Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical document that explores the turbulent world of the Reformation in 16th century England. Through a satirical dialogue between two fictional Franciscan friars, the author offers a vivid and critical look at the state of the English Church during this period of profound change. The book takes the death of the Catholic Mass as its starting point, framing the conversation around the question of where the Mass should be buried, a metaphor for the demise of Catholic authority. The dialogue then expands into a scathing critique of the hierarchy, clergy, and monastic orders, particularly focusing on the excesses of Cardinal Wolsey and the Observant friars. Through sharp wit and biting satire, the author exposes the corruption, hypocrisy, and moral decay within the English church. The book offers a glimpse into the social and religious anxieties of a nation grappling with the impact of the Reformation. It is a powerful indictment of the existing power structures, foreshadowing the subsequent dissolution of the monasteries, and serves as a testament to the growing influence of Protestant ideas in England. The book's insights into the turbulent world of religious reform make it a valuable resource for understanding the complex dynamics of this era. 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.
