Publisher's Synopsis
Evenings with the Romanists is a book written by Michael Hobart Seymour in 1856. The book is divided into several chapters, with an introductory chapter on the moral results of the Romish system. The author spends the rest of the book discussing his conversations with Roman Catholics, including priests and laypeople, about their beliefs and practices. Seymour's purpose in writing this book was to provide a firsthand account of the Roman Catholic faith and to address misconceptions about the religion. He believed that many Protestants had an incorrect understanding of Catholicism and hoped to correct these misunderstandings through his conversations with Roman Catholics. Throughout the book, Seymour discusses various aspects of Catholicism, including the role of the Pope, the use of confession, and the veneration of saints. He also addresses the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, particularly in regards to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Overall, Evenings with the Romanists is a detailed exploration of the Roman Catholic faith and an attempt to promote understanding and dialogue between Catholics and Protestants.With An Introductory Notice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
