Romish Rites, Offices, and Legends

First published in 1871, this historical expose of the Roman Catholic Church's rituals and traditions offers a scathing critique of what the author views as idolatrous and superstitious practices. From the use of holy water to the veneration of saints, the author pulls back the curtain on many of Catholicism's most treasured customs. Written in a tone of righteous indignation, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into Victorian-era religious controversy.
