To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^ Hist, of Latin Christ.-, ii. 130, ed. 1883.
ST. GREGORY I. THE GREAT I15 In theory, at least, after their conversion to Christianity, the Roman emperors, renouncing the title of Pontifex Maximus, gave up all claim to interfere in matters of the soul and conscience. These matters were to be left to the decision of God's representatives on earth, the bishops. In practice, however, like all other absolute monarchs since, masters of men's bodies, they could not refrain from looking on themselves ...as masters of their souls too. And by their edicts they were ever placing themselves in opposition to that fundamental doctrine of Revelation (whether it be question of the Old or New Testament) that there are 'things of Cesar's' indeed which must be rendered to him, but that there are also ' things of God ' which have to be rendered to Him. Christians, with St. Paul, 'honour the King,' but ' they fear God.' And because they would not have their consciences regulated for them by Roman emperors, Christians had in the days of persecution offered their lives to the executioner in thousands and tens of thou- sands.
