Book Overview

""The Church of Rome in Her Primitive Purity, Compared with the Church of Rome at the Present Day"" is a book written by John Henry Hopkins in 1839. The book compares the early Christian church in Rome with the contemporary Roman Catholic Church. Hopkins examines the differences between the two institutions, including the role of the Pope, the use of sacraments, and the practice of confession. He argues that the early church was more focused on spiritual purity and less on the material wealth and power of the church hierarchy.

Hopkins provides a critical analysis of the contemporary Catholic Church and its practices, while also offering suggestions for how the church could return to its original purity. Overall, ""The Church of Rome in Her Primitive Purity, Compared with the Church of Rome at the Present Day"" is a thought-provoking examination of the history and evolution of the Catholic Church.Being A Candid Examination Of Her Claims To Universal Dominion; Addressed, In The Spirit Of Christian Kindness, To The Roman Hierarchy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
