Chapter II

RELATION BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL AND THE CIVIL POWERS AFTER CHRIST.

1. _The Spiritual Power in its Source and Nature._

The Spiritual Power not only allied but subordinate to the Civil
throughout the Gentile world at the death of Christ, 70
1. Its independence in Israel alone, as acknowledged by the
people, a result of the creation of the Aaronic
priesthood, 72
Special offices of the High Priest, 73
2. The part of the High Priest through the whole history from
Moses to Christ, 75
3. The actual jurisdiction of the High Priest under the Roman
Empire, 77
4. The High-priesthood and the system of worship over which
it presided viewed as a prophecy and preparation for
Christ, 80
Bearing of the High-priesthood to Christ at His coming, 82
The undisputed circumstances of Christ's death, 83
Extreme antecedent improbability of what followed, 84
Its dependence upon a supernatural and miraculous fact, 85
As the Race springs from Adam in Paradise, so the Spiritual Power
from Christ at His Resurrection, 86
The inward cohesion of Priesthood, Teaching, and Jurisdiction, 87
The two forces of the Primacy and the Hierarchy from the
beginning, 90
The unity and triplicity of power in the regimen of the Church
an image of the Divine Unity and Trinity, 92

2. _The Spiritual Power a Complete Society._

The supernatural society exists for a supernatural end, 93
To which the present life is subordinated, 94
And which is beyond the provision of temporal government, 95
Analogy between the Two Powers, 96
Complete philosophical basis on which the Spiritual Power rests, 98
How the inward life which it imparts is united with the Person of
Christ, 99
From whom, in worship, belief, and conduct, the Christian people
derives, 101
The King and the Kingdom not of this world but in it, fulfilled
in thirteen particulars, 103
1. A kingdom ruling all the relations of man Godward, 103
2. Having an end outside this life, 103
3. Deriving all authority from Christ as Apostle and High
Priest, 103
4. Producing its people from its King, 103
5. Imparting grace from the King in its sacraments, 104
6. Transmitting the King's truth by the order of its regimen, 104
7. Having a complete analogy with civil government, 104
8. Fulfilling man's need of supernatural society, 105
9. Generating an universal law for all relations of public and
private life, 105
10. Possessing independence of the Temporal Power, 106
11. Not limited in space, 106
12. Not limited in time, 107
13. A kingdom of charity through union with its King, 107

3. _Relation of the Two Powers to each other._

Principles which ruled the relation between the Two Powers before
Christ, 108
A new basis given to the Spiritual Power by Christ, from which
every relation to the Temporal Power springs, 110
1. All Christians subject to the Spiritual Power, 112
2. And likewise to the Temporal Power as God's Vicegerent, 112
3. The relation between the Two Powers intended by God is
amity, 114
4. A separate action of the Two Powers, without regard to
each other, not intended, 115
5. Persecution of the Spiritual by the Temporal not intended, 119
6. Contrast between human kingdoms and the divine kingdom, 120
The _end_ the ground of the subordination of the one to the
other, 122
Doctrine of St. Thomas to that effect, 123
The indirect power over temporal things, 124
Sum of the foregoing chapter; Orders of Nature and Grace, 125
Co-operation of the Two Powers as stated by St. Gregory VII., 126
The image of marriage, as describing the ideal relation and the
various deflections from it, 128
