The Plundered Church: Or The Woes Of Poor Clergymen is a book written by Bryan O'Malley in 1880. The book is a critique of the financial and social status of clergymen in Ireland during the 19th century. O'Malley argues that the church, as an institution, has been plundered by the wealthy and powerful, leaving the poor clergymen without adequate resources to carry out their duties. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the plight of poor clergymen. O'Malley discusses the inadequate salaries of clergymen, the high cost of living in Ireland, the lack of support from their congregations, and the corruption within the church hierarchy. O'Malley's writing is passionate and emotive, reflecting the anger and frustration felt by many clergymen at the time. He argues that the church has become a tool for the wealthy to maintain their power and control over the poor, and that the true message of Christianity has been lost in the pursuit of wealth and status. The Plundered Church: Or The Woes Of Poor Clergymen is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of Irish history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the church in Ireland, social justice, and the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
