The present divided state of the Western religious world is the direct result of the papal power. A second claim of the Papacy would be to have promoted efficiency. We admire the vigorous action of Nicholas I. when he used the authority which he believed that he possessed to restrain the violent passions of the Carlovingian THE PAPACY 193 princes. The great men of the Papacy worked for right- eousness. But the periods of darkness and gloom were far longer than the spots of brightness. In an ove...r-centraHzed system corruption at the centre poisons the whole body. How evil was the Papacy in the tenth and eleventh centuries ! How disastrous the period of schism ! And when the rising nations of a newer Europe were seeking to create a purer Church the Papacy, paganized and corrupt, became the greatest stumbling-block to reform. When it began to renew itself it was too late and the disaster was complete. And these evil results have been inevitable because the Papacy has always presented a false view of Christianity.
