For the advancement of a general, globalist jurisprudence, the legal achievement of the Papal Revolution is pre-eminent. The Papal Revolution instituted a mode of law with the possibility for universal application yet subjective allegiance across diverse jurisdictions in Western Europe. That we might there discover the key to a globalist jurisprudence so rusted yet capable of opening new doors may not be surprising. ‘[I]n no other age, since the classical days of Roman law, has so large a part of the sum total of intellectual endeavour been devoted to jurisprudence.’

Grand in scale, the new mode of law was conceived to coexist with other legal systems, in the context of a legal vision for world redemption. That is not to say that the everyday reality of canon and civil law met these ideals. Western legal science nonetheless evolved with that encoded facility. The crucial ‘ultimate reality and meaning’ which legitimated this social system was the Judeo-Christian God. Miracles and holiness demonstrated by leaders back then occupied a similar status to politicians today justifying their worthiness by delivering economic prosperity, highlighting the nature of the two millennial authorities.
