Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Claims of the Roman See to Supremacy: Disproved by an Examination of the Testimony of Catholic Antiquity"" written by Charles Egbert Kennet in 1869, is a critical examination of the claims made by the Roman Catholic Church regarding its supremacy over other churches. The author argues that these claims are not supported by the evidence of Catholic antiquity, which he examines in detail.Kennet provides a historical overview of the development of the Roman Catholic Church and its claims to supremacy, tracing the origins of these claims back to the early church. He then examines the testimony of Catholic antiquity, including the writings of the early church fathers and the decisions of church councils, to show that there is no clear evidence to support the claims of the Roman See.The author also addresses the arguments made by defenders of the Roman Catholic Church, and provides counterarguments based on his examination of the evidence. He concludes that the claims of the Roman See to supremacy are not supported by Catholic antiquity, and that the church should abandon these claims in order to promote unity and cooperation among different Christian denominations.Overall, ""The Claims of the Roman See to Supremacy"" is a scholarly and well-researched work that provides a critical perspective on the history of the Roman Catholic Church and its claims to supremacy. It will be of interest to scholars and students of church history, as well as anyone interested in the relationship between different Christian denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
