Popery: The Foe Of The Church And Of The Republic is a book written by Joseph S. Van Dyke that delves into the history and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, also known as Popery. The book argues that Popery is not only a threat to the Church but also to the Republic, as it promotes a system of government that is incompatible with the principles of democracy and freedom. The author begins by tracing the origins of Popery, from its early days as a persecuted minority religion to its rise as a dominant force in Europe and beyond. He then examines the various doctrines and practices of Popery, including the veneration of saints, the use of indulgences, and the authority of the Pope. Throughout the book, Van Dyke argues that Popery is a corrupt and oppressive system that seeks to control every aspect of its followers' lives, from their spiritual beliefs to their political allegiances. He also highlights the dangers of Popery to the Republic, citing historical examples of the Church's interference in political affairs and its opposition to democratic values. Overall, Popery: The Foe Of The Church And Of The Republic is a passionate and thought-provoking critique of the Roman Catholic Church and its impact on society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, politics, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
