Synopsis
Excerpt from Mornings Among the Jesuits at Rome
IN committing the following pages to the press, it is felt that some few words of introduction are required, to account for their origin, and to explain their nature.
Having visited Rome, not only to gratify and indulge my taste for the arts among the most exquisite sculptures and the most beautiful pictures, the greatest miracles of art in the world, - having visited that city, not only that I might look at the ruins, the glorious ruins, of the temples and baths and palaces of the conquerors of the world, and to wander among those scenes where lived and walked the heroes of the past but also and chiefly that'i might see and study the true genius of the Church of Rome, and judge for myself as to her nature and character, I felt it to be my duty to avail myself of every means in my power to obtain information on the subject.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the author's time in Rome, where he had the opportunity to meet and talk to many members of the priesthood, including a series of conversations with members of the Jesuit Order. The author's conversations with the Jesuits were frank and open, with the Jesuits attempting to answer his objections to Catholicism and to persuade him to join their communion. The author was impressed by the learning, zeal, and moral lives of the Jesuits but was ultimately unconvinced by their arguments. The author observed that the Jesuits were highly disciplined and obedient to their superiors and that this obedience was based on the belief that it was the highest Christian virtue. The book is an interesting and informative account of the beliefs and practices of the Jesuits and provides a unique insight into the inner workings of one of the most powerful religious orders in the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331562009_0
