pope. When admitted, he made the
most abject submission-submitted to the
most humiliating penance. When his day
of power returned, he deposed Gregory and
imprisoned him for three years in the castle
of st. Angelo, then drove him into exile,
and placed Clement III. in his chair. Never
for one moment would Gregory compromise
the rights of the church. 81 have loved

which has been adopted BY all nations save
Russia. Upon hearing of the massacre OF
st. Bartholomew, Gregory ordered jubi-

The most dramatic character among popes
was Sixtus ", 1886. He rose from the hum
blest walks of life to be one of the greatest
of rulers and statesmen. Under the mask
OF pious simplicity, feigning feeble old age,
he deceived the cardinals, who thought him
one to be easily managed. His election as
sured, he threw down the staff on which he
had leaned, assumed the dignity and I'M
periousness which never forsook him IN his
short pontifcate of five years. A monu-
ment OF his greatness was the building OF the
aqueduct, % miles long. He compared him
self to Moses, whose statue he raised,
fetching water from the rock by the potent
touch of his staff He raised the obelisk in
front OF st. Peters, feat thought to be i'm
possible. There was the penalty of death
tor anyone who spoke during the process.
When the vast thing swayed and seemed
about to fall, voice rang from out the
crowd, "Wet the ropes" The obelisk was
saved; for once Sixtus revoked his word.
He founded the vatican library and crowned
st. Peters nth its noble dome. He despised
Philip II, yet contributed to equip his Ar
mada. He admired Elizabeth of England
and Henry of Navarro, but for policy's sake
accommodated both. In his humorous
way, he would talk of mating with Eliza
beth as the only woman who equaled him In
greatness, saying, ''What match it would
be-. He was the last pope kings have had
to tear. People, hating him, marveled at
his glory-said he had made contract with
the devil, by whose aid he had risen step by
step, and that the stipulated period having
expired, his soul had been carried away in
a tempest.
Clement VIII, 1891, absolved Henry OF
Navarro, consented to his divorce from
Marguerite. In defiance of the pope, Henry
issued the Edict of Nantes.

added the third crown as sign of the
power of the popes in Heaven, on earth and
in hell. Boniface communicated Philip
the Fair of France. Philip defended his roy

gain money, the pope sold indulgences to all
who would make pilgrimage to Rome.
Two millions visited it in one year. 1t was
the beginning of pope's jubilee and has
since been celebrated every Is years. Philip
sent emissaries to seize the pope's person.
Boniface acted with spirit, donned his pom

and the cross in his hand, seated himself in
the papal chair, saying, ''Since l am be-
trayed as Jesus Christ was betrayed, will
die at least as pope" He was imprisoned
