Popery Unmasked is a book written by Conyers Middleton in 1744. It is based on a letter written by Middleton during his visit to Rome, where he observed the practices of the Catholic Church. The book argues that there is a deep connection between the practices of the Catholic Church and the pagan religions that preceded it. Middleton uses evidence from history, literature, and art to demonstrate this connection. He argues that many of the rituals and beliefs of the Catholic Church have their roots in pagan religions, and that the Church has adopted these practices in order to appeal to a wider audience. The book is a scathing critique of the Catholic Church and its practices, and it was controversial at the time of its publication. However, it has since become an important work in the history of religious criticism and has influenced many subsequent works on the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
