Roman emperor Constantine saw the sign
of the cross day sky and was instantly
It began on the in thein a.d. 312 when the
converted to Christianity. Suddenly the
Church, which had been concerned strictly
with man's soul, found itself ruler of the
known world.
Since that day, the Church's dilemma has
always been to what extent it should serve
mankind's spiritual needs—and to what extent
it should be involved in the power and politics
of secular life. Today, this conflict has reached
crisis proportions, and in this, his controversial
and provocative successor to the best-selling
The Final Conclave, Malachi Martin traces the
tragic schism in the Church from its historic
roots.
From that day in 312, flash forward to 1958
and the election of Angelo Roncalli as Pope
John XXIII. The change he inaugurated was
at least as great as the one Constantine intro
duced—a liberalism that has had the unex
pected result of destroying the authority of
the Church and the morality of the people,
and of hurling it toward Communism. "If Ron
calli did not see where his new teaching was
leading," Malachi Martin writes, "hundreds of
theologians and bishops did. In the sixties and
seventies, after Roncalli's death, they drew
these conclusions and abandoned belief in
Original Sin, in the Devil, and in many other
fundamental doctrines."
