Defence of the Seven Sacraments - New Millennium Edition

Before his schism from Rome and Reign of Terror, Henry VIII was an accomplished theologian and staunch defender of the Catholic Faith. As king of England, he authored 'Defence of the Seven Sacraments', a book deliberately aimed against Martin Luther and his errors. He defended papal primacy. He fought for all seven sacraments. This masterpiece of Catholic Apologetics earned him the title of 'Defender of the Faith' from Leo X.This New Millennium Edition has been edited by international apologist and EWTN host Raymond de Souza, as a contribution to facilitate the re-unification of the baptized in 'one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism' (Eph 4:5) in the one Church of Christ, the pillar and mainstay of the Truth (1 Cor. 3:15). It is dedicated to Our Lady of Walsingham. 'Defence of the Seven Sacraments' raises the standard of Catholic orthodoxy and helps refute the various forms of false ecumenism which gathers all creeds together into one people, instead of all peoples in one Creed."I hope I have made clear how rashly [Luther] calumniates the Church, and how impertinent, how impious, and how absurd he is against the holy Fathers; against Scriptures; against the public faith of the Church; against the consent of so many ages and people; even against common sense itself." Excerpt from 'From the Author' written by Henry VIII
