Why Did I Leave the Church of Rome?

Good, No marks in text. Light discoloration on paper wraps with previous owners name on cover and on title page. Light wear at edges of cover. 89 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm. . . . . . In this forthright spiritual autobiography, former Jesuit priest Luis Padrosa recounts the deeply personal journey that led him to renounce the Church of Rome after more than two decades within the Society of Jesus. Having served as a popular preacher and director of Loyola Institutes, Padrosa details his sincere Catholic upbringing, rigorous ecclesiastical training, and eventual conviction?borne of Scripture and conscience?that many Roman doctrines lacked clear foundation in the Gospels. Published in Belfast by the National Union of Protestants (Ireland) in association with the Spanish Christian Mission, this mid-20th-century edition stands as a classic Protestant testimony from a Spanish voice, offering a rare insider?s critique of Catholic teaching and practice during a period of heightened religious debate. Padrosa?s narrative blends candid reflection with theological argumentation, making it compelling reading for students of church history, Reformation studies, and personal faith journeys. In Very Good or better condition, this scarce hardcover preserves the urgency of a man who traded the security of the priesthood for the liberty of the Gospel, providing valuable historical context on 20th-century evangelical outreach to Catholic lands. An important addition to any collection of conversion literature or anti-Roman Catholic polemics.…
