On The Knee Of The Church

On The Knee Of The Church: Female Training In Romish Convents And Schools (1869) is a book written by Charles Sauvestre that delves into the practices of female training in Roman Catholic convents and schools during the 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the harsh and often oppressive conditions that young girls were subjected to in these institutions, including physical abuse, forced labor, and strict religious indoctrination. Sauvestre also discusses the role of the Catholic Church in perpetuating these practices and the societal pressures that led families to send their daughters to these institutions. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of Catholic history and serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals, particularly vulnerable populations such as children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
