The Temporal Power Of The Vicar Of Jesus Christ (1880)

The Temporal Power Of The Vicar Of Jesus Christ is a book written by Henry Edward Manning in 1880. The book discusses the power and authority of the Pope as the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth. Manning, a prominent English Catholic convert and theologian, argues that the Pope has temporal power as well as spiritual power, and that this power is necessary for the proper governance of the Church and the protection of the faithful. He examines the historical development of the Papacy and its relationship with secular rulers, as well as the theological basis for the Pope's authority. Manning also addresses criticisms of the Papacy, including accusations of tyranny and corruption, and argues that these are largely unfounded. The book is a defense of the Papacy and an affirmation of the Catholic Church's belief in the authority of the Pope as the visible head of the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
