What reading level is New Views of Christianity Society And the Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Leo himself is a sensualist, sunk in his sensual pleasures, and perhaps a great sufferer in conse- quence of his excesses. It is said he was an Atheist, a thing more than probable. All his tastes were worldly. Instead of the sacred books of the Church, 3* 30 PROTESTANTISM.
the pious legends of Saints and Martyrs, he amused himself with the elegant but profane literature of Greece and Rome. His principal secretaries were not holy monks but eminent classical scholars. He revived and enlarged the ...University at Rome, encouraged human learning and the arts of civiliza- tion, completed St. Peter's, and his reign was graced by Michael Angelo and Raphael. He en- gaged in wars and diplomacy and in them both had respect only to the goods of the Church, or to the interests of himself and family as temporal princes.
Now all this was in direct opposition to the theory of the Church. Materialism was in the papal chair, but it was there as a usurper, as an illeoritimate. It reigned in fact, but not in rijjht.
