Download or read book Charles Chiniquy written by Charles Chiniquy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chiniquy left the Roman Catholic Church in 1858. He claimed that the church was pagan, that Roman Catholics worship the Virgin Mary, that its theology spoils the Gospel and that its theology is anti-Christian. He also claimed that the Vatican had planned to take over the United States by importing Catholic immigrants from Ireland, Germany and France. Chiniquy claimed that he was falsely accused by his superiors (and that Abraham Lincoln had come to his rescue), that the American Civil War was a plot against the United States of America by the Vatican, and that the Vatican was behind the Confederate cause, the death of President Lincoln and that Lincoln's assassins were faithful Roman Catholics ultimately serving Pope Pius IX. After leaving the Catholic Church, Chiniquy dedicated his life to trying to win his fellow French Canadians, as well as others, from Catholicism to the Protestant faith. REVIVALPRESS.NET

Download or read book Deceit of Rome written by Maurits Prins and published by TrineDay. This book was released on 2019-04-07 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This no-holds-barred volume confirms the feelings of those who have always known something about the church just isn't right. Centuries of corruption continue even with the current pope, under whom many wealthy cardinals are enjoying incomprehensible luxury. Take top cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, for example, who recently spent €200.000 from a children's charity fund on the renovation of his luxurious penthouse apartment. Of course Bertone denies everything, but it's curious to see how often the Vatican's number two has been linked to financial fraud by the Italian Justice Department. According to Italian journalists Emiliano Fittipaldi and Gianluigi Nuzzi, millions of euros meant for charity are supposed to have been "stuck" within the administration and bureaucracy of the Roman Curia. Their sources are leaked Vatican documents, and the two people who have supposedly leaked these documents have since been arrested. These are a Spanish Opus Dei priest and a curious Italian woman, thought to be a mistress of one of the cardinals. I'm sure the pope means well, but he obviously isn't in control of the Curia of Cardinals.

Download or read book 50 Years in the Church of Rome written by Chiniquy, Charles and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 1068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Chiniquy was born in Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada of Roman Catholic parents. He studied at the college of Nicolet in Canada and entered the priesthood after graduation. At the age of 49 he left the Catholic Church (taking his congregation with him) and became a Presbyterian minister. His encounters with the inner workings of the Roman Church are so enlightening that it could only come from someone who was embedded in such a system for so many years. He later published a number of books and tracts on temperance as well as about his life and experiences in the Church. Several of these were so popular that they were translated into multiple languages. In Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, he covers such topics as: - The Bible and the Priest of Rome - Preparation for the First Communion- Initiation to Idolatry - Intellectual Education in the Roman Catholic College - Moral and Religious Instruction in the Roman Catholic Colleges - Protestant Children in the Convents and Nunneries of Rome - Rome and Education: Why the Church of Rome hates and wants to destroy the Common Schools of the United States - Theology of the Church of Rome: Its Antichristian Character - The Vow of Celibacy - The Impurities of the Theology of Rome - The Priests of Rome and the Holy Fathers - How I swore to give up the Word of God to follow the Word of Men - The Roman Catholic Priesthood, or Ancient and Modern Idolatry - Nine Consequences of the Dogma of Transubstantiation - The Old Paganism under a Christian Name - Simony - Strange and Sacrilegious Traffic in the so-called Body and Blood of Christ - Enormous Sums of Money made by the Sale of Masses - Conversions of Protestants to the Church of Rome - How the Priests Spy on the Protestants Through the Confessional - And Much More!

Download or read book Render Unto Rome written by Jason Berry and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INVESTIGATION OF EPIC FINANCIAL INTRIGUE, RENDER UNTO ROME EXPOSES THE SECRECY AND DECEIT THAT RUN COUNTER TO THE VALUES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Sunday collection in every Catholic church throughout the world is as familiar a part of the Mass as the homily and even Communion. There is no doubt that historically the Catholic Church has been one of the great engines of charity in history. But once a dollar is dropped in that basket, where does it go? How are weekly cash contributions that can amount to tens of thousands of dollars accounted for? Where does the money go when a diocese sells a church property for tens of millions of dollars? And what happens when hundreds of millions of dollars are turned over to officials at the highest ranks, no questions asked, for their discretionary use? The Roman Catholic Church is the largest organization in the world. The Vatican has never revealed its net worth, but the value of its works of art, great churches, property in Rome, and stocks held through its bank easily run into the tens of billions. Yet the Holy See as a sovereign state covers a mere 108 acres and has a small annual budget of about $280 million. No major book has examined the church’s financial underpinnings and practices with such journalistic force. Today the church bears scrutiny by virtue of the vast amounts of money (nearly $2 billion in the United States alone) paid out to victims of clergy abuse. Amid mounting diocesan bankruptcies, bishops have been selling off whole pieces of the infrastructure—churches, schools, commercial properties—while the nephew of one of the Vatican’s most powerful cardinals engaged in a lucrative scheme to profiteer off the enormous downsizing of American church wealth.
