Cardinal James Gibbons' famous and eloquent defense of Catholicism
stands as one of the finest religious documents of his era,
employing the Bible and devotional wisdom much more than arcane or
complex theology. Writing in the 19th century, Cardinal Gibbons was
moved to author this book after working for years in the
priesthood. Seeking to remind readers of the vitality and merits of
Catholicism, Gibbons attempts to both clarify the principles of the
faith and spurn unjust criticisms. Religious concepts such as The
Holy Trinity, and the important relationship the Bible has to the
life of the church is investigated. The festivals and ritual
sacraments that Catholics undertake, such as the taking of bread
and wine to symbolize the flesh and the blood of Christ, are
described in detail for their founding principles. Other traits of
Catholicism, such as celibacy among the priesthood and the customs
of matrimony, are explained.
