Rome or Reason? is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll, a prominent American lawyer, orator, and agnostic in the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that critique the Catholic Church and its teachings, particularly its dogmatic approach to religion and its historical record of persecution and oppression. Ingersoll argues that reason and science should be the basis of belief and that blind faith and superstition only lead to ignorance and intolerance. He also addresses specific issues such as the doctrine of papal infallibility, the Inquisition, and the role of religion in politics. Despite its controversial subject matter, Rome or Reason? was widely read and debated when it was first published in 1887 and remains a significant work in the history of American freethought.THIS 98 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
