The Vatican Decrees In Their Bearing On Civil Allegiance (1875) - Henry Edward Manning - Bog

The Vatican Decrees In Their Bearing On Civil Allegiance is a book written by Henry Edward Manning in 1875. The book discusses the relationship between the Catholic Church and civil allegiance, particularly in the context of the Vatican Decrees of 1870. These decrees declared the infallibility of the Pope in matters of faith and morals, which raised concerns about the loyalty of Catholics to their respective governments. Manning, a prominent English convert to Catholicism and Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, argues that Catholics can maintain their allegiance to their country while also recognizing the authority of the Pope. He also addresses criticisms of the Vatican Decrees and defends their theological significance. The book is considered an important work in the history of Catholicism and its relationship with politics and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
