It must in justice be admitted, however, that the list of Roman bishops has by far the

preeminence in age, completeness, integrity of succession, consistency of doctrine and policy,

above every similar catalogue, not excepting those of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and

Constantinople; and this must carry great weight with those who ground their views chiefly on

external testimonies, without being able to rise to the free Protestant conception of Christianity and

its history of development on earth.



§ 52. List of the Roman Bishops and Roman Emperors during the First Three Centuries.

From the lists of Eusebius (till Silvester), Jaffé (Regesta), Potthast (Bibliotheca Hist. Medii

The whole number of popes, from the Apostle Peter to Leo XIII. (1878) is two hundred and

sixty-three. This would allow about seven years on an average to each papal reign. The traditional

twenty-five years of Peter were considered the maximum which none of his successors was permitted

to reach, except Pius IX., the first infallible pope, who reigned twenty-seven years (1846-1878).

The average term of office of the archbishops of Canterbury is fourteen years.
