In this book, which traces the papacy's developing life from Clement of Rome (A.D. 96) up through the final years of Leo the Great (A.D. 454), Luke Rivington seeks to illustrate the position taken by and attributed to the bishop of Rome within the early Church. Rather than craft an apologetic tirade by stringing together distant events to support his own position, Rivington prefers a constructive form. Working more as historian than apologist, he sensitively traces in lesser events a tendency that he sets out to prove by great events, to reinforce by probable arguments what has been proved by certain arguments, and to illustrate by slight indications what is also proved by clear traces. So doing, he argues for a form of "papal supremacy" within the early Church that was not only claimed and wielded but also accepted. There were moments of controversy, but Rivington sets these in the context of wider events so that, rather than proof-texting his pro-papal argument, he gives a history in which the role of the papacy is clarified. He book therefore remains of interest to the contemporary reader, whatever his or her point of view.

Excerpt from The Primitive Church and the See of Peter Of course we desire to convert all men - especially our own countrymen, as loving them best - to the Catholic Religion. Could it be otherwise? We believe the Catholic religion to be the one only true religion, founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock. We should fail, then, in love for God did we not strive to extend His Kingdom, which is His Church upon earth; and in love for our neighbour, did we not endeavour to persuade him to become one of God's liegemen and a sharer with us in the Divine life of the Faith and of the Sacraments. It is no matter of doubt or of indifference that is at stake, but absolutely the most vital, the most personal, the eternal interest of man. But any kind of conversion will not do. The conversion must be real, genuine, and based on solid grounds. That is to say, it must rest not only upon conviction, but upon a right conviction, a conviction rooted in the right fundamental principle.
