Publisher's Synopsis
The Convention of the 15th September and the Encyclic of the 8th December (1865) is a book written by Felix Dupanloup. The book is a historical account of the events that took place in 1865, when the Catholic Church was facing a crisis due to the changing political and social landscape of Europe. Dupanloup was a prominent French bishop who played a key role in the negotiations that led to the Convention of the 15th September, which sought to reconcile the Church with the modern world. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Convention and its significance in the context of the Church's relationship with secular authorities. It also examines the Encyclic of the 8th December, which was issued by Pope Pius IX in response to the Convention and addressed some of the concerns raised by the Church's critics. Overall, the book offers a fascinating insight into a pivotal moment in the history of the Catholic Church and its attempts to adapt to the changing times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
