Popery Truly Stated, And Briefly Confuted

Popery Truly Stated, And Briefly Confuted: In Three Parts (1727) is a book written by Joseph Trapp that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, commonly referred to as ""Popery"" during the 18th century. The book is divided into three parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of Popery. Part one provides an overview of the history and organization of the Catholic Church, including its hierarchy, liturgy, and sacraments. Part two focuses on the theological differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, particularly in regards to the doctrines of justification and the role of the Church in salvation. Part three examines the practical implications of Catholic beliefs, such as the veneration of saints and the use of religious images and relics.Throughout the book, Trapp argues against the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church, citing biblical and historical evidence to support his claims. He also critiques the influence of Catholicism on society, particularly in regards to its perceived authoritarianism and intolerance of dissent.Overall, Popery Truly Stated, And Briefly Confuted: In Three Parts is a comprehensive and critical examination of the Catholic Church during the 18th century, and provides insight into the ongoing tensions between Catholics and Protestants during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
