Publisher's Synopsis
The Faith of Our Fathers is a book written by James Gibbons, an American Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. The book is a comprehensive study of the history, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic Church. It covers topics such as the sacraments, the papacy, the role of the Church in society, and the relationship between faith and reason. Gibbons also discusses the challenges faced by Catholics in America, including anti-Catholicism and the separation of church and state. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. It is a timeless classic that has been widely read and respected since its publication in 1876.1877. Being a plain exposition and vindication of the church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The object of this volume is to present, in a plain and practical form, an exposition and a vindication of the principal tenets of the Catholic Church. It substantially embodies the instructions and discourses delivered by Rev. Gibbons before mixed congregations in Virginia and North Carolina. His chief aim was to bring the truths of the Catholic faith to our separated brethren, who generally accept the scripture as the only source of authority in religious matters, and he endeavored to fortify his statements by abundant reference to the sacred text.
