Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a scathing critique of Roman Catholicism, specifically focusing on its influence in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines during a time of great social and political upheaval. The author, writing from a Protestant perspective, exposes what he sees as the dark underbelly of the Catholic Church, using vivid anecdotes and historical accounts to paint a picture of a faith that thrives on ignorance, oppression, and, most shockingly, the abuse of power by its clergy. The book delves into the secret oaths taken by priests, explores the power of the confessional box, and examines how Catholicism's influence hinders education and promotes an unquestioning subservience to the Pope. The author argues that this system not only subjugates individuals but also undermines the principles of democracy and freedom. This powerful and often controversial work is a potent reminder of the long history of conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism and how religious beliefs have shaped political and social structures.
