Cardinal Manning, in his defense of the
papncy, claimed that Rome had the full right
10 depose Protestant sovereign. In his "Es-
says on Religion" PIP 456-459, he SAYS: "The

authority with which she is vested by Christ
over all Christian men, to depose such Prince
in punishment of mis- spiritual crime" The
