9780428042264 - Mémoires Adressés Au Conseil D'état De La République De Genève Classic Reprint by Louis Gaussen (1 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents arguments against the revocation of the author's pastoral functions and prohibition from teaching in the churches and chapels of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. The author argues that the bodies that judged the case against him were illegitimate, that the process followed was contrary to the laws of the prosecution's country as well as the laws of justice, and that the arguments made against him were without merit. The author leverages the nation's history and politics, discusses church law, governance, and mandates, and positions the case against him as part of larger societal conflicts. The thrust of the author's argument is that the effort to remove him from his post was about the authority of the civil government versus the authority of the church, and that if he were to be removed, it would be the church overstepping its bounds.
