Reasons for Leaving the Church of Rome

A former Roman Catholic clergyman recounts his decision to join the established church, offering a personal, scripturally framed account and defense of that change. The pamphlet blends a dedication and a direct address to former co-religionists with rhetorical questions, moral reflections, and doctrinal criticisms of Roman practices. The author emphasizes conscience and spiritual duty over material comfort, acknowledges anticipated hardships and pastoral responsibilities, and urges readers to reason together about faith. The tone combines apology, persuasion, and pastoral concern while explaining theological objections, personal experience, and an appeal for the eternal welfare of those he left behind.
