Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of satirical essays that criticize the High-Church clergy of the early 18th century. The author, a self-proclaimed "Independent Whig," argues that the clergy have corrupted true religion by promoting ignorance, superstition, and blind obedience to authority. He attacks the clergy's use of fasting, penance, and religious festivals as tools to control the minds of the people and maintain their own power. The author also criticizes the clergy's intolerance of dissent, their love of luxury, and their willingness to use violence to suppress their opponents. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the religious and political debates of the time and remains relevant today as a critique of religious extremism and the dangers of giving too much power to religious leaders. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334263859_0
