Popery in Power: Or The Spirit of the Vatican, To Which Is Added Priestcraft, Or The Monarch of the Middle Ages, A Drama (1850) is a book written by Joseph Turnley. This book is a critical analysis of the power and influence of the Vatican and the Catholic Church during the middle ages. The author explores the role of the church in politics and the ways in which it used its power to control and manipulate the people. The book also includes a drama called Priestcraft, which depicts the corruption and abuses of power within the church. Turnley's work is a scathing critique of the Catholic Church and its practices, and it remains a relevant and important text in the study of religious history and power dynamics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
