Excerpt from Lectures on the Church: Delivered in St. Francis Xavier's Church, New York, 1870-'71 The following Lectures cannot lay claim to any great originality. They have been has tily written out from notes Collected irregu larly at different intervals of time. The trans lations of extracts from the Fathers have been pr1nc1pally taken from approved works, such as the Faith of Catholics, Allies' See of Peter, etc. And most of the other arguments employed may be found scattered through different books of controversy. The object a1med at in the Lectures has been to connect these arguments in such a form as might add to the force of the impression they are by themselves calculated to produce, in particu lar by the brief and simple explanation of cer tain incidental points of Catholic doctrine. St. Augustin s principle, that it is good to multi ply good books on the same subject, in order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"A brilliant book, which brings historical analysis of religion in American culture to a new level of insight and importance." —New York Times Book Review Catholicism and American Freedom is a groundbreaking historical account of the tensions (and occasional alliances) between Catholic and American understandings of a healthy society and the individual person, including dramatic conflicts over issues such as slavery, public education, economic reform, the movies, contraception, and abortion. Putting scandals in the Church and the media's response in a much larger context, this stimulating history is a model of nuanced scholarship and provocative reading.
