Catholic Antidote (1858)

By William Edward Heygate

Book Overview

Catholic Antidote is a book written by William Edward Heygate and published in 1858. The book is a response to the growing influence of Catholicism in England during the 19th century. Heygate, a prominent Anglican theologian and apologist, presents a detailed analysis of Catholic doctrine and practices, arguing that they are incompatible with the teachings of the Bible and the principles of the Protestant Reformation. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a specific aspect of Catholicism, such as the authority of the Pope, the doctrine of transubstantiation, and the veneration of saints and relics. Heygate provides a thorough critique of each of these topics, drawing on a wide range of sources including the Bible, historical documents, and the writings of Protestant theologians. In addition to its theological arguments, Catholic Antidote also includes a historical overview of the Catholic Church, tracing its development from the early Christian era to the present day. Heygate examines the role of the Church in the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and the modern era, highlighting the ways in which Catholicism has diverged from the original teachings of Christianity. Overall, Catholic Antidote is a comprehensive and well-researched critique of Catholicism from a Protestant perspective. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of Christianity, and sheds light on the ongoing debate between Catholics and Protestants that continues to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
