Excerpt from The Vatican Decrees in Their Bearing on Civil Allegiance: A Political Expostulation
IN the prosecution Of a purpose not polemical but pacific, I have been led to employ words which belong, more or less, to the region of religious controversy; and which, though they were themselves few, seem to require, from the various feelings they have aroused, that I should carefully define, elucidate, and defend them. The task is not Of a kind agreeable to me; but I proceed to perform it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the significant conflict between the British public and the Catholic Church in the 19th century. The author, a prominent political figure of the time, responds to the widespread public alarm at the perceived growth of Catholicism and the perceived threat it posed to the British way of life. The author presents a series of propositions arguing that the Catholic Church had abandoned its tradition of doctrinal consistency, instead embracing change and violence, and had sought to curtail freedom of thought and action. They also argue that the Church demanded that its converts surrender their moral and mental freedom, placing their loyalty to the Church above their civil duties. This fascinating book sheds light on a pivotal moment in British history, offering insights into the complex relationship between religion and the state, and the ongoing struggle for civil liberties and religious freedom.
