St. Paul in Rome: Lectures Delivered in the Legation of the United States of America, in Rome (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from St. Paul in Rome: Lectures Delivered in the Legation of the United States of America, in Rome

It would not interest the reader of these discourses to know the few modifications which they have undergone in preparing them for the press. They are published in substance as they were delivered.

The last Lecture, on the claims of the Church of Rome to exclusive sanctity, to infallibility, and to unity, has no immediate connection with the series upon St. Paul. It was delivered last year, after the hearing of a discourse by Monsignore Manning. I venture to publish it, because although hastily pre pared, it contains a refutation of that one train of argument which is over and over again repeated, by the distinguished author, to the English and Ameri can auditors who crowd to listen to his Advent and Lenten Sermons.
