Publisher's Synopsis
Letters to M. Gondon, on the Destructive Character of the Church of Rome: Both in Religion and Polity is a book written by Christopher Wordsworth and published in 1847. The book is a collection of letters addressed to M. Gondon, in which the author argues against the destructive nature of the Roman Catholic Church, both in terms of its religious beliefs and its political influence. Wordsworth, a prominent Anglican bishop, draws on historical and theological arguments to make his case against the Church of Rome. He argues that the Church's emphasis on tradition and authority has led to a distortion of the true teachings of Christianity, and that its hierarchical structure has resulted in corruption and abuse of power. The book is divided into several letters, each addressing a different aspect of the Church's destructive character. Wordsworth discusses the Church's opposition to the Bible and its teachings, its emphasis on ritual and sacraments over faith and personal relationship with God, and its suppression of individual liberty and freedom of thought. Overall, Letters to M. Gondon, on the Destructive Character of the Church of Rome is a passionate critique of the Roman Catholic Church from a Protestant perspective. It provides a detailed and well-researched analysis of the Church's beliefs and practices, and argues for the superiority of the Anglican Church as a more authentic expression of Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
