About This Book

The memoir and polemic traces the author's upbringing and theological training, his growing disillusionment with clerical practices, and his public objections to the ceremonial display of a revered relic. It records the ensuing clash with ecclesiastical authorities through letters, formal charges, suspension, and a written defence, while reproducing decrees, testimonials, and municipal responses. The account follows his departure from the established clergy, efforts to organize a new German Catholic congregation, and concludes with appended addresses, a confession of faith, and documents intended to explain and justify his reforming stance.
