The Popish Mass; or, The Conformity of the Church of Rome With Paganism, Proved From Popish and Heathen Authors; With an Appendix on the Style of Scri
In "The Popish Mass," Andrew Meagher argues the controversial thesis that the Catholic Mass bears striking resemblances to ancient pagan rituals. Drawing from both Catholic and pagan texts, Meagher meticulously presents his case, challenging the perceived uniqueness of Catholic traditions. This edition includes an appendix that discusses the style of Scripture, transubstantiation, auricular confession, and extreme unction, offering additional layers to Meagher's central argument.
Originally published in 1823, this work provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious debates of the early 19th century. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of religious thought, comparative religion, and the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason. Meagher's detailed analysis invites readers to consider the historical and cultural influences that have shaped religious practices.
