Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Roman Catholicism IT used to be the proud boast of the Church of Rome that She was Semper ead'em, always the same. Kingdoms rose and fell, but she remained unshaken. The opinions of men were ever changing, but the doctrines of the Church of Rome remained unaltered throughout all the vicissitudes of human thought, the one thing to which men could cling with the unwavering confidence that it would never fail them. And this was the favourite line of defence taken by Romanist controversialists. Like Bossuet, they delighted to dwell on the variations of the Protestant Churches, and to contrast with these the constant, unfluctuating character of the creed of Rome.
