The Relations of the Church to Society Edmund J O'Reilly S J

Clear, exact and perfectly orthodox, Father O'Reilly explains the whole of Catholic doctrine about the relations of Church and State, particularly those points that are most contested by the Church's enemies or least understood by uninstructed Catholics. The explanation of the Church's traditional attitude to religious liberty, the theological explanation of the Great Western Schism, the precise extent of the infallibility of the Pope and of the Church are of particular interest in the twenty-first century. Originally published in 1892.
