Publisher's Synopsis
The Pope and the Revolution is a sermon delivered by John Henry Newman at the Oratory Church in Birmingham on October 7, 1866. The sermon discusses the relationship between the Catholic Church and the political upheavals of the time, particularly the revolutions of 1848. Newman argues that the Church has a duty to resist the revolutionary spirit and uphold traditional values, and that the Pope is a key figure in this struggle. He also addresses criticisms of the Church's role in politics and defends the Pope's authority. The sermon reflects Newman's conservative views and his belief in the importance of the Catholic Church as a stabilizing force in society. This book provides insight into the religious and political debates of the mid-19th century and the role of the Catholic Church in shaping European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
