Excerpt from The Pope and the Council
We have written under a deep sense of anxiety in presence of a serious danger, threatening primarily the internal condition of the Catholic Church, and then as is inevitable with what affects a corporation includ ing 180 millions of men - destined to assume vaster dimensions, and take the shape of a great social pro blem, which cannot be without its influence on eccle siastical communities and nations outside the Catholic Church.
This danger does not date from yesterday, and did not begin with the proclamation of the Council. For some twenty-four years the reactionary movement in the Catholic Church, which is now swollen to a mighty torrent, has been manifesting itself, and now it is pre paring, like an advancing flood-tide, to take possession of the whole organic life of the Church by means of this Council.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous history of the Catholic Church, particularly the rise of papal power and the ongoing debate surrounding the concept of papal infallibility. The author, writing from a liberal Catholic perspective, explores the tensions between traditional Church doctrines and the emerging trends of modernity, highlighting the conflicts between papal authority and the growing calls for reform within the Church. The book dissects the Syllabus of Errors, a document issued by Pope Pius IX, and examines its implications for the relationship between Church and State. The author argues that the Syllabus represents a reactionary attempt to solidify the Church's power and to reject any notion of reconciliation with modern ideas of freedom, democracy, and individual conscience. The book's insights are particularly relevant to the era in which it was written, a time of great social and political upheaval across Europe. The author's detailed analysis of papal power, the Syllabus of Errors, and the rise of Ultramontanism provides a valuable historical perspective on the Catholic Church's struggle to navigate the complexities of modern society.
