This is a novel about the Catholic Church. Excerpt from the Author's Preface: "His subject is one of absorbing interest, for he writes in the hope of being read. Meanwhile, he can conscientiously declare that every line of his pages is penetrated with a profound veneration for whatever is venerable, though, in the interests of religion itself, he has suffered no false charity to deter him from denouncing those shameful proceedings by which it has been compromised and disgraced. Nor is he answerable for this severity. The blame of it attaches to the authors of the scandals, and not to the man who has had the courage to expose them.". Book. Book Condition: Very Good.
