Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the grievances and injustices faced by 18th-century Irish Catholics at the hands of the established Protestant clergy. The author, a Protestant lawyer, provides a searing exposà of the excessive and illegal tithes demanded by the clergy, their use of church courts to prosecute defaulters, and the collusion between the clergy and tithe proctors to extort money from the peasantry. The book argues that this system of oppression was not only unjust but also counterproductive, as it impoverished the peasantry and led to social unrest. The author's powerful indictment of the clergy's greed and hypocrisy helped galvanize support for reform and ultimately contributed to the disestablishment of the Irish Protestant Church in the 19th century.
