Description:Excerpt from Saint Bernard on ConsiderationIt was a time, too, of political movement.' Arnold of Brescia, a disciple of Abelard, but more famous for his political heresy, not only preached reform in the Church, but threw Rome into convulsions by proclaiming (a.d. 1143) a Republic. He presumed to quote the declaration of Christ, 'that His kingdom is not of this world; he boldly maintained that the sword and the sceptre were intrusted to the civil magistrate; that temporal honours and possessions were law fully vested in secular persons; that the abbots, the bishops, and the Pope himself must renounce either their state or their salvation; and that after the loss of their revenues, the voluntary tithes and oblations of the faithful would suffice, not indeed for luxury and avarice, but for a frugal life in the exercise of spiritual labours.' 3 The terror of successive popes, he was hanged, burnt, and his ashes cast into the Tiber (a.d. 1155) only two years after Bernard's death. The saint's advice to the Pope more than once recalls the teaching, tone, and temper of Arnold.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
