A Plain and Rational Account of the Catholic Faith (Classic Reprint): With a Preface and Appendix, in Vindication of Catholic Morals, from Old ... &c.; To Which Is Annexed, the Reforme - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore Catholic teachings on indulgences, merits, and salvation with clear, accessible arguments.
This edition presents a historical, theological defense of Catholic morals and practice. It engages with key questions about forgiveness, the role of penance, and how God’s grace works in the life of believers, using scriptural references and early church authorities to illustrate a consistent Catholic perspective.
Readers will encounter explanations of how merits relate to God’s promises, the nature of penance, and the church’s authority to guide the faithful. The work also situates these topics within debates that arose during the Reformation era, offering a careful, text-based examination rather than modern summaries alone.
- How the Catholic view defines merit and grace, and how they relate to justification
- The distinction between forgiveness of sin and the remission of temporal penalties
- Arguments about indulgences, purification, and the role of saints in intercession
- How scriptural passages and historical councils inform Catholic teaching
Ideal for readers interested in Catholic history, theological debates, and historical defenses of Catholic morals.
