Excerpt from The Dublin University Magazine, Vol. 85: A Literary and Political Journal; January to June, 1875
Truly may it be said History re peats itself. What stronger or stranger illustration of this could be desired than the recurrence now of those fruitful topics of contro versy and strife concerning Pa al Supremacy, that distracted Ch ristian States during the middle ages, and deluged Europe with blood. In our day when the Popedom has been shorn of its medieval glory, when its temporal power has departed, and even its spiritual authority is Openly derided by multitudes of rebellious subjects, and is, besides, everywhere on the wane, it certainly a pears most strange that such a time should be chosen for reviving pretensions to a Divine Supremacy in things temporal as well as spiritual - a supremacy which the most Roman Catholic of countries resisted and spurned even in the darkest ages.
