Publisher's Synopsis
The Impossibility Of The Immaculate Conception As An Article Of Faith: In Reply To Several Works Which Have Appeared On That Subject Of Late Years (1855) is a book written by Jean Joseph Laborde. The book is a response to several works that have been published on the subject of the Immaculate Conception in recent years. The Immaculate Conception is a doctrine of the Catholic Church which holds that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. Laborde argues that this doctrine is impossible to reconcile with the teachings of the Bible and the early Church Fathers. He presents a detailed analysis of the historical and theological arguments for and against the Immaculate Conception, and concludes that it cannot be considered an article of faith. The book is written in a scholarly and erudite style, and is intended for an audience of theologians, scholars, and other interested readers.To Which Is Added The Author�������s Letter To The Pope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
