About This Book

A former Roman Catholic priest presents a critical account of church structures and practices, examining papal temporal power, episcopal authority, and sacramental systems—particularly auricular confession and priestly absolution—and how they function in practice. Drawing on council canons and personal experience, the author alleges clerical secrecy, abuses in convents and among priests, and the use of ecclesiastical authority to undermine civil allegiance and influence politics. The text combines documentary citation, doctrinal analysis, and autobiographical testimony to urge public awareness and scrutiny of institutional behavior and its implications for republican governance.
