The Idol Demolished By Its Own Priest

Mehr zum Buch

Challenging the doctrine of transubstantiation, James Sheridan Knowles critiques Cardinal Wiseman's lectures by arguing that the belief in the bread and wine becoming Christ's body and blood lacks scriptural support and constitutes idolatry. He also condemns the Catholic Church's use of Latin in Mass, advocating for services in the vernacular to enhance understanding and participation. This 1851 work serves as a significant historical document reflecting mid-19th century religious debates and offers a passionate defense of his views against established Church practices.
