Catholic Antidote is a book written by William Edward Heygate and published in 1858. The book is a response to the Oxford Movement, which was a group of Anglican theologians who sought to bring the Church of England closer to the Catholic Church. Heygate was a staunch opponent of the Oxford Movement and sought to provide an antidote to what he saw as the dangerous influence of Catholicism on the Anglican Church.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a critique of the Oxford Movement and its leaders, including John Henry Newman, who later converted to Catholicism. Heygate argues that the Oxford Movement was a threat to the Protestant character of the Church of England and that its leaders were attempting to bring about a reunion with the Catholic Church.The second part of the book is a defense of the Protestant faith and the Anglican Church. Heygate argues that the Protestant Reformation was a necessary corrective to the corruption and abuses of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. He also defends the Anglican Church against accusations of being a mere compromise between Catholicism and Protestantism.Overall, Catholic Antidote is a polemical work that reflects the religious controversies of its time. It provides insight into the debates between Catholics and Protestants in the 19th century and the challenges faced by the Church of England in defining its identity in the wake of the Reformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
