Boniface was hardly dead, when the epitaph, which no time can erase, from the impression of which the most candid mind strives with difficulty to emancipate itself, was proclaimed to the unprotesting Christian world : " He came in like a fox, he ruled like a lion, he died like a dog.
الصفحة 261 - Again the assailants thundered at the gates of the palace ; still there was obstinate resistance. • The principal church of Anagni, that of Santa Maria, protected the Pope's palace. Sciarra Colonna's lawless band set fire to the gates ; the church was crowded with clergy and laity and traders who had brought their precious wares into the sacred building.

Never was man or monarch so intensely selfish as Philip the Fair ; his own power was his ultimate scope ; he extended so enormously the royal prerogative, the influence of France, because he was King of France.

In William of Nogaret the blood of his Tolosan ancestors, in Colonna, the wrongs, the degradation, the beggary, the exile of all his house, had extinguished every feeling but revenge. They insulted him with contumelious reproaches; they menaced his life. The Pope answered not a word. They insisted that he should at once abdicate the papacy. ' Behold my neck, behold...
الصفحة 264 - The religious mind of Christendom was at once perplexed and horror-stricken by this act of sacrilegious violence on the person of the Supreme Pontiff; it shocked some even of the sternest Ghibellines. Dante, who brands the pride, the avarice, the treachery of Boniface in his most terrible words, and has consigned him to the direst doom, (though it is true that his alliance with the French, with Charles of Valois, by whom the poet had been driven into exile, was among the deepest causes of his hatred...
الصفحة 259 - Ask of me, I will give Thee the nations as Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Thy possession : to bruise kings with a rod of iron, and to break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.' An awful admonition to kings ! But the unlimited power of St. Peter has ever been exercised with serene lenity." The Bull then recapitulates all the chief causes of the quarrel : the prohibition of the bishops to attend the Papal summons to Rome ; the missions of James de Normannis Archdeacon...
الصفحة 423 - Wilhelmina, whether her doctrines were kept secret to the initiate,p lived unpersecuted, and died in peace and in the odour of sanctity. She was buried first in the church of St. Peter in Orto ; her body was afterwards carried to the convent of Chiaravalle. Monks preached her funeral sermon ; the Saint wrought miracles ; lamps and wax candles burned in profuse splendour at her altar ; she had three annual festivals ; her Pope, Mayfreda, celebrated mass. It was not...
