiamri in i'Mperio, it must not be the State, said they, which shall include the Church. Lamennais had only found the true doctrine of Rome, though it may have been a few centuries out of date, when he declared in favour of the universal sovereignty of the successor of Peter, and represented the authority of kings established by divine right as but " the secular arm, " subject by right no less divine to the Sovereign Pontiff at Rome.
