Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Provincial Letters: Moral Teachings of the Jesuit Fathers Opposed to the Church of Rome and Latin Vulgate Events recently transpired throughout this continent are ample reasons for issuing an edition of this celebrated work. The author - whose family ranked with the nobility of France, liberally educated, acquainted with the Jesuit Fathers resident in Paris, familiar with the approved publications of their society - was a writer and mathematician of consummate ability, and still more valuably distinguished by his unblemished morality, devout piety, strict and lifelong attention to his religious duties, and died with solemn rite in the communion of the Church of Rome. He pours into this volume an erudition, research and rationale, that won for it a continental and an enduring popularity, created a spirit of investigation in the circles of the court and doctors of the Sorbonne, which resulted in the expulsion of the entire Jesuit body from France, Canada, and dependencies. The European nations in succession followed the example of France and Italy in their suppression and banishment. The present race of Jesuits, boasting their descent from Loyola, inheriting the mediæval teaching and practice of the Order now held in partial abeyance, are employing art, science, literature, diplomacy and wealth in their Machiavellian policy to re-establish their one ideal, Papal supremacy - a supremacy by divine right above all revealed law, limiting the liberty and defacing the dignity of redeemed individual men, and controlling all earthly power, democratic, imperial, regal and ecclesiastic, in property, teaching and practice. This antidotal and admirable volume is respectfully dedicated to the cultivated intellect and ever-brightening intelligence of our national community.
