Reasons For Belief In Judicial Astrology: Comprising Some Advice To Students, And Remarks On The Dangerous Character Of Popish Priestcraft is a book written by William Sharp Cross in 1849. The book is a treatise on the subject of judicial astrology, which is the practice of using the positions of the planets and stars to predict events and outcomes. The author provides reasons for why he believes in this practice and offers advice to students who wish to learn more about it. In addition to discussing astrology, the book also includes remarks on the dangerous character of Popish priestcraft. The term Popish refers to the Roman Catholic Church, and priestcraft refers to the manipulation of religious beliefs for personal gain. The author argues that the Catholic Church is a dangerous institution that seeks to control people's beliefs and actions through the use of priestcraft.Overall, Reasons For Belief In Judicial Astrology is a unique combination of astrological theory and religious critique.
