What reading level is History of the Christian Church volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fall of Constantinople gave occasion to a re- newed effort to engage Europe in a crusade. This was a leading interest with Calixtus III. (1455-1458). It also fired the zeal of his successor, Pius II. , insomuch that he finally added the force of example to urgent persuasions, and consumed his failing strength in an attempt to help forward in person the expedition against the Turks. Only an indifferent response, however, was made to the summons of either Pope. The spectacle of the nations un...iting under the papal headship in a common undertaking had become forever a thing of the past. Too much money had gone into the papal treas- ury on the pretence of being stored up for the recovery of the East, too long and painful an experience of POPES AND COUNCILS. 369 naked selfishness and worldly greed in the Popes had been endured, to allow their call to come to the nations with any moral power or effectual authority.
Pius II. Presents a marked example of the tendency of liberal principles to expire in the chair of Peter.
