The Catholic Controversy: Maintained in the Periodical Publications of Boston, New Salem, and Other Towns of the United States of America (1809)

The Catholic Controversy is a book that was originally published in 1809 by John Thayer. The book is a compilation of periodical publications that were circulated in Boston, New Salem, and other towns in the United States of America. These publications were aimed at addressing the controversies surrounding the Catholic Church during that time. Thayer, who was a former Protestant minister and a convert to Catholicism, used these publications to defend the Catholic faith against the attacks and criticisms of Protestant ministers and other anti-Catholic groups. The book covers a range of topics, including the history and doctrines of the Catholic Church, the role of the Pope, the use of images and relics in Catholic worship, and the Catholic view of salvation. Thayer's arguments are well-researched and well-articulated, making this book an important contribution to the history of the Catholic Church in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
