No Popery: Stanzas, In Two Cantos is a book of poetry written by Verax and published in 1854. The title of the book is a reference to the anti-Catholic sentiment prevalent in England at the time. The book is divided into two cantos, or sections, and contains a total of 66 stanzas.The first canto focuses on the history of the Catholic Church, from its early days to the present. Verax portrays the Church as a corrupt and oppressive institution, responsible for numerous atrocities throughout history. He also criticizes the Church's teachings on celibacy, the veneration of saints, and the use of sacraments.The second canto is more focused on contemporary issues, particularly the Catholic Church's influence in England. Verax accuses the Church of trying to undermine the Protestant faith and of attempting to exert undue influence on the government. He also criticizes the Church's involvement in education, arguing that it is attempting to indoctrinate young people with its beliefs.Throughout the book, Verax uses a variety of poetic techniques, including rhyme, meter, and repetition. He also employs a sarcastic and satirical tone, mocking the Catholic Church and its practices. The book was well-received by many in England at the time, particularly those who shared Verax's anti-Catholic views.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
