An exchange gives the following facts in regard to the Papacy:— “The custom of kissing the pope’s toe was introduced about A. D. 708. Adrian I. caused money to be coined with his name, A. D. 780. The first pope who kept an army was Leo IX., 1054. In 1077 Gregory VII. compelled Henry IV., Emperor of Germany, to stand bare footed in the snow at the gate of the Castle of Canosa. The pope’s authority was established in England in 1079; and in 1161 Henry II. held the stirrup while Pope Alexander III. mounted his horse. In 1191 Celestine III. kicked the crown from off the head of the Emperor Henry VI., to show his prerogative of making and unmaking kings. Kissing the pope’s toe and other ceremonies were abolished by Clement XIV. in 1773. The pope was deprived of the remains of his temporal power in December, 1870.
