Synopsis

Exploring the enduring clash between church power and personal conscience The volumes present historical narratives of the most notable persecutions sparked by intolerance within the Church of Rome, drawing on (in the author’s view) authoritative Catholic sources to illuminate how papal authority was challenged and resisted.

In these pages, readers encounter a critical look at how the papacy rose to temporal power through force and control, and how that power shaped harsh actions against those who refused its doctrines. The text situates key histories in England, Ireland, and France, tracing how persecution manifested across nations and centuries. It also argues that the patterns of intolerance persist, urging readers to consider the long reach of religious power in politics and society.

- A clear account of the rise of papal and royal authority and its impact on civil liberties
- Profiles of reformers and dissenters, and the punishments they faced
- Connections between church influence, state policy, and social conflict
- Context on how popular cultures and governments responded to perceived heresy

Ideal for readers of religious history, political history, and classic narratives of conflict between church and state, this edition helps illuminate a long and controversial chapter in Western history.
