Bonomelli draws on his extensive knowledge of Catholic theology and history to provide a thorough analysis of these practices and their origins. He also offers suggestions for how these practices can be reformed and revitalized to better serve the needs of modern believers.Overall, ""On Religious Worship And Some Defects In Popular Devotions"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about religious practice and to consider new ways of approaching worship and devotion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
