Cases Of Conscience; Or, Lessons In Morals: For The Use Of The Laity by Pascal the Younger is a polemical tract written in a Protestant register that critiques Roman Catholic doctrine and ecclesiastical power. The work opens with a Prefatory Letter addressed to the English statesman, arguing against the influence of the Jesuits and the confessional system, and contending that true liberty and virtue arise from a genuine, scriptural faith rather than from Rome’s authority. The main sections trace a history of the Society of Jesus, expose its codes of law and morality, and analyze how casuistry, obedience, and the confessional can consolidate political and religious control over individuals and states. The author argues that Rome’s conception of church and state denies civil sovereignty and individual conscience, advocates liberty of conscience, and rejects papal infallibility in moral matters. The volume combines history, theology, and social critique in a sustained anti-Catholic polemic.
