Excerpt from Notes on Religion
I call them abuses, one might more prop erly call them uses for they were simply devices which were useful, indeed necessary to the church's supremacy. The first of these abuses was the incorporation into the Catholic church of the Old Roman religion, the accept ance by the church of the pomp and ritual which formed an historic part of the Roman imagination. This ecclesiastical pomp with its elaborate ceremonies was modeled upon classic tradition. From the point of view of historic continuity the successorship of the Roman Catholic Church to the Roman Empire is the most interesting fact in history. The old Ro man ritual, the Roman spirit of obedience, the Roman worship of external display, and the Roman passion for universal domination have been delivered over to the modern world in unbroken continuity. Yet, of course, all of these things have come to occupy towards the modern world a strange and incongruous rela tion.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and philosophical influence of the Roman Catholic Church on Western Europe, beginning with the emergence of the Church in the Roman Empire. The author traces the development of papal authority, indulgence, and dogma, highlighting their political motivations and their impact on European society. The author argues that the Church's claims to absolute control, rooted in biblical interpretation, led to a system of taxation and regulation that enabled the Church to maintain its dominance despite internal struggles. The book also examines the role of the Jesuit Order in reinforcing papal authority and fueling the Protestant Reformation. Overall, this book offers a critical analysis of the Roman Catholic Church's influence, arguing that it has often been driven by worldly considerations rather than spiritual ones. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
