Explains the basic tenets of the Catholic Faith and why we hold
them. Delves into the historical background of virtually everything
people find hard to understand about our Religion, such as priestly
celibacy, sacred images, the Church and the Bible, the primacy of
Peter, Communion under one kind, invocation of the Saints, etc.
First published in 1876, when there was much anti- Catholic
sentiment in the U.S., it sold 1.4 million copies in 40 years and
has been reprinted many times since.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1877 Edition.
The Faith of Our Fathers: A Plain Exposition and Vindication of the
Church Founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book published in 1876
by archbishop James Gibbons, which became a best-selling conversion
manual in the United States and by 1980 was in its 111th printing.
In his 1917 preface to the 83rd edition, the Cardinal noted that
"since the first edition appeared, in 1876 up to the present time,
fourteen hundred thousand copies have been published and the
circulation of the book is constantly increasing." The work has
been translated into nearly all the languages of Europe. Well-known
agnostic, literary critic and fellow Baltimorean H. L. Mencken
wrote, in his survey of religion Treatise on the Gods, that "the
best exposition of Catholic doctrine is probably The Faith of our
Fathers', by the late Cardinal Gibbons."
