Publisher's Synopsis
""The History of Romanism"" is a comprehensive account of the development of the Roman Catholic Church from its early beginnings to modern times. Written by John Dowling, a Protestant minister, the book explores the various theological, political, and social factors that contributed to the rise of the Roman Catholic Church and its influence throughout history. Dowling examines the early Christian Church and the gradual emergence of the papacy, as well as the formation of various religious orders and the role of the Church in medieval Europe. He also delves into the controversies surrounding the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and the Council of Trent, as well as the Church's involvement in politics and the struggles for power in Europe. The book concludes with a discussion of the Church's role in the modern world, including its response to the challenges of secularism, modernism, and globalization.
