Between 1848 and 1853 a doctrinal debate erupted in France between the ultramontanes, who supported a strict and centralized Church, and the gallicans, who favored a Catholicism that was deeply rooted in national character and local institutions. By recalling the bitter memory of this debacle, this book provides the historical background essential for understanding the key issues of the Vatican Council of 1870.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.

Excerpt from The Gallican Church and the Revolution: A Sequel to the History of the Church of France, From the Concordat of Bologna to the Revolution According to the traditional theology of Rome, the Pope is (under Christ) the sole source and dispenser of ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

But with the legislators of the Revolution it was a primary object to subvert and ex tinguish that tradition, which in their eyes was the most dangerous of mediseval usurpations.
