The Catholic Church and History

Hilaire Belloc Imprimatur. The Catholic Church claims to speak with Divine and Infallible Authority. Certain objections and detractors from history say that this is not true. Hilaire Belloc’s object in this book is to rebutt these objections from protestant and agnostic arguments. In Belloc’s own words, the modern world “. . . is rapidly becoming divided into two fairly definite camps: those who accept the full mission of the Catholic Church and those who are convinced by the study of geology and recorded History, that the Catholic Church is but one more example of man’s power of self-delusion.” This book carefully and effectively refutes the latter camp. Hardcover, 60 lb. cream paper, sewn signatures, 110 pages.
