Excerpt from The Papacy: The Idea and Its Exponents According to the account in the last chapter of the Gospel according to St. John, the risen Lord said to St. Peter, Feed My lambs! And twice He repeated it with emphasis, Feed My sheep! That also is a legend. But if ever a legend contained a truth these words do. They reveal the inmost meaning of the history of the Papacy. Every Pope who has taken his office seriously has looked upon it as the office of Pastor to the ¿ock of the faithful entrusted to him by God and His Anointed in the succession of St. Peter.
