The Confessional: A View of Romanism in Its Actual Principles, Aims, and Workings, Drawn Up Chiefly From Authoritative Papal Sources; And Earnestly ... of Christendom (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Confessional: A View of Romanism in Its Actual Principles, Aims, and Workings, Drawn Up Chiefly From Authoritative Papal Sources; And Earnestly Recommended to the Dispassionate Consideration of Christendom
IN preparing this Volume for the press, I have been actu4 ated by a stern and irresistible sense of duty. While a youth, I received, from residence in a Catholic country, impressions very unfavourable to the moral and domestic influences of Romanism. These impressions, and the recollection of their sources, have never left my mind. For many years, however, they were kept down, under a feeling which was shared by very many with whom I acted in public life - to the effect that Romanism had partaken of the general improvement of the age. The year 1848 did much to undeceive me. My mind once awakened td the real character of the papacy, I resolved to study the whole subject carefully for myself. With this view, I pro cured the best of the most recent expositions of Romanism, always giving preference to such as were text-books in Romanist colleges, and to such as emanated directly either from the pope himself, or very high papal authorities. I began the study in doubt - half-believing, half-denying the dark catalogue of errors, falsities and misdeeds imputed to Rome -i terminate the study an unwilling but thorough convert. With much pain do I make the statement. It is forced from me by actual knowledge. That knowledge compels me to bear my testimony, and, as in the presence of God, I solemnly declare that Rome morally, spiritually and politically is the abomination OF desolation.
