Rome Or Reason?

By Robert G. Ingersoll

Book Overview

""Rome or Reason?"" is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll, an American lawyer, politician, and orator, in the late 19th century. In this book, Ingersoll questions the legitimacy of the Roman Catholic Church and its doctrines. He argues that many of the Church's beliefs and practices are illogical and irrational, and that they are based on superstition rather than reason. Ingersoll also critiques the Church's history, pointing out instances of corruption, violence, and intolerance. He argues that the Church has been a hindrance to progress and enlightenment, and that its influence should be minimized in modern society. Despite its controversial subject matter, ""Rome or Reason?"" was widely read and discussed in its time, and it remains a classic work of freethought literature.THIS 98 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
