Popery Not Catholicism, In Two Parts: Six Lectures On Infallibility, Vindiciae Laicae is a book written by Benjamin William Mathias in 1851. The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of six lectures on infallibility, in which Mathias argues against the Catholic Church's claim to infallibility. He contends that the Catholic Church's claim to infallibility is not supported by the Bible or by historical evidence.In the second part of the book, Vindiciae Laicae, Mathias argues against the Catholic Church's claim to be the only true church. He asserts that the Catholic Church is not the only true church, and that other Christian denominations are also valid. Mathias also criticizes the Catholic Church for its practices and beliefs, including the veneration of saints and the use of indulgences.Overall, Popery Not Catholicism is a critical examination of the Catholic Church's teachings and practices, and an argument for a more inclusive and tolerant approach to Christianity.
