The Faith of Our Fathers

Beschreibung

1877. Being a plain exposition and vindication of the church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The object of this volume is to present, in a plain and practical form, an exposition and a vindication of the principal tenets of the Catholic Church. It substantially embodies the instructions and discourses delivered by Rev. Gibbons before mixed congregations in Virginia and North Carolina. His chief aim was to bring the truths of the Catholic faith to our separated brethren, who generally accept the scripture as the only source of authority in religious matters, and he endeavored to fortify his statements by abundant reference to the sacred text.

Autor

American prelate James Gibbons (1834-1921) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Gibbons, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 23, 1834, rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a leading member of the American Catholic hierarchy. Gibbons was a fervent supporter of tolerance and religious freedom who made a substantial contribution to mending the rift between the Catholic Church and other religious groups. His initiatives helped Catholics become more accepted in American society because he thought that Catholicism and democratic values could coexist. Cardinal Gibbons was a prolific writer in addition to his pastoral responsibilities. "The Faith of Our Fathers," his best-known composition, is an American audience-focused defense of Catholicism. On March 24, 1921, Cardinal James Gibbons passed away, leaving behind a significant legacy as a leading figure in the American Catholic Church and an advocate for religious tolerance.
