First Argument From The Name It Self Discussed ~ By Michael Christopherson (Walpole) Priest 1613 Chapter I. Bk.iii


First Chapter 

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

III

Now Calvin Lib.4.cap.7.&23. "Let (saith he) all those things be true,which notwithstanding we have now wrested from them, that Peter was by the voice of Christ, appointed Head of the universal Church, & that he left the honor given unto him in the Roman Sea, that thus was established by the authority of the ancient Church, & confirmed by long use, that the chiefest authority was always due from all to the Bishop of Rome,and that he was the judge of all causes and men, that he was subject to the judgment of none; let them have more also if they will:Yet I answer in one word, that nothing of this standeth in force, except the Church and Bishop be at Rome.

And after &.24. Let the Romanists untie me this knot: I deny that their Pope is the Prince of Bishops, since that he is not a Bishop.

And after. Let Rome in times past have been the Mother of all Churches:but since she began to become the seat of Antichrist, she left to be that which she was.

And after &.25.We seem to some, backbiters and slanderers,when we call the Bishop of Rome Antichrist, but they which think so, understand not that they accuse Paul of immodesty, after whom we speak, yea out of whose mouth we speak so.

And least any object, that we wrongfully wrest Paul'swords against the Pope which pertain to another purpose,I will briefly show, that they cannot  be understood otherwie, then of the Popedome." So he.

But he should have showed, into what  errors the Bishops of Rome are fallen,and when,and by whome they were condemned.

For we know,that in the General Lateran Council under Innocentius the third, and of Lyons under Gregory the tenth, and of Florence under Eugenius the fourth, the Greeks being convicted of error, returned to the Faith of the Latins, and afterward always returned to their vomit again, and were therefore most grievously punished by God; but we never read that the Latins came to the Faith of the Greeks.

Neither can there any Ecclesiastical judgment be produced against the Latins,as we bring many against the Greeks.

A Treatise Of Antichrist: The Disputation Of Antichrist Is Propounded, And The First Argument From The Name It Self Discussed ~ By Michael Christopherson (Walpole) Priest 1613 Chapter I. Bk.i.

Pope Francis Verano Cemetery
2 November 2014
First Chapter

Wherein the Disputation of Antichrist is propounded.

I

We have demonstrated hitherto (saith Bellarmine) that the Pope succedeth S. Peter in the chiefest Princedom of the whole Church.

It remaineth that we see, whether at any time the Pope hath fallen from this degree, for that our adversaries contend, that he is not at this time a true Bishop of Rome, whatsoever he was before.

And Nilus in the end of his book against the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome, speaketh thus: But let that be the sum and head of my speech, that while the Pope keepeth in the Church a convenient, heavenly, and of ancient time appointed order, while he holdeth and defendeth the heavenly truth, & while he cleaveth to Christ, the chief and true Lord and head of the Church, I will easily suffer him to be both the head of the Church, & the chiefest Priest, & the successor of Peter, or else if he will, of all the Apostles, that all obey him, and that whatsoever belongeth to his honour, be in nothing dimmished: but if he be departed from the truth, & will not return to it, he ought deservedly to be accounted of, as one that is condemned and rejected.
