The Idol Demolished By Its Own Priest: An Answer To Cardinal Wiseman�������s Lectures On Transubstantiation (1851) is a book written by James Sheridan Knowles. The book is a response to Cardinal Wiseman's lectures on transubstantiation, which were given in 1850. In the lectures, Wiseman argued that the bread and wine used in the Catholic Mass are transformed into the body and blood of Christ through the process of transubstantiation. Knowles, a playwright and actor, disagreed with Wiseman's arguments and wrote this book as a rebuttal.The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a critique of Wiseman's lectures, in which Knowles argues that the doctrine of transubstantiation is not supported by the Bible or by reason. The second part is a historical analysis of the development of transubstantiation as a doctrine within the Catholic Church. Knowles argues that the doctrine was not fully developed until the thirteenth century and that it was not universally accepted until the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century.The third part of the book is a discussion of the implications of transubstantiation for the Catholic Church. Knowles argues that the doctrine has led to a number of abuses, including the sale of indulgences and the worship of the Eucharist as an idol. He also argues that the doctrine has contributed to the division between Catholics and Protestants.Overall, The Idol Demolished By Its Own Priest: An Answer To Cardinal Wiseman�������s Lectures On Transubstantiation (1851) is a critical examination of the doctrine of transubstantiation and its role in the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
