Ebook The Creeds of Christendom

In the present edition I have added, at the close of this volume, an important document — namely, the Encyclical Letter of Pope Leo XIII., on the Christian constitution and government of States. It is closely connected with the famous Syllabus of his predecessor, Pins IX. (vol. II. pp.213-233), and sets forth more fully the papal or mediæval theory of the relation between Church and State.
