"Since Jesus of Nazareth, ... the anointing of princes is changed from the head to the arm; but the sacramental anointing is still maintained upon the head of the bishop, because he, in his episcopal office, represents the person of the Head. There is, however, a distinction between the anointing of the bishop and of the prince, because the head of the bishop is anointed with the ointment, but the arm of the prince is rubbed with oil, that it may be shown what a difference exists between the authority of the bishop and the power of the prince."—Phillips, ii. 621—quoting Bennetti's Priv. S. Petri Vindiciæ.
"Now, here are two things to be noted. First, that the emperor holds an office of human creation—the Pontiff an office of divine creation. Secondly, that the office of divine creation is for a higher end than the office which is of human origin."—Cardinal Manning, "Vatican Decrees," p. 68.
