Amen." His holiness then pronounces this prayer : " May the holy apostles Peter and Paul, in whose power and au- thority we confide, intercede for us with the Lord. By the prayers and merits of the blessed Mary, always a vir- gin, of the blessed Michael, the archangel, of the blessed John the Baptist, and the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints; may Almighty God have mercy upon you, and mav Jesus Christ, having remitted all your sins, lead you to lite everlasting. Amen." "May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant you indulgence, absolution, and remission of all your sins, space for true and fruitful re- pentance, a heart always penitent, and amendment of life, the grace and consolation of the Holy Spirit, and final per- severance in good works." Two keys are also given him in the church of St. John Lateran. (See also Wesleyan Mag. 1851.)
IV. List of the Human Popes.— In the article Papacy we have referred to the uncertainty prevailing in regard to the first bishops of Rome. Roman Catholic writers themselves quite generally admit that the statements of ancient Church-writers on the subject are entirely irreconcilable, and that it is impossible to establish with any degree of certainty the order in which they fol- lowed each other, the years of their accession to the see of Rome, and the year of their death. The following table is given from the Roman almanac entitled Ge- rarchia Cattolica (with the original names of the popes, and notices of antipopes, from other sources), and al- though it is so uncritical in its first part that even the Roman historians do not adopt it, it is of some value, as presenting the claims of the Church of Rome :
