What reading level is The Church And the Empire Being An Outline of the History of the Church From a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Church property, in fact, was treated by those who represented the original donors as if it were the private property of the patron. The reform movement of the eleventh century, at any rate, succeeded in making a distinction between the riL^ht j)f ownership and the right of j)reseniialiQii, and in limiting the power of the patron to the latter. Beyond this nothing much was permanently effected in checkinj:' the traffic in tliini^s ecclesiastical. Prefer- ment continued to be used as patronage :... offices and dignities in the Churcli were given to cliildren, and preferments were accumulated upon individuals until pluralities became a standing grievance. Councils and Popes still thundered against simony, Init with THK SECULAR CLERGY 71 the extending authority of Eome the staff of tlie papal curia was increased, ancUthe traffic in things ecclesiastical at Eome was notorious.
The efforts of the reformers in checking clerical marriage had not been much more successful. The law now stood as follows : tlie first two Lateran Councils (1123, 1139) prohibited ^^'l-^\ matrimony to priests, deacons; and sub- deacons ; but to those only in one of the three minor orders of the Church it was still allowed, although Alexander III ultimately decreed that marriage should cause them to forfeit their benefice.
